The accessibility of substance abuse treatment facilities in the United States for persons with disabilities
Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment
Volume 33, Issue 1, July 2007, Pages 1-5



This study assessed the accessibility of a nationally representative sample of substance abuse treatment facilities in the United States for persons with disabilities (PWDs).

Most responding facilities self-reported a variety of barriers to physical accessibility, as well as the lack of services and physical accommodations for persons with sensory limitations.

Such widespread inaccessibility may be a factor that promotes the low representation of PWDs in the treatment population.
