The next highest rate was for 25 to 34 year olds witha rate of 306 per 100,000.Indicator 6: Hospitalizations Due to Alcohol and Drug UseThe rate of hospitalizations due to alcohol and drug use increased from 180 per 100,000 in 2000 to232 per 100,000 in 2007. Ventura County’s AOD hospitalization rate was lower than the stateoverall until 2004.The rate of hospitalizations due to alcohol‐related causes increased from 83 per 100,000 in 2000 to109 per 100,000 in 2007.

Indicator 2: Admissions to Alcohol and Other DrugTreatmentThe number of admissions to publicly funded alcohol and other drug treatment facilities inCalifornia and rate of admission per 100,000 total population.Treatment Data ClarificationsFindings for Indicator 2: Admissions to Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment are based on total admissionsrather than unique client counts. Clients with multiple treatment admissions during the year tend to bias thedemographic and service characteristics described. These findings include admissions for both detoxificationand other treatment services. Detoxification services are short term, often repeated numerous times, andused primarily for alcohol or heroin treatment. The inclusion of admissions to detoxification services biasesthe demographic and service characteristics described.The Substance Abuse Crime Prevention Act (SACPA) was implemented in July 2001. Clients referred by thecriminal justice system compete for limited treatment services resources and are often given priority overclients referred by other sources. In 2000, criminal justice referrals made up only 26 percent of alladmissions. By 2004, criminal justice referrals made up 42% of the admissions. The influx of these clientswith their specific demographic and service characteristics impact the makeup of the treatment populationdescribed in the key findings. For instance, clients referred by the criminal justice system rarely usedetoxification services, and more often have a primary drug other than alcohol. Also, SACPA referred clientsdo not frequently use narcotic replacement treatment for heroin/opiate abuse. Consequently, the number ofadmissions to detoxification services has decreased as well as the number of admissions with alcohol orheroin as their primary drug problem compared with pre‐SACPA levels.Table 2.1Number of Admissions to Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment and Rate per 100,000 Total Population withComparison to Statewide Rates2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008Number of TreatmentAdmissions3,382 4,429 4,927 4,202 4,097 4,255 3,296 3,487 3,414Total Population 758,884 774,447 788,038 799,892 808,735 813,633 820,242 828,983 837,840Rate per 100,000 445.65 571.89 625.22 525.32 506.59 522.96 401.83 420.64 407.48CALIFORNIARate per 100,000647.98 706.60 703.16 668.97 645.41 643.64 599.12 602.30 591.63Figure 2.1Ventura CountyTreatmentAdmission Rateper 100,000 TotalPopulation withComparison toStatewide Rates7507006506005505004504002000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008CountyCaliforniaIndicators of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse • Alcohol and Drug Treatment • Ventura County, California 9
