SMDB supplies data to three registers: - VBGS: "Waiting times regarding treatment guarantee for drug addicts", which is owned by the Ministry of Social Affairs, Housing and the Senior Citizens. The VBGS register includes an municipality part (Waiting times regarding treatment guarantee for drug addicts) and an treatment treatment center part (admissions). Before 1 July 2019, the treatment center part was an independent register called the Danish Registration and Information System (DanRis) at the Center for Alcohol and Drug Research. The municipality part of the VBGS register builds the data foundation for these statistics.

  • SIB: ”Substance addicts in treatment”, which is owned by the The Danish Health Data Authority.

  • KVALHEP: "Quality in medical treatment and Hepatitis C", which is owned by the Danish Health Authority.

However, it is only data about the social substance abuse treatment § 101 that becomes publicly available, for example in the Stat Bank and the article News from Statistics Denmark. Data relating to § 142 (medical drug abuse treatment) is only available as Micro-data through Statistics Denmark's Research Service (see section "Micro-data access").
