How to Locate a SAP Program in New York

Are you a DOT mandated safety-sensitive employee who recently failed or refused to take a drug and/or alcohol test? You probably know that you need to complete a return-to-duty process guided by a SAP (Substance Abuse Professional) before you can get back to work. But, do you know where to find one? Thankfully, you’re not alone as you take these steps. If you need a SAP program in New York, or elsewhere in the US, please read on.

Finding a SAP Program

First, a SAP meets with an employee who has failed drug and/or alcohol testing and outlines the employee’s return-to-duty process. Each process is different. Some recommendations may include a residential treatment program or perhaps completion of other treatment and/or educational programs. It is important to note: in order for your return-to-duty process to be valid, you must meet with a DOT-qualified SAP.

Locating a SAP program in New York, or elsewhere in the country is a daunting task. How does someone find a SAP in such a large area? There are actually two ways to do it:

  • Locate a SAP through the employer. Employees can search for a SAP through a list of SAPs provided by their employer. The problem with this option is that unless this list has been meticulously kept up to date, chances are that there are SAPs on the list who have let their DOT qualifications lapse.
  • Use SAP Referral Service (SRS). In this option, SAP Referral Services provides a list of SAPs who are GUARANTEED to be DOT-qualified at the time of your initial evaluation. And, because our vast list containing providers in over 3,000 locations, we’ll find one that is conveniently located to you.

How SRS Quickly Connects Employees with SAPs

Getting a SAP program in New York through SRS has several advantages. A few of these include:

  • Assurance that the recommended SAP is currently DOT-qualified and meets all Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements.
  • You won’t risk repeating the return-to-duty process or end up with a SAP who doesn’t meet DOT standards.
  • Personalized recommendations based on the employee’s unique situation and schedule.
