Compliance Monitoring
Pegasus monitoring programs are tailored to adhere to individual requirements and recommendations, and are founded in accountability, support, and respect.
Research indicates that implementing post-treatment compliance monitoring improves outcomes for individuals affected by a substance use disorder. Strict adherence to a comprehensive monitoring agreement helps to ensure the employer that workplace health and safety standards are met, while also supporting the individual in achieving long-term abstinence and recovery from substance use disorder.
Monitoring Processes and Protocols
Monitoring agreements are generally a minimum of two years in duration, and are formulated based on the recommendations of an Addictions Medicine Specialist physician following a comprehensive medical evaluation of the individual. Fundamentals of monitoring include random Chain of Custody laboratory testing and accountability check-in sessions with an trained monitor to ensure that the participant is in compliance with all terms of their agreement.
Pegasus utilizes several different laboratories in order to offer testing for a vast array of illicit and pharmaceutical substances. The result of every Chain of Custody laboratory test is reviewed by Medical Review Officer before being released, and every positive result is reported immediately to the employer and designated recipients. Our DOT-certified specimen collectors provide in-house Chain of Custody testing at our Victoria BC offices so that truly random biological testing can be performed on any day of the year, including weekends and holidays.
Due to our range of advanced testing services and network of long-term industry partnerships, Pegasus is able to offer monitoring services throughout all of Canada, including remote communities.
