Once a driver with a verified drug and alcohol program violation is prohibited from performing safety-sensitive functions, the employer provides the driver with a list of DOT-qualified SAPs.
Once a driver makes contact with a DOT-qualified SAP and agrees to participate in their program, their request is accepted, and their SAP has officially been designated. Your designated SAP should support you through the process.
The next step requires the driver to meet with their SAP provider for a face-to-face clinical SAP evaluation. Once the assessment is complete, the SAP will update and complete
Your SAP will make recommendations to you for treatment and education. You must comply with the treatment(s) and educational requests given to you to receive a Return to Duty Letter and become eligible for RTD testing.
You will then be sent for an RTD test by your current or prospective employer. Once the driver can produce a negative RTD test result, they are no longer prohibited from performing safety-sensitive functions.
Once a driver has returned to work, any employer that employs this driver during the prescribed time will be responsible for completing the testing plan created by the SAP.
I honestly didn’t believe I would be able to drive again until I found this program. Staff explained everything and detailed every RTD step before I signed up. I was skeptical about it but I decided to move forward with the program. I completed my assessment the same day and the next day , I started my treatment and 10 days later, I got my return to duty letter. Now I’m able to take care of my family again thanks to Jacques and his staff. Thank you for all you do.
