Notes: *Admission to substance abuse treatment was required or encouraged of the respondent by a judge, probation or parole officer, or other criminal justice official. **Illicit drugs include heroin, cocaine, illicit amphetamines/methamphetamines, hallucinogens, inhalants, ecstasy, GHB, ketamine, K2, rohypnol, bath salts, and street fentanyl. ***Unknown/no responses categories (ie, missing data) were excluded from statistical testing. Due to low cell size (n<5), the fishers exact test was run in place of the chi-square test for age, race, and treatment modality. The categories for employment and treatment modality were collapsed prior to running statistical testing. Employment categories included professional/administrative, clerical or sales; skilled, semi-skilled, other manual; homemaker; disabled; no occupation; and other (includes the remaining categories with cell counts of n<5). Treatment modality categories included residential/inpatient, outpatient/non-methadone, corrections (drug court, probation/parole, DUI/DWI, other corrections); and other (methadone, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, and other).
