Substance Abuse Professionals for FMCSA Employees

The 1991 Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act states that DOT agencies, such as the FMCSA, must require mandated safety-sensitive employees to undergo drug and alcohol testing. Therefore, if a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) driver refuses or fails an alcohol and/or drug test, they will no longer be allowed to perform safety-sensitive functions. To return to their job, the driver must successfully comply with a return-to-duty process recommended by a SAP (Substance Abuse Professional). Please read on to find out how to quickly locate DOT-qualified Substance Abuse Professionals in your area.

When You Need Substance Abuse Professionals

As mentioned above, if you test positive or refuse to take an alcohol and/or drug test, you are removed from your safety-sensitive duties. You may also lose your job; this decision will be at the discretion of your employer.

Everyone’s first step in the return-to-duty process is to locate a DOT-qualified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP). The SAP guides you toward recognizing and solving substance abuse issues. However, before you attempt to search for a SAP on your own or from a list provided to you, you must know one thing. If you start the return-to-duty process with a SAP who has let their DOT qualifications lapse, you must repeat the process.

So, at the time of your initial contact you are sure to work with a DOT-qualified SAP. Therefore, eliminating the risk of having to repeat the process.
