DOT Assessments in Durham, NC

When a CDL driver or safety-sensitive employee in Durham 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.

 

Durham’s diverse economy, from healthcare and biotechnology to manufacturing, logistics, and education, depends on reliable, safety-conscious drivers and employees. Whether you’re a truck driver, bus operator, aviation worker, or construction employee, I guide you through every 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 work with drivers throughout Durham, Hillsborough, Chapel Hill, and surrounding communities through secure telehealth appointments. My flat $400 rate keeps the process accessible and transparent, and most new clients are scheduled within 24–48 hours, helping you return to work without unnecessary delays.
