Recover from Addiction and Get Back to Work Fast!

When you fail a drug test as safety-sensitive employee mandated by the DOT, you are not permitted to perform safety-sensitive duties until you have seen a DOT qualified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) and successfully completed the return-to-duty process. Many times those who fail drug tests are not just one-off offenders, they are struggling with an addiction. Seeing a DOT qualified SAP not only allows you to begin the return-to-duty process, but it helps you begin to recover from addiction as well.

Recover from Addiction and Increase Morale

When you are working and suffering from an addiction it creates many problems. Aside from the toll that an addiction takes on your body, an addiction affects your family and work life as well. If you are a safety-sensitive employee you put many people at risk when you perform your duties under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Failing a drug test might feel like a huge stress, but in retrospect it might be what saves your life. Seeing a DOT qualified SAP can help you recover from addiction, therefore reducing work and family stress.

Working while suffering from addiction is difficult. Between cravings, stress related to family or home life, and trying to meet all of your employer’s expectations, many times things begin to crumble. You aren’t fully present while performing your work duties, you might be in debt from supporting your addiction, or maybe you simply can’t get out of bed in the morning from the emotional toll your addiction is creating. When you take the first step to recover from addiction things begin to fall in place.

Failing a drug test might feel like a breaking point. While it is, this often is the first step towards recovery. Now that you are mandated to receive help in order to return to work you can address your addiction and begin to recover.
