Building California’s Behavioral Health Infrastructure: Progress Update and Opportunities for the Proposition 1 Bond

Feb 5, 2025 - In 2021 ‑2022, 17  percent of Californians aged 12 and over had an SUD, but in 2022 fewer than 20  percent of those needing SUD treatment received it. (SUD rates cited here are significantly higher than in prior years due to an updated methodology used by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, or SAMHSA.)
