The SAP Process

1

Intial
Assessment

The SAP conducts a face to face assessment with the employee over Zoom. This Virtual meeting allows the SAP to gather detailed information about the employee’s substance abuse history, evaluate any related issues, and assess their readiness and ability to return to safety-sensitive duties.

2

Recomend a Required Plan of Treatment and/or Education

Based on assessment findings, the SAP recomends a personalized plan of treatment and/or education for the employee. This plan is designed to address the employee’s substance abuse issues effectively and to meet DOT regulatory requirements for return to duty.

3

Send a Report to Your Employer about the Recomendation

The SAP provides a detailed report to the employer outlining the recomended plan of treatment and/or education. This report includes specific requirements and goals for the employee’s return-to-duty process, ensuring transparency and compliance with DOT regulations

4

Follow up
Meeting

Throughout the treatment plan, the SAP monitors the employee’s progress. This includes conducting follow-up evaluations to verify completion of the recomended program and assessing its effectiveness. The face-to-face follow-up evaluation ensures that the employee has successfully completed the requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

The SAP (Substance Abuse Professional) Program is a central component of the Department of Transportation's (DOT) drug and alcohol policy. It involves an evaluation, treatment, and follow-up process for employees who have violated DOT drug and alcohol regulations.
The length of the SAP program depends on each individual’s situation. Factors such as the severity of the violation and the recommended treatment or education—determined by the Substance Abuse Professional (SAP)—will influence how long the process takes.
At SOS, we provide a competitive fee of $275 for the initial DOT SAP evaluation and $100 for the follow up (once you have completed your recommendations) We take pride in our ability to offer competitive rates while maintaining our position as an industry leader in Oklahoma, all without compromising the value we deliver to you, as evidenced by our proven track record. Unlike other competitors, with us, there are no hidden fees.
Our DOT SAP services have the option of being conducted online. If you want to do services virtually, you'll receive a Zoom video meeting link for your appointment, accessible with a simple click at the designated time. Please make sure your device, whether it's a phone, tablet, or computer, has a functional microphone & camera.
In a DOT SAP evaluation, individuals will engage with a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) to review their substance abuse background, receive treatment suggestions and collaboratively devise a relapse prevention plan that allows the individual to safely resume safety-sensitive duties. Following the assessment, the SAP will furnish a comprehensive report outlining recommendations for the individual's Return to Work
The DOT Clearinghouse is a secure online database required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). It tracks drug and alcohol violations for commercial driver’s license (CDL) holders across the U.S. If you drive in Oklahoma and fail a DOT drug or alcohol test, your status is reported here—and you won’t be eligible to drive until you complete the Return-to-Duty process with a DOT-qualified SAP (Substance Abuse Professional).

Many providers found online may not be legally authorized to conduct assessments outside the states where they're licensed. To qualify as a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), individuals must hold one of the following credentials:

  • Licensed Physician (MD or DO)
  • Licensed/Certifed Psychologist
  • Licensed/Certifed Social Worker
  • Licensed/Certified Employee Assistance Professional
  • Licensed/Certifed Marriage and Family Therapist
  • Certifed Drug & Alcohol Counselor (NAADAC: NCAC-I, NCAC-II, MAC)
  • Certifed Drug & Alcohol Councelor (IC&RC: ICADC, ICAADC)
  • Certifed Councelor (NBCC: MAC)

These Credentials are issued by state-level boards, and a providers legal authority is tied to the state where they're licensed and physically located. If the client resides in a different state, the SAP must comply with both jurisdictions-often requiring licensure in the client's state as well. Before choosing a provider, always verify:

  • Their credentials and licensing body
  • License numbers and verification resources
  • Their ability to practice across state lines and via telehealth

If a provider struggles to explain or verify their credentials, it may signal a lack of understanding of their own licensure rules-raising serious concerns about their reliability. Transparency and accuracy in credentials are key indicators of a cometent and trustworthy SAP.
