A qualified and trained Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) evaluates the employee. This includes understanding the employee's substance use history, current situation, and any contributing factors. The purpose is to develop a tailored treatment and education plan that addresses the employee's needs.
What happens: The SAP conducts a comprehensive assessment utilizing clinical interviews and standardized assessment tools to create a personalized treatment or education plan based on your specific situation.
The SAP recommends a customized treatment or education plan based on the initial assessment. This plan can range from inpatient treatment programs and outpatient counseling to participation in educational courses geared toward substance use awareness. The goal is to help the employee address and overcome substance use concerns and prepare for a safe return to work.
Treatment options may include:
After completing the recommended treatment, the employee undergoes a follow-up evaluation by the SAP to review their progress and determine eligibility for Return-to-Duty testing. This assessment ensures the employee has complied with the treatment plan and is completely free of any illicit substances.
Critical step: The SAP reviews treatment records, verifies completion, and conducts further clinical assessments to confirm you have met all treatment requirements and are ready to safely return to work.
Before returning to duty, the employee must pass a DOT-regulated Return-to-Duty drug and alcohol test with their employer, confirming that they are substance-free and ready to perform safety-sensitive functions. The SAP also establishes a follow-up testing schedule, which includes a series of unannounced tests over a specified period to monitor the employee's continued compliance with DOT regulations.
Return-to-Duty Requirements:
Pass a DOT-regulated drug and alcohol test confirming you are substance-free and ready to perform safety-sensitive duties.
Follow-Up Testing Schedule:
Minimum of 6 unannounced tests over 12 months, with testing potentially extending up to 60 months to ensure continued compliance and recovery success.
