Drug & Alcohol Monitoring Services
why choose us
Protect your workplace & Support safer returns to work.
Monitoring is typically an employer-directed program for individuals with substance use disorders, particularly those in safety-critical, safety-sensitive, or public-trust roles. It may also support individuals in treatment.
Monitoring is often medically recommended after an Independent Medical Evaluation confirms a substance use disorder diagnosis.
Program Standards
Professional monitoring is built on clear boundaries, objectivity, and ethical, legally defensible practices.
Arbutus Work Solutions supports each participant through:
Objective assurance for employers, unions, and treatment facilities
Monitoring provides employers, unions, and treatment facilities with objective, third-party assurance that an individual remains abstinent and follows their recovery program. In employment settings, it supports workplace safety and helps employers meet health and safety requirements.
Professionals cleared to return to work typically have completed some form of substance misuse treatment, either outpatient or residential treatment, and employers and certification associations recognize the need for ongoing assurance their employees are committed and adhering to their recovery. Our medical monitoring program options provide the necessary oversight and support to ensure workplace safety is not compromised through our rigid, 24/7 compliance protocols.
