If you're a CDL driver or safety-sensitive employee in North Carolina who needs a DOT SAP evaluation, I want you to know this: you don’t have to go through this process alone—or with someone who doesn’t understand what you’re facing.
At Three Corners Counseling, I now officially offer DOT-compliant SAP evaluations with both professional expertise and real-world experience. As a master’s-level addiction counselor (LCAS) and someone who’s personally walked the long road of addiction and recovery, I bring something different to the table, compassion grounded in clinical knowledge, and empathy rooted in lived experience.
What is a DOT SAP Evaluation?
A DOT SAP evaluation is required when a CDL driver or other safety-sensitive employee fails a drug or alcohol test. It’s not just a formality; it's a federally regulated process designed to ensure that drivers are safe to return to work after a substance-related violation.
As your SAP, I:
Conduct the initial evaluation
Recommend education or treatment
Maintain communication with your employer, MRO, and referral providers
Provide a follow-up evaluation
Help you complete the return-to-duty process
This is about more than compliance—it's about supporting your ability to move forward, regain trust, and return to work with confidence.
Clinical Expertise Meets Real-Life Understanding
My background includes:
A master’s degree in addiction counseling
Full LCAS licensure in North Carolina
Experience working in multiple addiction treatment settings
Lived experience with substance use and recovery, which deeply informs how I approach my work today
I know firsthand how overwhelming and discouraging it can feel to face a failed drug test. But I also know how powerful the right support can be. I approach every SAP evaluation without judgment and with the goal of making this process as straightforward, respectful, and helpful as possible.
