DOT Substance Abuse Professional
DOT Substance Abuse Professional
SAP PROGRAM OVERVIEW
A qualified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) is required to evaluate DOT safety-sensitive employees who violate DOT drug and alcohol regulations. The SAP assesses the employee’s circumstances and recommends the appropriate education and/or treatment to help determine when the employee is eligible to return to safety-sensitive duties. This process is a required part of returning to work and supports both DOT compliance and the employee’s recovery. Our SAP services are available nationwide.
When you choose Optumus Wellness for your SAP services, you will be enrolled in our SAP Program. We look forward to supporting you through each step of the Return-to-Duty process.
As part of the SAP Program, you will complete 4 of the 6 steps in the Return-to-Duty process with the SAP. After that, the SAP will determine whether you are eligible to move forward to Step 5.
Step 5 is the Return-to-Duty drug and/or alcohol test. This test must be completed before the safety-sensitive employee can be cleared from prohibited status. Depending on the DOT mode, Step 5 must be coordinated by the employer or a Third-Party Administrator (TPA). For more details, please visit our “Employer page.”
