Around 170,000 treatment episodes for alcohol and other drug use were provided in Australia in 2009-10. Almost half were for treatment related to alcohol use-the highest proportion observed since the collection began in 2001. As with previous years, counselling was the most common type of treatment offered. One in ten episodes involved more than one type of treatment.

The number of episodes shown for Tasmania for the 2009–10 period is an overcount. References to data for Tasmania, whether in tables or in text, should be interpreted with caution.
