Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) Services
Ensure workplace safety and compliance with professional Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) services from DRIVEX SOLUTION. If an employee tests positive during a drug or alcohol test or discloses a substance use concern, our SAP services provide a structured and effective process to help them regain their readiness to work safely.
What Are SAP Services?
Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) services are essential for employers, especially in safety-sensitive industries like transportation, construction, oil and gas, and manufacturing. SAPs play a critical role in evaluating employees, recommending treatment programs, and overseeing their return-to-duty process while ensuring adherence to DOT regulations.
At DRIVEX SOLUTION, we provide comprehensive SAP services to support employees, employers, and workplaces in maintaining safety and regulatory compliance.
1. SAP Assessment and Evaluation
When an employee tests positive for drugs or alcohol or voluntarily discloses a substance use issue, the SAP conducts a thorough assessment.
- The SAP evaluates the employee's situation and recommends an appropriate treatment plan tailored to their needs.
- To prioritize public and workplace safety, employees remain off work or are moved to non-safety-sensitive roles until they meet SAP requirements and are cleared to return.
Key Benefits:
- Ensures compliance with DOT regulations.
- Helps maintain safety within the workplace.
2. Tailored Treatment Programs
Based on the evaluation, the SAP recommends one or more treatment options, which may include:
- Education Programs: Substance abuse awareness and prevention training.
- Outpatient Treatment: Flexible, community-based treatment sessions.
- Inpatient Rehabilitation Programs: Intensive 21- or 28-day programs for individuals needing focused care.
Employees must complete the SAP-recommended treatment program to move forward in the return-to-work process.
Why It Matters:
- Supports employees on their journey to recovery.
- Reduces risks of repeat incidents in safety-sensitive roles.
3. Return-to-Duty (RTD) Testing
Once the treatment program is successfully completed, the SAP develops a Return-to-Duty (RTD) plan. Before an employee can resume any duties, they must:
- Pass a Return-to-Duty drug and/or alcohol test.
- Provide a negative result to confirm they are free from substance use.
The RTD process ensures that employees are prepared to return to work safely, minimizing risks to themselves and others.
4. Follow-Up and Unannounced Testing
After clearing the RTD test, the SAP establishes a written follow-up testing plan to monitor the employee's ongoing compliance.
- The follow-up testing plan includes a minimum of 6 unannounced tests within the first 12 months.
- Tests are tailored to company-specific policies but must meet DOT requirements.
The RTD process ensures that employees are prepared to return to work safely, minimizing risks to themselves and others.
Why Follow-Up Testing Is Critical:
- Reinforces accountability and commitment to a drug-free workplace.
- Provides ongoing assurance to employers that employees remain substance-free.
