About these listings

Failed or refused an FMCSA-regulated DOT drug or alcohol test? Search SAPs by state and meeting format, then call a provider or send one request.

Each listing shows where the SAP says they can evaluate drivers, whether they offer in-person or video evaluations, and other service information they provide. Credentials, availability and service details are self-reported. Verified and Premium are paid directory membership tiers; they do not mean DOT approval, qualification or endorsement.

  • 14 SAPs listed
  • 10 offer video evaluations
  • Directory search is free for drivers and employers

Download a SAP list to give your driver

After a DOT drug or alcohol violation, the employer must give the employee a list of SAPs that are readily available to the employee and acceptable to the employer, with names, addresses and phone numbers, at no charge to the employee under 49 CFR 40.287. This tool builds a list using the driver's state and meeting-format filters and includes listed SAPs with a direct phone number. Timing and language filters are for directory discovery and are not used to build the employer PDF.

The list is dated and shows the filters used. Directory profiles may contain only a member-stated city and state rather than the full address required by 49 CFR 40.287. Before giving the list to the employee, obtain any missing full address and confirm that each SAP is currently qualified, readily available and acceptable to your company. SAPs maintain their own profile information. Paid membership affects directory features and direct-contact visibility; it does not establish DOT qualification or approval.

What happens after a failed or refused DOT test

For FMCSA-regulated CDL drivers, these are the main return-to-duty steps and who handles them.

Read the complete return-to-duty guide
  1. 01
    Your employer

    You are removed from safety-sensitive work

    After a DOT drug or alcohol violation, you cannot perform DOT safety-sensitive functions. For FMCSA-regulated CDL drivers, the violation is reported to the Clearinghouse. You remain prohibited from safety-sensitive functions until the required SAP process is completed and a negative return-to-duty result is reported to the Clearinghouse.

    More about this step
  2. 02
    You

    Choose and designate a SAP

    Your employer must give you a list of SAPs that are readily available and acceptable to the employer. You can choose from that list or find a SAP through your own research. Contact the SAP first, then designate that SAP in the FMCSA Clearinghouse.

    More about this step
  3. 03
    Your SAP

    Initial evaluation

    The SAP evaluates you in person or, at the SAP's discretion, by live video when the SAP is not prohibited from doing so under the parameters of their State-issued license or other credential. A remote evaluation must provide real-time audio and video of sufficient quality and security to meet 49 CFR 40.291. The SAP recommends the education and/or treatment you must complete.

    More about this step
  4. 04
    You

    Complete the education or treatment

    Complete the SAP's recommendations. The SAP then conducts a follow-up evaluation and determines whether you have successfully complied.

    More about this step
  5. 05
    Employer or applicable C/TPA

    Return-to-duty test

    After the SAP determines that you have successfully complied, the responsible employer arranges the return-to-duty test if it intends to return you to safety-sensitive work. A return-to-duty drug test is directly observed and must be negative. A return-to-duty alcohol result must be below 0.02. For FMCSA drivers, the responsible employer or authorized C/TPA reports the qualifying result to the Clearinghouse.

    More about this step
  6. 06
    Your employer

    Follow-up testing

    If you return to safety-sensitive work, the SAP's plan must include at least six unannounced follow-up tests during your first 12 months of safety-sensitive duty. The SAP may require testing during up to another 48 months of safety-sensitive duty. The plan follows you to subsequent employers and through breaks in service.

    More about this step
If you do not have an employer, or are considering changing SAPs

No current or prospective employer? FMCSA says an eligible driver may register in the Clearinghouse as an owner-operator and designate a C/TPA for the limited purpose of completing the return-to-duty process. This does not guarantee employment or restore a CDL by itself.

Once a SAP has evaluated you, you must not seek a second SAP evaluation simply to obtain a different recommendation.

For employers after a DOT violation

  • Remove from safety-sensitive work

    Remove the driver from DOT safety-sensitive functions when required by the applicable DOT rules.

  • Provide a suitable SAP list

    Give each employee with a DOT drug or alcohol violation, including an applicant or new employee, a list of SAPs that are readily available and acceptable to you, with names, addresses and phone numbers, at no charge under 49 CFR 40.287. This duty is not avoided simply because you terminate the employee or decide not to hire the applicant. If you use a directory, confirm the SAP's qualifications and availability before giving the list to the employee.

