PDAP MIDLAND’S EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Keeping Employees
Employable
What it is:
EAP is a short-term program
developed by the licensed and trained professionals at PDAP to help
employees who have tested positive for mind-changing chemicals to assist
in returning to work. While the focus of EAP is the employee, there are
benefits to the employer as well.
How it can help
the employer: EAP gives you
documentation that a current or prospective employee has completed a
program of self-awareness, counseling and education, and may be eligible
for rehire. These are the services included in the EAP program:
- Screen and assess potential or present
employees for chemical dependence issues using the standard tools
accepted in the field today.
- Provide a method that will promote healthy
lifestyle changes enabling the employee to safely return to work
though 12-step groups, individual counseling and education programs.
- Both the employer and the employee will
receive written reports outlining the PDAP EAP goals for that
individual.
- Provide a pre and post test method of tracking
showing gains in information understood by the individual.
- Provide an educational track for both the
individual and concerned family members, friends or co-workers.
Topics covered include: the disease concept of chemical dependency,
relapse and relapse prevention planning, social skills, and decision
making tools.
- Supervision of random drug testing at the
individual’s expense. Results will be reviewed by the counselor and
the employer.
- Both the employer and the employee will
receive written reports explaining the results of the individuals
plan. This report will be generated no sooner than 30 days and no
longer than 90 days after beginning the program, based on the
counselor’s discretion.
EAP is in no way a “guarantee” that an employee
has stopped using mind-changing chemicals. Rather, it serves as an
introduction to PDAP and the twelve-step recovery program.
PDAP is absolutely free, both to the employee and the employer.
