The survey is designed to explore two primary research questions. 1)How much is the nation spending on MH and SA treatment in specialty care facilities? and 2)What are the expenses per client for treatment in MH and SA specialty care facilities? The survey has four modules: (1) the types of services provided by a facility (for example, whether the facility provides inpatient and/or outpatient care), (2) the facility's sources of revenue (for example, how much of the total net revenue comes from Medicaid or client private insurance), (3) client counts (such as number of clients in inpatient services), and (4) facility expenses (such as total operating expenses).
