DOT SAP Program

Substance Abuse Professional (SAP)

Our SAP Program is customized for each person going through it and the process can be split into two major sections including the time spent on the return-to-duty process and the time to finish the follow-up testing program.

SAP stands for Substance Abuse Professional, which is a certified professional, or doctor, who has been specifically trained in the drug testing policies and procedures of the DOT.
