Prevalence, Treatment, And Unmet Treatment Needs Of US Adults With Mental Health And Substance Use Disorders
ABSTRACT We examined prevalence, treatment patterns, trends, and correlates of mental health and substance use treatments among adults with co-occurring disorders. Our data were from the 325,800 adults who participated in the National Survey on Drug Use and Health in the period 2008–14. Approximately 3.3 percent of the US adult population, or 7.7 million adults, had co-occurring disorders during the twelve months before the survey interview. Among them, 52.5 percent received neither mental health care nor substance use treatment in the prior year. The 9.1 percent who received both types of care tended to have more serious psychiatric problems and physical comorbidities and to be involved with the criminal justice system. Rates of receiving care only for mental health, receiving treatment only for substance use, and receiving both types of care among adults with co-occurring disorders remained unchanged during the study period. Low perceived need and barriers to care access for both disorders likely contribute to low treatment rates of co-occurring disorders. Future studies are needed to improve treatment rates among this population.
S ubstance use disorders and mental disorders influence each other, and their combined presentation (here- after referred to as co-occurring disorders) results in more profound
functional impairment; worse treatment out- comes; higher morbidity and mortality; in- creased treatment costs; and higher risk for homelessness, incarceration, and suicide than each of the individual disorders.1–4 Current treat- ment guidelines recommend that people with co- occurring disorders receive treatments for both disorders.5–7 However, little is known about the twelve-month prevalence, service use patterns, correlates of mental health and substance use treatments, and unmet treatment need among US adults with co-occurring disorders. Recent studies indicate that the prevalence of
opioid use disorders and marijuana use among adults has increased in recent years.8,9 It is im-
portant to determine whether these specific in- creases led to greater overall prevalence of co- occurring disorders, because adults with opioid or marijuana use disorders are likely to have co- occurring mental illness.8,9 Also, two recent stud- ies reported that between 2005–07 and 2014 and between 2004 and 2013, respectively, among the overall US adult population, receipt of mental health care increased (primarily as a result of increasing use of psychiatric medications), and receipt of substance use treatment remained stable.10,11 However, it is unknown whether there have been similar changes in patterns of care for adults with co-occurring disorders. The Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental
Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 required insurance coverage of mental health and substance use treatments to be equal to cov- erage of general medical care.12 Moreover, pro- visions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) may

facilitate access to and integration of mental health care and substance use treatment for adults with co-occurring disorders.13–17 The ACA expanded and highlighted parity of insurance coverage of treatments for mental illness and substance use disorders. It also emphasized expanding coverage and improving quality through better integration of behavioral with general medical services.14–17 It is unknown whether these policies have led to changes in treatment rates of co-occurring disorders. Thus, using a large, nationally representative
data set on co-occurring disorders and mental health and substance use treatments, we exam- ined the following understudied questions:What was the recent prevalence of twelve-month co- occurring disorders among adults in the United States? What were the patterns of mental health and substance use treatments received by adults with co-occurring disorders? Did these patterns change during the period 2008–14? What rea- sons for not receiving mental health and sub- stance use treatments were reported by adults with co-occurring disorders who perceived un- met treatment needs? Addressing the gaps in knowledge inherent
in our research questions may identify where specialized services or targeted outreach efforts might be developed and may improve treatment rates for both disorders among this population.