  • Arrange the required testing

    If you decide to return the driver to safety-sensitive work, ensure the required return-to-duty test is completed and carry out the SAP's follow-up testing plan. Random testing does not replace required follow-up testing.

Questions to ask on the first call

  • What do the initial and follow-up evaluations cost, and what is included?
  • How soon can you see me, and do you offer in-person or video evaluations?
  • Can you evaluate me in my state under your license or other professional credential?
  • Are education or treatment costs separate from your fee?
  • Are you registered in the FMCSA Clearinghouse so I can designate you?

Request pricing from up to 4 SAPs
Can I choose my own SAP?
Yes. Your employer must give you a list of SAPs that are readily available and acceptable to the employer, but FMCSA drivers may choose a SAP from that list or through their own research. Contact the SAP first, then designate the SAP in the Clearinghouse. Once a SAP has evaluated you, you cannot seek a second SAP simply to obtain a different recommendation.
Can the SAP evaluation be done online?
Yes. At the SAP's discretion, a DOT SAP evaluation can be conducted remotely if 49 CFR 40.291 is met and the SAP is not prohibited from using the technology under the parameters of their State-issued license or other credential. The evaluation must use real-time audio and video of sufficient quality and security for the SAP to gather the information they would obtain in an in-person evaluation.
Does the SAP process end when I pass the return-to-duty test?
No. A qualifying return-to-duty result can remove the FMCSA safety-sensitive-work prohibition once it is properly reported, but the SAP's follow-up testing plan still applies. The plan must include at least six unannounced tests during the first 12 months of safety-sensitive duty and may require testing during up to another 48 months.
Do I need a SAP if I left the job after the violation?
Yes, if you want to complete the DOT return-to-duty process and resume DOT safety-sensitive work. Leaving the employer where the violation occurred does not remove the return-to-duty requirements.
What does the SAP report to the Clearinghouse?
For an FMCSA-regulated driver, the designated SAP reports the date of the initial SAP assessment and the date the SAP determines the driver is eligible for return-to-duty testing. The SAP does not enter treatment details or the follow-up testing plan into the Clearinghouse. The responsible employer or authorized C/TPA reports the qualifying return-to-duty result and, later, completion of the follow-up testing plan.
Can a SAP return my CDL to active status?
No. The SAP determines whether you have successfully complied with the required education or treatment and are eligible for return-to-duty testing. The SAP does not reinstate a CDL or guarantee employment. For FMCSA drivers, the qualifying return-to-duty result must be reported to the Clearinghouse by the responsible employer or authorized C/TPA before the driver's Clearinghouse status can change from prohibited to not prohibited.
What does a Substance Abuse Professional do?

A Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) evaluates an employee after a DOT drug or alcohol violation and recommends education and/or treatment. The SAP later conducts a follow-up evaluation to determine whether the employee has successfully complied with those recommendations. If the employer decides to return the employee to safety-sensitive work, the employer must ensure the required return-to-duty test is completed. The SAP does not decide whether the employer gives the employee a job or returns the employee to safety-sensitive duty.

Is a SAP assessment the same as alcohol or drug counseling?

Not necessarily. A DOT SAP evaluation is part of the Part 40 process after a DOT drug or alcohol violation. A general alcohol assessment, drug assessment or counseling appointment does not replace that process. The SAP determines what education and/or treatment to recommend and later evaluates whether the employee has successfully complied with those recommendations.

How do I check whether a SAP counselor is DOT-qualified?

A counseling license by itself does not establish DOT SAP qualification. A SAP must meet the credential, knowledge, qualification training, examination and continuing education requirements in 49 CFR 40.281. Employers and C/TPAs using or considering a SAP may request documentation showing that the SAP currently meets those requirements. Credentials and service details shown in this directory are supplied by the providers and are not independently verified as DOT qualification by this directory.

Official DOT and FMCSA sources

Are you a DOT-qualified SAP?

Verified and Premium are paid directory membership plans. Members can receive additional profile and contact features, including a direct phone number and eligibility for inclusion in employer list tools. Membership does not mean DOT approval or verification of SAP qualifications.
