SAP Program

At CLEARPATH, we connect you with qualified Substance Abuse Professionals (SAPs). DOT requires evaluation, which assesses employees after a drug or alcohol violation and guides them through the Return-to-Duty process. Our SAPs conduct evaluations, provide required recommendations, and help ensure compliance from start to finish. We serve clients nationwide and offer flexible payment plans to make getting started easier.

Substance Abuse Professionals

If you are a DOT safety-sensitive worker who has violated drug and alcohol regulations, DOT requires you to complete the SAP process before returning to duty. 

The SAP ensures you meet the DOT Return to Duty standards by:

  1. Conducting your initial evaluation
     

  2. Recommending treatment or education
     

  3. Monitoring your progress and compliance
     

  4. Completing a follow-up evaluation

  5. Return-to-Duty Drug and/or Alcohol Test

  6. Follow-Up Testing Plan

 CLEARPATH makes it simple to begin the process. With our referral network, you’ll be connected to a qualified SAP who will provide:

  • Compliant with DOT regulations

  • Supportive and confidential process

  • Step-by-step guidance until you’re cleared

FAQ: DOT Return-to-Duty Process

  • Employers must remove the employee from safety-sensitive functions after verified positive drug results, certain alcohol results, or other violations and must not return them until the RTD process is successfully completed.

  • The RTD process is the required pathway a DOT-regulated safety-sensitive employee must complete after a DOT drug/alcohol violation before they can return to safety-sensitive duties.

  • You cannot perform safety-sensitive duties until you successfully complete the RTD process. Your employer may decide whether you can work in a non-safety-sensitive role (that’s an employer decision).

  • If the employer permits the employee to return, the employee must take an RTD test after the SAP determines successful compliance. The employee must have a negative drug test and/or an alcohol test result below 0.02 before resuming safety-sensitive duties.

  • Yes. The follow-up testing requirement follows the employee, and a subsequent employer is responsible for ensuring completion during the follow-up period.
