A driver who admits to using controlled substances also attends a self-help program, such as Alcoholics Anonymous. How should this driver’s case be handled?
  1. The self-help group cannot substitute for completion of an SAP-required drug rehabilitation program.
  2. The driver should be reported to the appropriate authorities.
  3. The driver should be certified without any restrictions.
  4. The driver should be certified after six months of attending the self-help group.
Explanation
Answer: A - The self-help group cannot substitute for completion of an SAP-required drug rehabilitation program.

For drivers who use narcotics or habit-forming drugs, certification may require successful completion of a substance abuse professional (SAP)-required drug rehabilitation program. Participation in a self-help program cannot be substituted for completion of a SAP-required drug rehabilitation program. Voluntary, ongoing participation in a self-help program to support recovery is not disqualifying.