Study Data And Methods Data Sources We examined data on adults ages eighteen and older who participated in the Na- tional Survey on Drug Use and Health in the period 2008–14. We used that study period be- cause data on mental illness are available start- ing with 2008 and because data on substance use disorders after 2015 are not comparable with previous data, because of changes in the survey items. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health
was conducted each year by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). It provides nationally representative data on mental illness, mental health care, sub- stance use disorders, and substance use treat- ment among the US civilian noninstitutional- ized population ages eighteen and older. We calculated an annual mean weighted response rate of 63.5 percent for the 2008–14 surveys, according to the definition of response rate 2 of the American Association for Public Opinion Research.19 Details regarding survey methods have been published elsewhere.18
Measures ▸ MENTAL ILLNESS: Mental illness among
adults ages eighteen and older was defined as
currently having or at any time in the past year having had a diagnosable mental disorder (ex- cluding developmental disorders and substance use disorders) of sufficient duration to meet the diagnostic criteria specified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edi- tion (DSM-IV).20
Based on data from the 2008–12 Mental Health Surveillance Study, a model was devel- oped to predict both past-year mental illness sta- tus (yes or no) and serious mental illness status (yes or no) for each respondent in the adult samples of the National Survey on Drug Use and Health since 2008.21 We used the mental illness variable to identify respondents with mental disorders, and we used the serious men- tal illness variable to control for the severity of mental illness in multivariable models. ▸ SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS: The surveys
estimated substance use disorders (dependence on or abuse of alcohol or an illicit drug) during the previous twelve months based on assess- ments of individual diagnostic criteria in the DSM-IV.20 The severity of substance use disor- ders was measured by the number of criteria met across these substances.22–25
▸ MENTAL HEALTH CARE AND PERCEIVED UN-
MET NEED: All adult survey respondents were asked to report on their receipt of inpatient or outpatient care or receipt of prescription medi- cations for mental health problems in the past year. Inpatient care includes services received at the following locations: a psychiatric hospital, the psychiatric unit of a general hospital, the medical unit of a general hospital for mental health treatment, or another type of hospital for mental health care. Outpatient care includes services received at following locations: a com- munity mental health center, the office of a pri- vate therapist for mental health care (a psychol- ogist, psychiatrist, social worker, or counselor), the office of a private physician (nonpsychia- trist), an outpatient medical clinic for mental health care, a day treatment program for mental health care, or another type of facility for mental health care. The surveys asked all adult respondents
whether they perceived that they had had unmet need for mental health care in the past year. Those who perceived this need for care and did not receive it were asked to report reasons why they did not receive it. ▸ SUBSTANCE USE TREATMENT AND PER-
CEIVED UNMET NEED: Substance use treatment refers to treatment received for the use of illicit drugs or alcohol or for medical problems associ- ated with that use.26 It includes treatment re- ceived in the past year at a hospital (inpatient), rehabilitation facility (outpatient or inpatient),

mental health center, emergency department (ED), the office of a private physician, or prison or jail. The surveys asked adults with substance use problems whether they perceived that they had had unmet need for substance use treatment in the past year. Those who perceived unmet need for that treatment and who had not received it were asked to report reasons why they did not receive it.
▸ HEALTH STATUS: The surveys captured respondents’ self-rated health and the number of ED visits in the past year. Physical co- morbidities were assessed by asking adult respondents if they had been told by a doctor or other health care professional in the past year that they had hypertension, heart disease, diabe- tes, stroke, asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, pneu- monia, hepatitis, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV/AIDS, ulcers, tuberculosis, sleep apnea, tin- nitus, pancreatitis, cirrhosis, or lung cancer.We used this list to compute the total number of physical comorbidities.
▸ SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS
AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE INVOLVEMENT: We ana- lyzed respondents’ age, sex, race/ethnicity, edu- cation, employment status, health insurance sta- tus, marital status, annual family income as a percentage of the federal poverty level, residence in any Metropolitan Statistical Area, census re- gion, and survey year. We also assessed justice involvement, which was defined by having had any arrest and booking, probation, or parole in the past year.27
Item response rates on the surveys are high. Moreover, missing values are imputed in the survey using predictive mean neighborhoods28,29
or a modified version of that method.29
Statistical Analyses Analyses were con- ducted in four stages. First, we estimated the twelve-month prevalence of co-occurring disor- ders among US adults, the twelve-month preva- lence of receiving mental health care and sub- stance use treatment, and detailed treatment
patterns among adults with co-occurring disor- ders. Second, we assessed the twelve-month prevalenceof receipt of neithertype of care, men- tal health care only, substance use treatment only, and both types of care among this popula- tion, according to sociodemographic character- istics, health status, serious mental illness, se- verity of substance use disorders, and criminal justice involvement. Third, we used bivariable and multivariable
multinomial logistic regression models to assess correlates of receipt of mental health and sub- stance use treatments. Multicollinearity (using variance inflation factors) and potential interac- tion effects between examined factors were as- sessed and were not found in the final multivari- able model. Finally, we assessed the prevalence of per-
ceived unmet treatment needs for mental health care and for substance use treatment among adults with co-occurring disorders who did not receive the corresponding care and who pre- sented their commonly reported reasons for not receiving the care.We used SUDAAN, version 11.0.1,30 to account for the complex sample de- sign and sampling weights of the survey data. Limitations This study had several limita-
tions. First, the surveys did not cover homeless people not living in shelters, active-duty mem- bers of the military, or people residing in insti- tutions. However, the surveys covered homeless people who lived in shelters and included adults who had been discharged from institutions at the time of the survey interview. Second, the surveys did not measure the qual-
ity and exact timing of receipt of mental health care and substance use treatment at different settings. Third, the surveys did not ask about substance use treatment provided in outpatient medical clinics. Fourth, the surveys did not measure the fre-
quency or duration of substance use treatment. Fifth, they did not query for specific mental dis- orders, except for major depressive episode and substance use disorders. However, mood disor- ders, anxiety disorder, eating disorder, adjust- ment disorder, and psychotic symptoms (delu- sions, hallucinations, or both) are likely to be represented among adults with mental illness in the sample.31
Finally, the survey data were self-reported and subject to recall bias.
