DOT Assessments in Chapel Hill, NC

When a CDL driver or safety-sensitive employee in Chapel Hill has a failed or refused DOT drug or alcohol test, federal law requires a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) evaluation before returning to work. I provide DOT SAP assessments that are affordable, confidential, and fully compliant with FMCSA and 49 CFR Part 40 regulations.

 

Chapel Hill’s diverse workforce, from university transit and public works drivers to those employed in local healthcare, construction, and delivery services, depends on qualified, safety-conscious professionals. Whether you’re a truck driver, bus operator, or DOT-regulated employee, I guide you through each step of the SAP process: the initial evaluation, education or treatment recommendation, follow-up assessment, Return-to-Duty testing, and the employer follow-up testing plan required for full compliance.

 

I offer secure telehealth appointments for drivers across Chapel Hill and surrounding Orange County communities, making it simple to complete your SAP process quickly and conveniently from home. My flat $400 rate keeps the program accessible, and most new clients are scheduled within 24–48 hours, helping you return to work without unnecessary delays.
