If you’ve failed or refused a Department of Transportation (DOT) drug or alcohol test, the law requires that you complete a DOT SAP program before returning to any safety-sensitive position. AACS Counseling offers a convenient, fully virtual DOT SAP program that is compliant with all federal DOT regulations, making it easier than ever to get back to work—safely and quickly.
What Is the Virtual DOT SAP Program?
The Virtual DOT SAP Program is an online, telehealth-based solution that allows employees in safety-sensitive roles to fulfill DOT return-to-duty requirements from anywhere. This program includes:
- A comprehensive remote SAP evaluation
- Customized treatment or education recommendations
- A follow-up evaluation and return-to-duty authorization
- Compliance with DOT Clearinghouse and employer communication standards
With AACS Counseling, this entire process is handled by DOT-qualified Substance Abuse Professionals (SAPs) and is 100% virtual for your convenience.
Who Needs a DOT SAP Program?
DOT regulations (49 CFR Part 40) require any employee who has violated drug and alcohol testing rules to complete a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) program.
This includes drivers and workers regulated by:
- FMCSA (trucking and commercial drivers)
- FAA (aviation professionals)
- FRA (railroad workers)
- PHMSA (pipeline and hazardous materials)
- FTA (public transit)
- USCG (coast guard)
If you’re listed in the DOT Clearinghouse with a violation, you are not eligible for safety-sensitive work until a certified SAP clears you through a return-to-duty process.
