Office of Alcoholism & Substance Abuse Services

Summary

The OASAS Financial Management Plan achieves its savings target through enhanced controls on overtime, as well as workforce reductions via attrition.  The workforce target has been reduced by 11 positions.  OASAS will continue to review personal service costs at each Addiction Treatment Center and explore whether hiring of additional staff may have a significant impact on reducing costs for overtime, extra time, extra service and contractual services currently used for staffing at the facilities.  The agency will also impose strict controls on all non-personal service spending, including limiting OASAS attendance at conferences and out-of-state travel, as well as eliminating non-essential subscriptions and supplies, office equipment and computer purchases; reducing reliance on non-essential consultant and temporary services; and eliminating non-essential non-personal service spending at the Addiction Treatment Centers.
