Professional Expertise with a Personal Approach

We understand both the classroom and the practice environment and what it takes to apply professional knowledge effectively in real-world situations. We recognize that success looks different for every person. That is why our services are designed to meet people where they are, address their unique needs, and help them move confidently toward where they want to be.

- DOT Return-to-Duty
Your road back to safety-sensitive work starts here
A DOT drug or alcohol violation can affect your ability to perform safety-sensitive duties — but it does not have to be the end of your professional journey.
Initial SAP Evaluation
The SAP gathers relevant information, evaluates circumstances and substance use history, and determines appropriate education and/or treatment.
Education and/or Treatment
You complete the recommendations established by the SAP before proceeding to the follow-up evaluation.
SAP Follow-Up Evaluation
The SAP determines whether recommendations were successfully completed and whether you may become eligible for Return-to-Duty testing.
Required Reporting
Required information is reported to applicable employer representatives and the FMCSA Clearinghouse.
Return-to-Duty Test
The employer or designated C/TPA arranges the required test. SAP completion does not itself guarantee rehire or return to a position.
Follow-Up Testing
The SAP establishes an unannounced follow-up testing plan consistent with applicable DOT requirements.
