SAP services are a total cost of $1,000 and include the following:

• Development of an action plan that includes education and/or treatment, along with drug testing.

• Referrals to assist entry into acceptable programs

• A follow-up evaluation to determine if the recommended plan of action was successfully complied with and whether clinical progress sufficient enough to return to duty was achieved.

• Development of a follow-up testing plan after successful compliance allows a return to duty.
