Do You Need a DOT Substance Abuse Professional?

The Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991 was passed to ensure that transportation employees maintain a safe drug and alcohol-free environment for themselves, their co-workers, and the traveling public. Workers who are subject to random drug and alcohol testing, post-accident testing, reasonable cause/suspicion testing, and return-to-duty and follow-up testing include school bus drivers as well as those working in mass transit, and the pipeline industry. As a DOT-mandated safety-sensitive employee, you must find a SAP (Substance Abuse Professional) if you fail or refuse any alcohol or drug tests. SAP Referral Services works with you to find a DOT Substance Abuse Professional quickly.

How We Help You Locate a SAP

Since 2003 we have helped 25,000+ employees in the return-to-duty process. Our FastTrack Enrollment offers quick access to DOT-qualified SAPs in over 3,000 locations nationwide. Signing up takes just a few minutes and typically we can connect you with a SAP within 72 hours. Enrollment includes two face-to-face substance abuse evaluations with a DOT qualified SAP, recommendations for education or treatment and two SAP reports. Additionally, once you have complied with the return-to-duty program you receive a recommendation for submitting to a return-to-duty test.
