Notes

• Data include youth younger than age 18 who attended a substance use treatment program. Data is unduplicated, however, if a youth moved counties and attended a program in the new county, they are counted again.

The data reporting system was updated in 2021 and improved the ability to unduplicate the data across different treatment programs. In years prior, youth may have been counted more than once if they attended different treatment programs within the same year.
