People Served
The number of individuals
served by state-funded
substance abuse and mental
health providers depends on
available funding. Waiting lists
exist for all services.
Projected Need
Substance abuse and mental
health customers are served in
order of severity scales. Upon
release, offenders would be
queued with the general
population for assessment.

Sixty-four percent of female drug offenders in Alabama
report having at least one dependent, while only 33
percent of male drug offenders report having at least
one dependent.
In all, 2,134 female offenders in Alabama reported
having 3,257 dependents (as of May 2007).
The Department of Human Resources reports that
foster parent care because of parent drug abuse has
increased from 58 cases in 2000 to 585 cases in 2005,
largely attributable to methamphetamine use.
Nationwide, hospital admissions for
methamphetamine/amphetamine have
increased dramatically since 1995.
In Oregon, treatment episodes are
over 220 per 100,000. Other states
have also seen explosive growth.
Alabama was the first state in
the Southeast to register more
than 47 admissions per
100,000 (2004).

Health Services Administration, Treatment Episode Data Set

Meth/Amphetamine Admissions per 100,000 Population
Treatment episode data for admissions for
methamphetamine/amphetamine use in
Alabama peaked in 2004 at 52 per
100,000. New data on 2005 and
estimates for 2006 should be available
soon.
