Evaluation & Referral (SAP) services for DOT Employees

National Substance Abuse Professional

With a comprehensive wellness program, your business can offer a healthier working environment while also maintaining happier employees. Good wellness programs can reduce costs, drive up productivity and increase employee health and retention. One of the keys to sound wellness programs is helping to initiate behavioral changes. These changes are difficult to make and require high employee engagement, adherence to good practices and good health interventions. Unfortunately, wellness programs that are not well-planned may fail in the delivery of these outcomes.

If your business has existing programs that are not giving you the outcomes that you want, identifying and correcting the problems is paramount. Our professional wellness consultants can offer expert guidance in establishing new comprehensive wellness programs to identify and fix the issues in your agency.

Substance Abuse Professional Facts

What do SAPs do?

SAPs evaluate workers who have violated drug and alcohol rules in their DOT-regulated jobs. After they complete their evaluations, SAPs make recommendations for drug and alcohol education, treatment, substance use monitoring, and ongoing care needs. An SAP serves to monitor the process.

SAPs play a large role in determining whether an employer can allow the worker to drive a school bus or commercial truck, fly a plane, or control a train or subway. Because of the roles an SAP has, they have a large amount of responsibility for public safety. When you are sent to a substance abuse professional, they will be able to report whether you have complied with your program and the recommendations that were given.

What happens if you refuse to submit to a DOT alcohol or drug test?

If you work in an industry that is regulated by the Department of Transportation, you must submit to a DOT alcohol or drug test when you are asked to do so. If you refuse to take the test, you will be removed from your position until you complete the process. You will be required to see a certified SAP and to follow the recommendations that are given. Refusing to take a DOT alcohol or drug test may also make it harder for you to find a different job. Your drug and alcohol tests will have to be observed, and you will be responsible for paying for them. Finally, your license, certificate, authorization, and rating might be suspended, revoked, or restricted.
