Follow the DOT Guided Clinical Assessment
SAP or Substance Abuse Professionals help employees who have violate a DOT drug and alcohol regulation. The SAP process includes the following steps:
Face-to-Face Evaluation/Assessment
In this step, the Substance Abuse Professional conducts a thorough clinical assessment and evaluation. The analysis includes psycho-social history and administering quantitative testing tools complying with current clinical evidence-based standards.
Referral & Level of Care Recommendation
Based on the face-to-face evaluation, the SAP provides a suitable recommendation for education or treatment. The Substance Abuse Professional also recommends clinically-approved referrals that consider the level and severity of substance abuse, cost, location, and employee's work schedule.
Monitoring Progress
The SAP monitors and follows the employee throughout the treatment. The SAP also focuses on the education requirements to encourage compliance and deliver the progress report to the employer.
Final Face-to-Face Evaluation
In this step, the SAP conducts a follow-up evaluation to determine if the employee has followed the recommendations. The Substance Abuse Professional can arrange a follow-up testing schedule and aftercare plan at this stage.
Final Evaluation Report
After the final face-to-face report, the SAP will provide a follow-up report with a drug and alcohol testing plan to the Designated Employer Representative (DER).
Follow-Up Testing Plan
SAP will provide a follow-up drug/alcohol testing plan to the employer only. The testing plan is confidential and not given to the employee.
