Overview: These changes in how mental health and substance abuse treatment is delivered mean that legislation will have different consequences today than it would have had 20 years ago. However, estimates of the cost consequences of proposed legislation, including reports by the Congressional Research Service and by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, were based primarily on actuarial assumptions, which reflect utilization patterns from the 1970s and 1980s. Many of these assumptions do not reflect today's mental health or substance abuse treatment systems in the private sector as is mentioned in this report.
