Being Asked to Find SAPs for a Client?
We’ll Assist You in Meeting Your Client’s Needs
SRS sets the gold standard in performing Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) and Substance Abuse Expert (SAE) evaluations.
SRS’ affiliate network is comprised of clinical specialists who have extensive experience in providing DOT & NRC Substance Abuse Evaluations, and Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM). SRS continuously recruits Clinical Specialists along with Substance Abuse Professionals (SAPs) and Experts (SAE’s) that meet all licensing, training and testing requirements according to the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Regulation 49 CFR Part 40 and the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC)Regulation 10 CFR Part 26.
Since its founding in 2003, SRS has routinely assisted TPAs, MROs and EAPs In providing an array of clinical services. To date, ten’s-of-thousands of employees and 3,900 client companies have entrusted SRS in guiding them through the return to duty process.
Owned and operated by a seasoned healthcare professional, SRS has the expertise needed to recruit and retain clinical professionals who assist in determining compliance and fitness eligibility. SRS has a department solely dedicated to recruiting Substance Abuse Professionals (SAPs) & Experts (SAEs) that meet the requirements of the Department of Transportation (DOT) & the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations; specifically trained clinical specialists that support critical incident workplace trauma.
A crucial factor that sets SRS apart from others is our vigilance to the credentialing process. Prior to SRS utilizing any clinical professional, all state licenses are verified with the appropriate issuing authority. Substance Abuse Professionals’ (SAPs) and Experts (SAEs’) DOT & NRC required training, testing and requalification are confirmed utilizing an internal software program created specifically for tracking and credentialing.
All clinical professionals are required to produce proof of current professional liability insurance with minimum limits of 1M/3M which is verified on a revolving basis.
When a client company contacts SRS with a DOT or NRC substance abuse referral, SRS acts as that client’s “Service Agent” absorbing the burden of providing all information required by both the DOT and NRC guidelines. Acting as the client’s “Service Agent”, SRS supplies the applicant/employee with a list of names, addresses and phone numbers of readily available qualified Substance Abuse Professionals (SAPs) and Experts (SAEs) within the applicant/employee’s geographic area. Upon enrollment, SRS assigns a case manager who provides program assistance and monitoring through return to duty.
SRS’ non-regulated substance abuse program closely mirrors the DOT’s process. Upon enrollment, SRS assigns a case manager who will also provide monitoring and guidance.
When a client company is in need of critical incident stress management (CISM) SRS will facilitate connection with an affiliate provider anywhere throughout the US, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam and Canada.
WHY YOUR CLIENT COMPANIES NEED SRS
In the workplace, the problems of substance abusers become a threat to safety and productivity. Drug use, abuse, or addiction among employees and their family members can cause expensive problems for business and industry, ranging from lost productivity, absenteeism, injuries, fatalities, theft, low employee morale, to increase in health care, legal liabilities and workers’ compensation costs. 70% of the estimated 14.8 million Americans who use illegal drugs are employed; one worker in four, ages 18 to 34, used drugs in the past year. Americans consume 60 percent of the world’s production of illegal drugs. Companies that employ safety-sensitive employees and are regulated by the Department of Transportation (DOT) must have a substance abuse policy that identifies SAPs (Substance Abuse Professionals) or an assigned SAP referral service agent. Many non-regulated companies choose to implement substance abuse policies and utilize substance abuse specialists to make recommendations for rehabilitation.
