There has been a name change for this data collection; from "DASIS" to the "National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N SSATS)." N-SSATS is the main survey component from the prior collection which provides both national and state-level data on the numbers and types of patients treated and the characteristics of facilities providing substance abuse treatment services.
Currently there are 11,754 burden hours in the OMB inventory. SAMHSA is now requesting 12,417 hours. The net increase of 663 hours is due to a 40 hour decrease for BHSIS adjustments and a 703 hour increase due to program changes.
