Can’t Find a SAP Program in California? SRS Can Help!

If you are a Department of Transportation (DOT) mandated, safety-sensitive employee in California, or anywhere nationwide, then you are subject to drug and alcohol testing. Safety-sensitive positions include those with direct responsibility for operating a vehicle or vessel (e.g. flight crews, maritime vessel crews, truck drivers), as well as positions integral to the operation of such vehicles (e.g. flight dispatchers, aircraft or transit vehicle maintenance).
Tests are administered upon pre-employment, for reasonable suspicion and after certain accidents on the job.
What Happens if I Fail a Drug and/or Alcohol Test?
You will first be stripped of all safety-sensitive duties, as required by DOT regulations. This is meant to ensure the safety of you, your colleagues, and the public.
Your next step is to meet with a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), who will evaluate you in order to recommend education and/or treatment. The SAP will help to devise a treatment and/or education program and recommend additional drug and alcohol tests as needed.
How Can SAP Referral Services (SRS) Help Me?
When you fail a drug and/or alcohol test you may be either given a list of SAPs in your area or be referred to a service agent by your employer, but enrolling is ultimately your responsibility. This can be difficult if you are using a SAP list because you will have to call several SAPs, wait for returned calls, etc. When you enlist a service agent to schedule you an appointment with a SAP in your area you are guaranteed that the SAP is qualified and has their credentials up to date so that you can complete the program successfully. Typically you will be scheduled with a SAP within 72 hours of enrollment in their FastTrack Enrollment Program. This allows you to get started so you can get back to work quickly!
