Finding a DOT SAP Near Me

The frightening prospect of failing a drug and/or alcohol test may make refusing the test seem like the best option. Unfortunately, if you are a DOT mandated safety-sensitive employee, the system just won’t allow it. Safety sensitive employees must comply with random drug and/or alcohol testing and refusing to be tested is treated the same as a failure. Should you fail or refuse testing, you are immediately removed from your job. However, this removal does not spell the end of your career. The DOT requires employees enroll in a return-to-duty program lead by a qualified SAP. Fortunately, if you are asking, “How do I find a DOT SAP near me?” the process has never been easier.

What is the SAP Process?

The Department of Transportation (DOT) agencies include the FAA, FMCSA, FRA, FTA, USCG and PHMSA. Each agency maintains specific regulations to ensure that their safety-sensitive employees are drug- and alcohol-free. When a drug and/or alcohol test is failed, mandatory requirements must be followed before one is allowed to return to work.

This is where the SAP process comes in. A Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) performs an evaluation and may recommend courses, counseling and/or treatment to help with substance abuse. Successfully complying with SAP recommendations, follow-up evaluations and testing negative for drugs and/or alcohol means you can return to service. You will be subject to follow-up testing at least six times during the next 12 months. And, prepare for random testing for up to five years.
