The DOT Return to Duty Process

A SAP evaluation is the first step in the return-to-duty process after failing a DOT drug or alcohol test. 

At Diversion Center, we understand how important it is that you get back to work ASAP. 

That’s why we try to schedule appointments within 24 hours of hearing from you.

STEP 1

The employee completes a comprehensive face-to-face clinical assessment with the SAP Evaluator.

STEP 2

The SAP Evaluator makes recommendations of treatment and/or course of education for the DOT employee.

STEP 3

The employee finishes their education and/or treatment program.

STEP 4

The SAP Evaluator provides a face-to-face follow up evaluation to determine if employee is in compliance with the initial evaluation and recommended treatment and/or course of education.

STEP 5

If everything goes well and the employee completes the education and/or treatment program, they will be given a notice of compliance to return back to work.
