Looking for a Substance Abuse Professional in Your Area? How Can SAP Referral Services Help?

When a safety-sensitive employee fails a drug or alcohol test, employers must remove them from their safety-sensitive duties to ensure a safe and productive workplace. One of the most important steps of the return to duty process is to contact a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP). SAPs are trained professionals who specialize in evaluating and addressing issues related to substance abuse. They can provide recommendations for treatment and/or education for the employees, perform a follow-up evaluations, and refer them to submit to a drug and/or alcohol test once they have shown compliance. By working with an experienced SAP, employers can ensure that their mandated employees receive the help they need while also protecting their business from potential liability issues.

Finding a Substance Abuse Professional in Your Area – How?

Substance Abuse Professionals, or SAPs, are professionals who offer assessment and referral services for employees who have violated their employer’s drug and alcohol policies. They provide a valuable service to employers by helping to ensure that the workplace is safe and productive. Finding the right SAP for your needs can be a challenge, but there are a few options available.

When an employee fails a drug and/or alcohol test their employer must immediately remove them from their safety-sensitive duties in order to protect themselves, their colleagues, and the general public. At this point they are either referred to a service agent, such as SAP Referral Services, or directed to find a Substance Abuse Professional by searching online. If an employee chooses to find a SAP online they will have to do all the leg work – calling multiple SAPs, waiting for returned calls, seeing when they have availability, ensuring their qualifications are up-to-date, etc. If the employee wants an easier start to the return to duty process they should call SAP Referral Services (SRS), a service agent with a network of SAPs nationwide.
