What Is Return-to-Duty Testing?

Return-to-duty drug testing is conducted after an employee completes the required steps in the DOT’s Return-to-Duty process, including:

Evaluation by a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP): The SAP determines the employee’s readiness to return to safety-sensitive duties.
Completion of Treatment and/or Education Programs: The individual must successfully follow the SAP’s recommendations.
Drug and Alcohol Testing: A final drug and/or alcohol test confirms the individual is drug-free before returning to work.

Common Substances Detected in Return-to-Duty Testing

Return-to-duty testing screens for a range of substances to ensure employees comply with workplace and regulatory drug-free policies. Commonly detected substances include:

Marijuana (THC): The psychoactive component of cannabis.
Cocaine: Includes crack cocaine and other derivatives.
Opiates: Such as heroin, morphine, and prescription opioids like codeine.
Amphetamines: Includes methamphetamine and prescription stimulants like Adderall.
Phencyclidine (PCP): A dissociative drug commonly known as angel dust.
Alcohol: Breath alcohol tests may be included to measure recent alcohol use.

Tests typically follow DOT-mandated panels for regulated employees, but non-regulated workplaces can customize panels to include additional substances like benzodiazepines or synthetic drugs.

IDENTICO’s return-to-duty testing ensures accurate results using SAMHSA-certified laboratories and strict chain-of-custody protocols.
