Enroll in a SAP Program Quickly With Our FastTrack Enrollment Program

An employee or applicant who failed a Department of Transportation (DOT) mandated drug or alcohol test must enroll in a SAP Program in order to resume their safety sensitive duties, or to be eligible for a job that requires they perform safety sensitive duties. The DOT has a strict policy on drugs and alcohol. Employees working in safety sensitive areas are subject to tests to ascertain that they are drug and alcohol-free. The affected employees include aviation workers, pipeline operators, train operators, ships & ferry operators and drivers of commercial vehicles. If a safety-sensitive employee violates DOT’s drug and alcohols rules, the employer is required to stop them from carrying out safety sensitive functions. They are then required by law to enroll in a SAP Program before resuming duty in performing safety sensitive tasks.

What is a SAP Program

Substance Abuse Professionals (SAP) evaluate those who failed a drug or alcohol test and then determine the extent of their drug or alcohol use. After the assessment, the SAP will recommend appropriate education, treatment, and/or counseling to address the substance use/abuse. Upon compliance with the recommended program and approval from the SAP, a return to duty test is performed to ensure that the patient returns a negative result before resuming safety-sensitive work. Employees/applicants are subject to random tests at work even after completing a SAP Program.

Enroll in a SAP Program Quickly With FastTrack Enrollment

After violating a drug or alcohol rule, employees/applicants may want to get back to work fast. Finding a qualified SAP in their area may be difficult, as they have to find a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) that maintains current DOT qualifications and then contact SAPs (many times leaving messages and waiting for a return call). Once they get in touch with a SAP they have to set up an appointment, which may not be for some time. SAP Referral Services (SRS) offers their FastTrack Enrollment Program to help those searching for a SAP. Enrolling in this program is quick and SRS has a vast network of qualified SAPs in over 3,000 locations within the United States, British Columbia and the Virgin Islands.
