Locate a SAP Provider in Texas

If you are a DOT mandated employee in Texas (or anywhere nationwide), performing safety-sensitive duties, you are responsible for ensuring a safe working environment for your fellow employees and the traveling public. However, a safe work environment not only means following work rules, but also fulfilling DOT alcohol and drug testing requirements. Ensuring employers identify those who use illegal substances and to point them towards treatment programs, prevents injuries and saves lives. DOT mandated employees must comply with all random drug and alcohol tests administered by your employer. If you get a positive result or refuse to submit to a test, you will be removed from your safety-sensitive position and must undergo an evaluation by a SAP provider in Texas.

Getting You Back to Work

Do you know what a SAP does to help you after you have been removed from your job?

A SAP recommends the appropriate treatment and education. A SAP is mandated to provide a detailed face-to-face evaluation and clinical assessment to determine what kind of treatment the employee needs to resolve his/her problems associated with alcohol or drug use. The SAP then recommends a course of treatment or education. This may include in-patient treatment, partial in-patient treatment, out-patient treatment, approved drug and alcohol education courses, and even self-help groups. This is beneficial to the employee because he or she will be able to recover from substance use.

A SAP helps you get back to work. Another benefit a SAP offers is that he/she can decide when the employee is fit to resume their safety-sensitive duties. This process is completed with another face-to-face evaluation. After which, the SAP determines if the employee has successfully complied with recommendations of the initial evaluation.

You can receive follow-up tests and aftercare. A SAP also has the fundamental responsibility of developing a direct follow-up program for the employee returning to work after successful compliance. Additionally, the SAP also determines the number and frequency of unannounced follow-up tests. There should be a minimum of six tests in the first year after the employee returns to his safety-sensitive duties. Follow-Up testing and aftercare are important to the employee because they assure complete recovery.
