DOT Assessments in Morganton, NC

A DOT SAP evaluation is a required assessment for CDL drivers or safety-sensitive employees who have violated federal DOT drug or alcohol testing rules. It determines the education or treatment you must complete before becoming eligible to return to duty under FMCSA regulations.

Any CDL driver or DOT-regulated employee in Morganton or Burke County who has failed or refused a DOT drug or alcohol test must complete a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) program before resuming safety-sensitive work.

It depends on the motivation of the client. The process moves faster when you complete your recommended education or treatment promptly and stay in touch for follow-up appointments.
