2. Donor must see a substance abuse professional (SAP) for an evaluation.
3. Donor must undergo and complete any treatment program that is recommended by the SAP.
4. Donor must have a verified negative Return to Duty drug screen, prior to returning to safety sensitive functions.
5. SAP is required by Federal REgulation to assign at least 6 and as many as 12, unannouced follow-up drug screen in the next 12 months. These are in addition to any times the donor is selected for random drug testing.
6. If the donor fails another drug screen during the next 12 months, the SAP may extend the follow-up testing for 60 months.
