Alcohol and Drug Services Study (ADSS)

The ADSS cost study aimed to provide national estimates for cost, revenue, counseling activities, and staffing. The ADSS cost study was the first study of treatment costs with validated cost data from a nationally representative sample of addiction treatment facilities.

 Key points from the study include:

  • The mean cost per admission was highest for outpatient methadone treatment ($7,415) and lowest for outpatient treatment (without methadone) ($1,433)
  • Non-hospital residential care had the highest mean cost per enrolled client day ($76.13)
  • The average cost per outpatient visit for outpatient methadone treatment was $17.78, compared with $26.72 per visit for outpatient treatment (without methadone)
