Failing a DOT drug or alcohol test doesn’t end your career, but choosing the wrong SAP can delay your return to work! Not all substance abuse counselors are qualified DOT SAPs and choosing the wrong provider can cost you time, money, and compliance.
Evaluations completed by unqualified providers are NOT compliant and you will be required to repeat the process and pay again.
“Wow I just had the best Customer Service experience ever with an ASAP Advisor. She had a calming voice and listened while I explained my situation and truly felt she cared about my circumstances.”

Frequently Asked Questions
ASAP handles evaluations for failed drug and/or alcohol test, refused the test, or have drug/alcohol violation according to DOT, NRC or company policy.
All DOT regulated safety-sensitive employees/candidates employed in the aviation, railroad, public transit, trucking, maritime, and pipeline industries who have violated federal DOT drug and alcohol testing rules with a positive test result, a refusal to test or other violation.
If you fall under Federal Aviation (FAA), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) or the United States Coast Guard (USCG) and you failed or refused a DOT drug and/or alcohol test you must still complete the return-to-duty process in order to return to safety-sensitive duty.
The honest answer is the time it takes to complete the SAP portion of the DOT return-to-duty process varies per case. The SAP will make a clinical assessment and recommend treatment and/or education based on your individual needs. Note: The SAP must make a recommendation for some level of care per DOT CFR 49 Part 40, Subpart O and is required to refer their recommendations outside of their office. Beware if a SAP gives you an exact timeline on when you can complete the RTD process and recommendations before you start the process.
Violation records for CDL drivers stay on the Clearinghouse site for five years after successful completion of the entire DOT return-to-duty (RTD) process, including the RTD test and follow-up testing plan. Until that point the record will stay on the Clearinghouse indefinitely.
Yes. Once you have violated the Department of Transportation (DOT) drug and alcohol testing regulations, you are considered ineligible to perform safety-sensitive duties for any employer until you have completed the return-to-duty process.
