1997
When it became apparent that EAPs could not serve multiple clients, employers, employees and public safety without risking ethical conflicts and regulatory violations, American Substance Abuse Professionals (ASAP) incorporated as a separate entity, privately held by Dr. Reed Morrison. ASAP assumed its own offices and staff and became the nation’s first free-standing Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) Company that was wholly dedicated to DOT compliance services and the drug-free workplace mission. ASAP has always been owned and operated by qualified, practicing SAPs.
1973- 1997
ASAP roots extend to 1973 when ASAP founder, Dr. Reed Morrison, launched The Janus Center, an innovative publically funded drug treatment program in Baltimore, Maryland. The Janus Center entered the provider sector in 1984 as a regional employee assistance program (EAP), renamed Janus Associates. The 1991 passage of the Omnibus Transportation Employee Drug Testing Act mandated testing for covered transportation employees. Then, in 1995, the Department of Transportation (DOT) implemented 49 CFR Part 40, Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs. It required covered employers to comply with a comprehensive and complex set of mandatory testing regulations and created a new target client, public safety.
