Enrollment in Substance Use Disorder Treatment
What does this measure?
This indicator measures the number and rate of unique individuals who have enrolled in OASAS-certified substance use disorder treatment programs, with a specific focus on those reporting an opioid or heroin as their primary substance of use at the time of admission. The crude rate, which adjusts the number per 100,000 people, allows for a more accurate comparison of treatment enrollment between different counties and the overall state.
Summary Statement
The data reveals that enrollment rates for opioid and heroin use disorders generally declined from 2023 to 2024 across the listed counties and New York State total. However, Ulster County was an exception, experiencing an increase in heroin treatment enrollment. Throughout both years, Sullivan County consistently had the highest rates of enrollment, well above the state average, indicating a higher prevalence of substance use disorders requiring treatment in that area.
