An SAP evaluation for substance abuse usually takes place in a professional setting, such as a doctor’s office, and can last for up to an hour. The individual being evaluated will be asked questions about their substance use history, as well as their mental and physical health. The evaluation will also include a urine or blood test to check for the presence of drugs or alcohol.

The DOT (Department of Transportation) demands that all DOT drivers be evaluated for substance abuse before they can be licensed. The evaluation must be conducted by a DOT-certified professional, such as a doctor, counselor, or social worker.

The DOT evaluation consists of a written test, which covers the driver’s knowledge of substance abuse and its consequences, and a clinical evaluation, which assesses the driver’s risk for substance abuse. The clinical evaluation includes an interview and a review of the driver’s medical and employment history. The DOT-certified professional will also administer a urine or blood test to check for the presence of drugs or alcohol.

If the DOT-certified professional finds that the driver is at risk for substance abuse, the driver may be referred for treatment. Treatment may include individual counseling, group counseling, and/or medication. The goal of DOT treatment is to help the driver overcome their substance abuse problem and maintain sobriety.

SAP is the user in the Clearinghouse who is also required to register himself on the clearinghouse. As soon as the driver is found positive he must register on the FMCSA Clearinghouse and contact SAP professional. The list of the qualified DOT SAPs may be provided by your employer so that you can fix your appointment as soon as to complete the return-to-duty process. So, if you are ready to schedule a DOT SAP Evaluation, contact Sapevaluation.org today to arrange a free, no-obligation consultation with us.
