The Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) is a person who evaluates employees who have violated a DOT drug and alcohol program regulation and makes recommendations concerning education, treatment, follow-up testing, and aftercare. Employers who refer employees with a DOT violation to SAP Services will remain in DOT compliance.

The SAP will conduct a face-to-face clinical assessment, then refer the individual to education and/or treatment. The SAP monitors the case, and conducts a return-to-duty assessment, as well as provides a follow-up testing schedule. (read more about SAPs)
