The National Drug and Alcohol Treatment Unit Survey was used to measure changes in specialty alcoholism treatment spending between 1979 and 1989 nationally and by state. National spending more than doubled from $1.6 billion to $3.8 billion in 1989 dollars. Private spending increased more rapidly than public spending, although most clients continue to be publicly funded. Dramatic differences across states in public funding growth were partially explained by differential increases in per capita income and in federal substance abuse block grants. Access to treatment continues to vary widely across the states.
国家药物和酒精治疗单位调查用于衡量1979年至1989年期间全国及各州专业酒精中毒治疗支出的变化。以1989年美元计算，全国支出从16亿美元增加到38亿美元，增长了一倍多。私人支出的增长速度超过公共支出，尽管大多数客户仍由公共资金资助。各州在公共资金增长方面的巨大差异部分归因于人均收入和联邦药物滥用整笔拨款的不同增长。各州获得治疗的机会仍然差异很大。
