Return to Duty Process

Are you an employee who failed a pre-employment or random DOT drug test? Rainey Counseling Services offers DOT qualified SAP counseling to guide you through the return-to-duty process and get your career back on track safely.

FMCSA Clearinghouse

Call 817-781-7235 for a free phone consultation with a SAP counselor. If you are a CDL driver who wants to participate in the return-to-duty process then login to your FMCSA Clearinghouse account and select Robert Rainey as your designated SAP.

SAP Evaluation

The next step requires you to complete a clinical evaluation with your designated SAP counselor. Once the assessment is completed, your SAP will recommend an education and treatment plan (and update your status in the FMCSA Clearinghouse).

Education and Treatment Plan

After you complete the education and treatment plan, your SAP counselor will re-evaluate your progress to determine compliance with the treatment plan and eligibility for a return-to-duty drug test.

Return to Duty Drug Test

If you are in compliance with your treatment program, your current or prospective employer will send you to complete a return-to-duty drug test. If you pass the drug test, you are permitted to resume safety-sensitive job duties.

Follow Up Drug Testing

Once you returned to work, your current employer will be responsible for fulfilling your remaining treatment and testing plan as indicated by your SAP.
