What is a SAP Program?
A SAP program is a mandatory process for truck drivers who have violated DOT drug and alcohol regulations. This program ensures you get the education and treatment needed to tackle substance abuse issues so you can return to your safety-sensitive duties. The program includes an initial evaluation, a treatment plan, follow-up assessments, and a return to duty test.
Why Enroll in a SAP Program?
Failing a DOT drug or alcohol test can feel like hitting a dead end, but enrolling in a SAP program offers several benefits:
Restores Your Ability to Work: Completing the SAP program is the only way to regain your eligibility to perform safety-sensitive functions.
Ensures Safety: The program provides the necessary education and treatment to address substance abuse issues, ensuring your safe return to work.
Compliance with Regulations: The DOT requires all drivers who fail a drug or alcohol test to complete a SAP program before returning to duty.
The DOT SAP Process for Truck Drivers
The DOT SAP process is structured and involves several key steps:
1. Initial Evaluation: An assessment with a qualified SAP to determine the extent of the substance abuse issue and the appropriate level of treatment required.
2. Education and Treatment: Based on the initial evaluation, the SAP will recommend a course of education and treatment.
3. Follow-Up Evaluation: After completing the recommended treatment, a follow-up evaluation ensures that you have adequately addressed your substance abuse issues.
4. Return-to-Duty Test: Once deemed fit to return to duty, you must pass a return-to-duty drug and/or alcohol test conducted under direct observation. This test is a crucial step in the process, and we’ll guide you through it to ensure your successful return to work.
5. Follow-Up Testing: After returning to work, you’ll have follow-up testing for one to five years to ensure ongoing compliance and prevent relapse.

We understand that time is of the essence, and our goal is to help you get back on the Road as quickly as possible. Here’s how our same dayassessment process works:

The Importance of Compliance
Compliance with DOT regulations is crucial for maintaining your CDL and your career. Here are some key points to remember:
Pre-Employment Testing: You must pass a drug test before receiving a commercial vehicle permit.
Random Testing: You may be subject to unannounced random drug and alcohol tests at any time.
Post-Accident Testing: If you are involved in an accident, you will be required to undergo testing.
Reasonable Suspicion Testing: If a supervisor suspects drug or alcohol use based on specific observations, you may be directed to take a test.
Return to Duty and Follow-Up Testing: After completing the SAP program, you must pass a return to duty test and undergo follow-up testing as prescribed by the SAP.
