For employees in safety-sensitive positions regulated by the Department of Transportation (DOT), understanding the SAP process timeline is essential to returning to work after a drug or alcohol violation.

So, how long does the SAP process for DOT take?

The length of the DOT SAP Program varies based on the individual’s progress and treatment plan. While some may complete it in as little as 30 days, others may require up to 90 days or more, depending on:

The SAP's initial evaluation and recommendations

Compliance with treatment or education programs

Scheduling of the Return-to-Duty test

Follow-up evaluation outcomes

“The faster a client complies with treatment and scheduling, the quicker they can return to safety-sensitive duties,” says a certified SAP counselor from AACS Counseling. “We help streamline the process by offering same-day SAP evaluations and guiding clients every step of the way.”