Study Results Based on the 325,800 sampled adults ages eigh- teen and older from the 2008–14 surveys, we estimated that an annual average of 3.3 percent of the US adult population, or 7.7 million adults,
Our findings document a large gap between the prevalence of co- occurring disorders and treatment rates.

had co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorders in the past year (data not shown). In particular, among the 42.1 million adults with mental illness, 18.2 percent also had substance use disorders. Among the 20.3 million adults with substance use disorders (annual average), 37.9 percent also had mental illness. The overall prevalence of co-occurring disorders was gener- ally stable during the study period (for the over- all trend, p = 0.7785). Patterns Of Mental Health And Substance
Use Treatments Among adults with co-occur- ring disorders, 43.6 percent received any mental
health care in the prior year (Exhibit 1), which was slightly higher than the corresponding mental health treatment rate among adults with mental illness, regardless of co-occurring status (42.1 percent; data not shown). Also among adults with co-occurring disorders, 13.0 percent received substance use treatment in the past year (Exhibit 1), which was 67 percent higher than the corresponding substance use treatment rate among adults with substance use disorders re- gardless of co-occurring status (7.8 percent; data not shown). Among adults with co-occurring disorders,
9.1 percent received both mental health care and substance use treatment, 34.5 percent received mental health care only, 3.9 percent received substance use treatment only, and 52.5 percent received neither mental health care nor substance use treatment (Exhibit 1). For de- tailed patterns of receiving outpatient and in- patient mental health care and substance use treatment, see the online Appendix Exhibit.32
Twelve-Month Prevalence Of Treatments Exhibit 2 shows that among US adults with co- occurring disorders, the annual rates of receiv- ing neither type of care, mental health care only, substance use treatment only, and both types of care remained stable during the study period. Correlates Of Treatments Consistent with
the bivariable results, our multivariable results showed that the adjusted prevalence of receiving neither type of care, mental health care only, substance use treatment only, and both types of care remained stable during the study period (Exhibit 3). Compared to receiving both types of care, after
adjustment for covariates, the following charac-

teristics were associated with receiving neither type of care: having no physical comorbidities, having no serious mental illness, meeting three or fewer substance use disorder criteria across substances, having no criminal justice involve- ment, and being uninsured. Similarly, the fol- lowing characteristics were associated with re- ceiving mental health care only: meeting three or fewer substance use disorder criteria across sub- stances and having no criminal justice involve- ment. And the following characteristics were as- sociated with receiving substance use treatment only: having no physical comorbidities, having no serious mental illness, having criminal justice involvement, and being uninsured.
Perceived Unmet Need For Mental Health Care Among the 7.7 million US adults with co- occurring disorders, 4.3 million (56.4 percent) did not receive mental health care in the past year. Among those who did not receive care, 1.1 million (24.3 percent) perceived an unmet need for it in the past year (data not shown) and reported their reasons. The most common were inability to afford the treatment cost (52.2 percent), not knowing where to go for treatment (23.8 percent), and believing at the time that the problem could be handled without treatment (23.0 percent) (Exhibit 4).
