Two steps are included in SAP evaluation:
- The initial phase Face-to-face clinical interview and assessment are part of theSAP evaluation.
To evaluate whether a problem with substance misuse is present and, if so, what level of therapy is required.
- The addition of a referral for education or drug or alcohol addiction therapy (as determined by our SAP)
- Ongoing observation of the employee while they are receiving therapy.
- The follow-up SAP evaluationconsists of the following:
- A follow-up session that enables SAP to assess whether the treatment was effective and to issue a “Notice of Compliance” or “Notice of Noncompliance” based on the employee's performance throughout the course of the program.
- Suggestions for more study or medical care (if needed)
- Advice for post-treatment (as deemed necessary)
- Written report to DER (Designated Employer Representative) (Designated Employer Representative)
If the employer is pleased with the report, he can direct the execution of a Return to Duty test, the results of which should be negative in order to reinstate you; however, if they are positive, you must again go through the assessment process and adhere to the SAP Evaluation until you are accepted as fit.
