Finding a SAP Program in North Dakota

DOT-mandated, safety-sensitive employees are responsible for the safety of the general public when they travel on buses, trains, and subways. As a DOT mandated safety-sensitive employee, individuals must abide by a strict drug and alcohol policy. A violation of the policy requires completion of the return-to-duty process with a SAP (Substance Abuse Professional). If you are a DOT mandated safety-sensitive employee who needs a SAP program in North Dakota, or elsewhere in the United States, please read on to learn more.

Why Does an Employee Need a SAP Program?

Congress put the drug and alcohol testing policy into place in 1991 after several major transportation accidents made it clear that a drug and alcohol-free environment was best for the public’s safety. Consequently, the rules require DOT mandated safety-sensitive employees to undergo drug and alcohol testing throughout the course of their employment. This includes random testing. Some employees may be chosen multiple times in a single year, while others are never picked. If an employee fails or refuses to take the test, they are immediately suspended from all safety-sensitive duties. Next, they must begin a program working with a Substance Abuse Professional before returning to work.

Help for an Employee who Needs a SAP Quickly

The SAP process varies from person to person. Requirements for educational and/or treatment programs depend on the employee’s evaluation and the SAP’s recommendation. As such, employees will want to start their return-to-duty process as quickly as possible. The longer an employee takes to complete their SAP program, the longer they are away from work and earning a living. Unfortunately, if an employee completes their return-to-duty process with a SAP who is not DOT qualified, the program is void and the employee must redo all of their efforts.

Thankfully, help is available when you partner with SAP Referral Services (SRS). SRS is a leading facilitator connecting DOT qualified SAPs with employees and employers throughout North America. Employees can feel safe knowing that any SAP provided by SRS is guaranteed to be fully qualified at the time of initial evaluation. Therefore, eliminating the risk of having to repeat the process.
