To qualify as a DOT-qualified SAP (Substance abuse professional), an individual must be a professional counselor, psychologist, or social worker. They must also complete a DOT-approved training program with at least 40 hours of instruction. The individual must also pass a written examination and an oral examination. After completing these requirements, the individual will be placed on a national registry of DOT-qualified SAPs.
Qualified DOT SAP play an essential role in the fight against SAP abuse in the United States. As part of their job, DOT Qualified Substance Abuse Professionals conduct assessments to determine whether an employee is fit for duty. They also develop and implement treatment plans, monitor employee progress, and provide support during recovery. In addition, DOT Qualified Substance Abuse Professionals collaborate with other members of the DOT team, including medical examiners and safety officials, to ensure that employees are safe and healthy.
Any CDL or safety-sensitive DOT position holder who tests positive on a DOT test or refuses to take a DOT test must enroll and complete the return-to-duty (RTD) process.
You will begin by participating in a face-to-face clinical SAP evaluation by a DOT-qualified SAPs (Substance Abuse Professional).
