What is a DOT SAP Evaluation?
A SAP (Substance Abuse Professional) evaluation is a federally mandated assessment required under 49 CFR Part 40 for any DOT-regulated employee who has violated federal drug and alcohol testing rules. This includes positive test results, test refusals, and other testing violations.
The evaluation must be performed by a qualified SAP who assesses your situation, recommends appropriate education or treatment, and upon completion, provides the documentation required for return-to-duty testing. Each DOT agency has specific requirements beyond the core process.
