Self-Referral. Staff members with personal alcohol or drug abuse problems should request assistance from the Superintendent. Assistance will be provided on a confidential basis, and each staff member will be referred to the appropriate treatment and counseling services.

Corporation Referral. Staff members who test positive for alcohol and/or drug use/abuse and who are referred, at Corporation request, for counseling or treatment will be limited to one (1) opportunity for counseling or treatment to cease the use of illegal drugs. A second positive test for the use of alcohol and or drugs will result in immediate termination.

Special Considerations. All Corporation-requested staff member treatment and counseling will require, at a minimum, that the staff member immediately cease any alcohol and/or drug use/abuse and that the staff member be subject to periodic unannounced testing for an indefinite period following enrollment in the program. Undergoing treatment or counseling for the first time will normally not jeopardize a staff member's employment. However, the Corporation is required in certain situations to report a staff member's involvement with drug use or controlled substance abuse to Government agencies concerned with national security, health, and safety. In these situations, the Corporation may be required to prohibit the staff member from driving a Corporation vehicle. If other work cannot be found, the staff member's employment will be terminated.
