Data on treatment coverage for alcohol and drug use disorders between 2015 and 2018 range from extremely low (0.3%) to a maximum of 35% for drug use disorders and 14% for alcohol use disorders in the 20 countries that were able to report these data in 2019.

To address challenges in estimating treatment coverage for substance use disorders (SDG indicator 3.5.1), a service capacity index has been introduced as a complementary measure (index range 0–100). This index varied significantly among countries, with values ranging from 1 to 80 in 2019. The highest index values were observed in the European Region (49), while the lowest were in the African Region (25) (38).
