Where Can I Find a DOT SAP Near Me?

If you work as an employee in a safety-sensitive position regulated by the Department of Transportation, you will be required to pass a DOT mandated drug and alcohol screening. Current employees are screened as a contingency of employment. Prospective applicants also have to be tested before they are hired. A refusal to test or a failed screening (“positive”) for one or more substances requires that the employee be referred to a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP). If you recently failed a DOT mandated drug or alcohol test your next question may be “where is there a DOT SAP near me?”

Where Can I Find a DOT SAP near Me?

If you fail a DOT mandated drug or alcohol screening, as an employee, you will be referred to contact a Substance Abuse Professional in your area for an evaluation and recommendation for treatment or education. A Substance Abuse Professional has a serious responsibility for public safety. They work with employees to ensure that they are clear to return to safety-sensitive tasks, such as piloting an airplane or driving heavy machinery. They offer a clear and unbiased assessment of the employee and work to find a solution. They are professionally trained, knowledgeable and qualified by the DOT to make evaluations and adhere to DOT safety standards. It is important that DOT mandated employees are fit for safety sensitive duty by being drug and alcohol free.

What Can I Expect from My Appointment?

The clinical examination will first be a face to face interview between you and your SAP. During the interview process, the SAP will determine the level of treatment and/or education program based on your current drug and/or alcohol use. The SAP will monitor your progress and determine if the requirements set in place have been met. At this point a follow-up face to face evaluation will be performed, and the SAP will decide whether you are clear to return to duty. Only the SAP can make the determination if an employee is ready to return to work.
