Outpatient Drug Rehab is a supreme option available for those drug abusers who are exposed to mild addiction and, they cannot disrupt their regular work/family life routine to get their treatment done. It is generally opted by those who wish to get their treatment done from a clinic or hospital during specified chosen hours of their routine which may range from 12-16 hours per week, without having to stay at the rehab center. The drug abusers with hectic life and busy professional routine are out most common patients. Outpatient rehab allows complete flexibility in the treatment program in the terms of hours and days per week selected.

Just like inpatient rehab, the outpatient rehab also fulfills the criteria of making the patient free from substance use but, with a difference that he doesn’t have to stay in the rehab center as in the case of in patient detox where he is admitted to the rehab center for his de-addiction. An outpatient program may include psychosocial interventions, medications, education/counsellings, art or music therapy, and support services, depending upon the client’s need. Support services may be in the form of helping the person undergoing the rehab program finding a job or a house to live. Besides, the patient may also profit in the form of newly developed social connections, personal encouragement, and motivation to achieve his ultimate goal of undergoing outpatient rehab.

Apart from imparting the education, individual or group counselings our outpatient program allows the complete monitoring and treatment of the drug withdrawal symptoms which can be in the form of anxiety, depression, and anger issues.

There is a myth that impatient rehab has more success rate as compared to the outpatient detox which, is not true because the goal of both the plans are the same however, the success completely depends upon the will power and the self-discipline of the patient under going the treatment.

The clearinghouse has been introduced as the secured online database to maintain records about the CDL(Commercial Driving Licence) drivers’ who are covered by FMCSA’s drug and alcohol program. This also includes drivers with commercial learner’s permits (CLPs).

SAP for DOT has made the clearinghouse SAP evaluation mandatory for the employees who test positive for drug or alcohol abuse. SAP is the user in the Clearinghouse who is also required to register himself on the clearinghouse. As soon as the driver is found positive he must register on the FMCSA Clearinghouse and contact SAP professional. The list of the qualified DOT SAPs may be provided by your employer so that you can fix your appointment as soon as to complete the return-to-duty process.

SAP EVALUATION PROCESS

• The driver registers himself on the clearinghouse where the employer then, enters the violation record on the driver’s name.
• The driver receives a notification in the form of e-mail or text that information has been entered on his record.
• The driver can now access the list of qualified SAPs and choose one which he wishes to.
• Similarly, SAP receives the push-up notification from the clearinghouse mentioning the driver’s name in the form of his connection request.
• The SAP clicks on “Accept Request” or “Deny Request” following which he can see the driver’s records if he accepts the request.
• On the initial assessment, SAP intimates the driver about his treatment recommendation and also enters the date of the final assessment meeting.
• SAP, after determining that the driver has successfully complied with the treatment, enters the date of the demonstration which serves as the means for the employer who then, orders the conduct of Return to Duty test.
