Substance Abuse Professional Role

A SAP assists individuals who fail drug or alcohol tests by guiding them through the Return to Duty process and ensuring they are cleared to return to DOT safety-sensitive work.

Return-to-Duty Process

  1. SAP Evaluation: The driver is assessed by a DOT-qualified SAP.

  2. Complete Treatment/Education: The driver completes the required program, with progress monitored by the SAP.

  3. Follow-Up Evaluation: The SAP evaluates the driver’s progress.

  4. RTD Test: The driver passes a Return to Duty test.

These steps ensure the driver can return to work in compliance with DOT regulations.

We know a drug or alcohol violation can feel overwhelming, but getting back to work is possible. A qualified SAP can guide you through the steps to regain your eligibility and restart your career. This process helps you move forward and ensures you're ready to return safely to your role. You’re not alone—take the first step today.

It serves as a readiness check, ensuring you're prepared for the RTD Drug Test and giving you confidence before the official screening. A Pre-Test Screening helps prevent delays, extra costs, and compliance issues, making the RTD process smoother and more successful.

For SAP Program:
