DOT SAP Assessment

A Substance Abuse Professional is a certified professional who evaluates and makes recommendations on employees who have violated a Department of Transportation (DOT) drug and alcohol program regulation. The recommendations often include education, treatment, follow-up testing, and aftercare. Guidance Teletherapy has providers regularly providing DOT SAP Assessments to truck drivers, pilots, heavy equipment operators, pipeline, and HAZMAT workers. These assessments determine what an employee needs to resolve alcohol or drug-related problems. These assessments typically include standardized testing, collection of information regarding the history and current drug/alcohol use, mental health history, family history, social and physical health, and sometimes random drug/alcohol testing. Federal regulations temporarily permit DOT/SAP evaluations to be completed by HIPAA-compliant synchronous videoconference software (through December 31, 2022, due to the COVID-19 health crisis).
