Get answers to common questions about the DOT SAP process.
A DOT Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) evaluation is a mandatory assessment required by the Department of Transportation for safety-sensitive employees who have violated DOT drug and alcohol testing regulations. This evaluation is the first step in the return-to-duty process.
The timeline varies depending on individual circumstances, but with our streamlined approach, many clients complete the entire process in as little as 3-4 days. More complex cases may take longer depending on the treatment recommendations. We'll provide you with a clear timeline during your initial evaluation.
Yes, we offer virtual SAP evaluations that comply with all DOT regulations. This allows you to complete the assessment process from the comfort of your home or any location with internet access. Our virtual process is just as thorough and valid as in-person evaluations.
After successfully completing the process, you'll receive a Return-to-Duty report that clears you to resume safety-sensitive functions. Your employer will then typically require you to pass a Return-to-Duty drug/alcohol test before returning to work. You'll also need to complete a follow-up testing program as recommended by your SAP.
We understand financial concerns and offer flexible payment plans to make the process accessible. We can spread payments over time with no interest. We also help identify affordable treatment options that meet DOT requirements while considering your budget constraints.
The SAP process operates under strict confidentiality guidelines. However, for you to return to safety-sensitive duties, your employer will need to receive the SAP's Return-to-Duty report. The specific details of your evaluation and treatment remain confidential, with only the necessary compliance information shared with your employer.
The SAP process is designed to ensure public safety while helping you return to work. If you're not ready to complete the recommended treatment, the return-to-duty process will be delayed. However, we're here to support you whenever you're ready to move forward, and we can help you find treatment options that fit your schedule and circumstances.