Perceived Unmet Need For Substance Use Treatment Among the 7.7 million US adults with co-occurring disorders, 6.1 million (87.0 percent) did not receive substance use treatment in the past year. Among those who did not receive treatment, only 633,000 (9.5 per- cent) perceived an unmet need for it in the past year (data not shown) and reported their rea- sons. The most common was not being ready to stop using the substance(s) (38.4 percent), and the second most common was having no health insurance and being unable to afford the cost (35.1 percent) (Exhibit 5).
Discussion Using recent nationally representative data, we examined the annual prevalence, treatment pat- terns, correlates, and unmet treatment needs for co-occurring disorders among adults in the United States. Approximately 3.3 percent of the US adult population (or 7.7 million adults) had twelve-month co-occurring disorders (annual averages). In contrast to our earlier findings on the increases in opioid use disorders and marijuana use,8,9 the prevalence of alcohol use disorders among US adults declined33—which may help explain why the prevalence of co-occur- ring disorders was stable during the period 2008–14. Despite current treatment guidelines that call
for both types of disorders to be treated when they co-occur,5–7 only 9.1 percent of adults with co-occurring disorders received both types of care in the past year, and 52.5 percent received neither mental health care nor substance use treatment. Our findings document a large gap between the prevalence of co-occurring disor- ders and treatment rates among adults with those disorders in the United States. Compared to adults with mental illness, adults
with co-occurring disorders had a slightly higher mental health treatment rate (43.6 percent ver-

sus 42.1 percent). Compared to adults with sub- stance use disorders, adults with co-occurring disorders had a 67 percent higher substance use treatment rate (13.0 percent versus 7.8 per- cent). We found that adults with co-occurring disorders who received both types of care tended to have more serious psychiatric problems and
physical comorbidities and to be more likely to be involved with the criminal justice system than those who did not receive both types of care. This suggests that appropriate services are reaching some of the people in most need. However, low perceived need (especially for treating substance use disorders) and barriers to care access for both disorders likely contribute to low treatment rates of co-occurring disorders. Low perceived need has consistently been a
major barrier to treatment seeking.34 The Na- tional Comorbidity Survey Replication studies found that low perceived need was reported by 44.8 percent of respondents with a disorder who did not seek treatment34 and that 23.1–47.3 per- cent of people with lifetime substance use disor- ders never made treatment contact.35 We found that almost a quarter of adults with co-occurring disorders who did not receive mental health care perceived an unmet need for that care. Of those, more than half reported an inability to afford the treatment cost, and almost another quarter did not know where to go for treatment—which sug- gests a need to improve the awareness of treat- ment locations. By contrast, among adults with co-occurring disorders who did not receive sub- stance use treatment, fewer than a tenth per- ceived an unmet need for substance use treat- ment. This indicates that increasing the perception of need for treatment may be even more critical in the case of substance use disor- ders to increase treatment rates.Without perceiv- ing need for treatments for both types of disor- ders, it is unlikely that these adults will seek or receive timely substance use treatment and men- tal health care. In addition to low perceived need among
adults with co-occurring disorders, financial bar- riers can impede treatment seeking.13–15,36,37 Con- sistent with the results of these previous studies, we found that among adults with co-occurring disorders who perceived a need for mental health care but did not receive it, 52.2 percent reported that they could not afford the cost. Also among adults with co-occurring disorders who per- ceived a need for substance use treatment but did not receive it, 35.1 percent reported that they had no health insurance and could not afford the cost. Importantly, this study found that treatment
rates of all types for adults with co-occurring disorders did not change significantly during the period 2008–14. Although barriers may be greater for substance use treatment than for mental health care,11 for adults with co-occurring disorders, we did not find an increase in receipt of only mental health care, either. In contrast, other research has found that receipt of mental health treatment increased among the overall

adult population10,11,38 and among mentally ill baby boomers and Generation X38 during this time period, although substance use treatment in these groups remained unchanged.11 Also, we found that the interaction effect between survey year and health insurance status was not signifi- cant, which indicates that the impact of health insurance status on treatment outcomes among adults with co-occurring disorders did not vary by survey year. Thus, it appears that implementing the Mental
Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act and the ACA created incentives for health care systems to address behavioral health issues14–16 that may have had an impact on overall mental health service delivery but might not yet have affected people with substance use disorders, including those with co-occurring disorders. Future re- search is needed to continue to assess trends in mental health care and substance use treat- ments among this population and examine whether current incentives in t
