services.
The Substance Abuse Professional

certified by the International Certification Reciprocity
Consortium of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Counselors, with
knowledge of and clinical experience in the treatment of drug and
alcohol-related issues. The primary responsibility of the SAP
is the evaluation of employees who have engaged in conduct
prohibited by the Drug-Free workplace act of 1998 to determine what
assistance, if any, the employee needs in resolving problems
associated with alcohol misuse or prohibited drug use. The SAP
will recommend the appropriate rehabilitation program, if any, and
determine that the employee has properly followed such a prescribed
program.
As a service providers the SAP may
not refer an employee to the SAPs own private practice from which
the SAP receives remuneration or to a person or organization in
which the SAP has a financial interest nor may the SAP act as or be
in any way financially connected with the Employer, the testing
libratory or the Medical Review Officer acting on behalf of the
employer.
