SAP Evaluations
Need a DOT SAP evaluation?
If you’ve been removed from safety-sensitive duties following a DOT drug or alcohol violation, you may be required to complete the Substance Abuse Professional process before becoming eligible to return to safety-sensitive work.
Michelle Dixon provides DOT Substance Abuse Professional evaluations through Pathways Mental Health.
