Definition:
A representative number that identifies the agency site at which the client received either substance abuse or problem gambling treatment services or both.
Guide for Use:
Select the unique agency site number for the location where the client received treatment services.

Agencies with more than one site (location) establish the numeric coding of sites from which substance abuse and or problem gambling services are delivered beginning with 1 and moving in sequence until all agency sites have a unique numeric code.
For example: When an agency has multiple sites a client could be admitted at one site location (admission # = 1) and receive a treatment/service at another (client site # = 2). If the client is admitted at one site location (admission site # = 1) and receives treatment/service at the same site (client site # =1).
