What is a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP)?

​

A Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) plays a critical role in ensuring workplace safety within the transportation industry, especially concerning drivers who have safety-sensitive duties. SAPs are specialists trained to evaluate and recommend appropriate treatment, education, follow-up tests, and aftercare for employees who have violated a Department of Transportation (DOT) drug and alcohol program regulation.

​

Why Are SAP Services Important for DOT Drivers?

For drivers with safety-sensitive responsibilities, indulging in substance abuse not only poses a risk to their well-being but also endangers public safety. The DOT has stringent regulations to prevent such dangers and ensures that every driver resumes their duty only after a complete evaluation from a SAP.

​

How SAPs Help You

• Assessment: SAPs conduct thorough assessments to determine the nature and extent of an employee's substance use and any necessary treatment and education.

• Recommendation: Following the assessment, SAPs recommend a course of action, which may include treatment and/or education tailored to help the employee address their substance use issues.

• Follow-Up: SAPs facilitate a follow-up program including unannounced testing to ensure the employee maintains compliance with DOT regulations.

• Support: SAPs provide support and guidance to both employees and employers throughout the process to achieve a successful return-to-duty.
