That year, the majority of entrants (76.9 percent) was in drug treatment because of cannabis abuse, followed by 7.1 percent of entrants naming cocaine. Other opioids were the third most common reason for being in treatment, with a share of 6.9 percent.
The source does not provide the original wording of the question posed during the survey. The wording of the question chosen for this statistic may therefore differ slightly from the original.
