If a violation of this regulation occurs, an evaluation needs to be completed by a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) before the employee can return to their saftey-sensitive job functions.\r\n\r\nThis Return-to-Duty Process begins by contacting a credentialed and qualified SAP for an initial evaluation. This evaluation will determine a course of action to be completed so the employee may be considered to return to work. This may consist of education, treatment or a combination of both. A follow-up determines eligibility to return to work and coordination of after-care as needed.\r\n\r\nLet Family Guidance Center help you or your employee take the first step toward getting back to work. Our Substance Abuse Professional Nancy Briggs will guide you through the process.\r\n\r\nCall us at (610) 374.4963 today to learn more or to schedule an evalutation.\r\n\r\nPlease reference <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dot.gov\/sites\/dot.dev\/files\/docs\/PART40_2012.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Title 49 Part 40<\/a> for details regarding DOT Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing programs, SAP evaluations, and the Return-to-Duty Process.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row bg_type=&#8221;image&#8221; parallax_style=&#8221;vcpb-default&#8221; bg_image_new=&#8221;id^3133|url^https:\/\/familyguidancecenter.com\/fgc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/reach-out-slide.jpg|caption^null|alt^null|title^null|description^null&#8221; bg_image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221; bg_override=&#8221;ex-full&#8221; min_height=&#8221;450px&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1784379146876{margin-top: 85px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-text-color\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><span style=\"font-size: 36pt;\">Reach Out<\/span><!-- \/wp:post-content -->\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"style\":{\"spacing\":{\"margin\":{\"bottom\":\"2.5rem\"}},\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":\"17px\",\"fontStyle\":\"normal\",\"fontWeight\":\"400\",\"lineHeight\":\"1.9\"},\"color\":{\"text\":\"#ffffff\"}}} --><\/span>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #ffffff;\">Ready to talk?
