DOT SAP Services

The Department of Transportation (DOT) regulation (49 CFR Part 40) defines the Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) as a person who evaluates employees who have violated a DOT drug and alcohol regulation and makes recommendations concerning education, treatment, follow-up testing, and aftercare.

Our current SAP staff includes a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist.

If you or someone you know needs a DOT-SAP Assessment, please contact ARJ at (504)-324-5648.

HOW THE DOT-SAP PROCESS WORKS
