DOT Substance Abuse Professional Locator

Have you recently failed or refused to take a DOT-mandated drug and/or alcohol test? If so, you need to find a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) and start the return-to-duty process. Federal law requires completion before you can be granted approval to resume your safety-sensitive duties. It is in your best interest to quickly find a SAP and complete their recommended course of treatment. Using a DOT Substance Abuse Professional locator like SAP Referral Services speeds up the process. However, before doing so it is important to realize that not just any SAP will do.

What to Look for in a DOT Qualified SAP

To be eligible to return to work, you must complete a treatment plan assigned by your SAP. After finishing your treatment and/or educational requirements, you meet with your SAP one more time and they evaluate your compliance. If they feel you successfully followed the treatment plan the SAP approves you for a return-to-duty test. However, not every SAP can help with this process. If your SAP is not currently DOT qualified, the work you did toward your return-to-duty process will not be valid. In fact, you must find a DOT-qualified SAP and start all over again.

To become a DOT-qualified SAP, the Department of Transportation mandates that the provider hold the proper credentials as a physician, certified social worker, psychologist, licensed family or marriage therapist, a certified employee assistance professional, or be a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor with an international certification. In addition to these credentials, the SAP professional must successfully complete a DOT-qualified training program, complete and pass the written examination, and accrue 12 hours of continuing education every three years.
