THE DOT SAP EVALUATION PROCESS
A DOT SAP evaluation is the initial step in the DOT return-to-duty process after an individual’s non-compliance with a DOT drug or alcohol test. We understand the urgency of your return to work within the DOT return to duty process, which is why we prioritize prompt appointment scheduling for DOT SAP evaluations.
Step 1
Comprehensive Assessment
The first phase involves the employee completing a comprehensive face-to-face clinical assessment with the SAP Evaluator. This assessment can take place in person, over Zoom, or via FaceTime.
Step 2
Treatment Recommendations
Following the assessment, the SAP Evaluator makes recommendations for treatment and/or educational courses for the DOT employee.
Step 3
Education/Treatment Completion
The employee proceeds to complete the recommended education and/or treatment program.
Step 4
Follow-Up Evaluation
Upon finishing the education and/or treatment program, the SAP Evaluator conducts a face-to-face follow-up evaluation. This evaluation can be in person, over Zoom, or via FaceTime. Its purpose is to determine if the employee is in compliance with the initial evaluation and the recommended treatment and/or course of education.
Step 5
Notice of Compliance
If everything progresses successfully, and the employee successfully completes the education and/or treatment program, they will receive a notice of compliance. This notice allows them to return to work.
