What Is the DOT SAP Program?
The DOT SAP program is a federally required process for safety-sensitive workers who fail or refuse a DOT drug or alcohol test. It helps protect you, your team, and the public by ensuring safety on our roads, rails, waterways, and in the air.
This is your opportunity to show that you're serious about returning to duty the right way.
A qualified Substance Abuse Professional evaluates your situation and determines the appropriate education or treatment plan needed before you can return to work legally.
At Return to Duty SAP, we offer a fully online DOT SAP program, so you can complete everything from wherever you are—even right here in Lebanon County. Our process follows federal regulations outlined in 49 CFR Part 40. This makes sure that every step is fully compliant and confidential.

How the DOT SAP Program Works (Step-by-Step)
Now that you understand what the DOT SAP program is and why it matters, you’re probably wondering: What happens next?
How do I enroll? What’s the process? What’s expected of me at each step?

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown, so you know exactly what to expect—and how we’ll support you throughout your Return to Duty journey.
Step 1: Book Your Initial Evaluation – $550 Flat Rate
Schedule your appointment online at a time that works for you. The fee is $550, which includes the full DOT-mandated SAP assessment process. Flexible payment options are available at the time of booking.
After You Book:
- You’ll receive a confirmation email with your appointment details.
- That email includes secure links to your intake and consent forms.
- You’ll also get simple tips to help you prepare for your virtual session.
Step 2: Complete DOT‑Required Education or Treatment
During your first virtual session, a DOT-qualified SAP will assess your situation in accordance with 49 CFR Part 40. Based on that, they’ll recommend the appropriate education, counseling, or treatment.
Most programs can be completed online. If in-person services are required, your SAP can point you in the direction of trusted options near Lebanon County, PA, to help you stay on track.
Step 3: Schedule Your Follow‑Up Evaluation
Once you’ve completed your assigned program, you’ll schedule a follow-up session. Your SAP will review your progress and determine if you’re eligible to return to duty.
Step 4: Return to Duty & Ongoing Compliance
After your SAP confirms completion, they’ll update your record in the FMCSA Clearinghouse. Your employer can then order a return-to-duty drug test.

A negative result clears the way to resume safety-sensitive work. From there, you’ll follow any required unannounced testing plan to remain in compliance.
