A Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) is a person who evaluates employees
who have violated a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) alcohol and
drug regulation and makes recommendations concerning education,
treatment, follow-up testing and aftercare. Alpine Clinic provides
Substance Abuse Professional Services for businesses, and these services
comply with the regulations of DOT. New regulations went into effect as
of August 01, 2001 and Alpine SAP providers meet these training
requirements.
The role of the Substance Abuse
Professional:
Referrals for SAP services are scheduled within 24 hours and involve
a comprehensive substance abuse assessment. The SAP then develops an
appropriate treatment plan and monitors that the client complies with
these recommendations. A follow-up appointment is scheduled to
determine compliance and the SAP communicates this to the employer and
makes recommendations regarding follow-up drug testing and aftercare
services.
