I Need a SAP Program in Oklahoma
Do you live in Oklahoma? If you failed a DOT-mandated drug or alcohol test you’ll need to schedule an appointment with a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP). Department of Transportation regulated safety sensitive employees are required by law to undergo drug and/or alcohol tests. These employees include flight crews, maritime crews, pipeline crews and drivers of commercial vehicles. When safety sensitive employees test positive for drugs or alcohol, they are immediately removed from the safety sensitive tasks. The employee is then required to get in touch with a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) who will recommend the appropriate education, treatment and follow up tests. Substance Abuse Professionals also determine whether you are fit to be considered to resume safety sensitive duties at work, upon completion of return to duty process.
Benefits of a SAP Program
A qualified SAP in Oklahoma can assist employees/applicants who have recently had a testing violation at work (or who have failed a pre-employment drug or alcohol test) and guide them through the return to duty process. SAPs guide affected employees by referring applicant/employees to services such as counseling, education, treatment, and detoxification and support groups. SAPs carry out an initial evaluation, which is an in-depth assessment of affected employees. They ensure that an employee complied with recommended treatment(s), is eligible to be considered for return-to-duty and provide a report to employers (if applicable).
