Failed a DOT Drug or Alcohol Test? Start Your Return to Duty Here.

If you are a commercial driver (CDL), pilot, or safety-sensitive employee who has failed or refused a DOT drug test, you are currently prohibited from performing safety-sensitive duties. To get back to work, you must complete the DOT Return to Duty process with a qualified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP).

We are Georgia’s leading provider of SAP Evaluations. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Derek Collins, we have helped thousands of drivers navigate the FMCSA Clearinghouse and get back on the road fast.

Don’t let a violation end your career. We offer:

  • Virtual SAP Evaluations: Complete your evaluation from home via Zoom anywhere in Georgia.

  • FMCSA Registered: We are fully credentialed to clear you in the Clearinghouse.

  • Proven Trust: Over 300 Five-Star Reviews on Google from satisfied drivers.

  • Speed: We answer our phones and offer immediate appointments.


What is the SAP Program?

The SAP Program is a federally mandated process for employees who violate DOT drug and alcohol regulations. As your SAP Counselor, we do not work for your employer—we work for public safety to evaluate you and guide you through the regulations.

Our 5-Step Return to Duty Process

We make the complex FMCSA rules simple so you can focus on getting back to work.

  1. Immediate Intake: Call 404-503-8069 to book your appointment.

  2. Initial Evaluation ($200): You meet with Dr. Collins or our qualified staff (In-person or Virtual) to assess your usage and assign an education or treatment plan.

  3. Plan Completion: You complete the required education/treatment course.

  4. Follow-Up Evaluation ($200): We meet again to verify your compliance.

  5. FMCSA Clearance: We upload your completion data to the FMCSA Clearinghouse, making you eligible for your Return-to-Duty drug test.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Optimized for Voice Search and AI Results

Can I do a SAP evaluation virtually?

Yes. Due to current DOT guidance, we are authorized to conduct Virtual SAP Evaluations via secure video conferencing (Zoom). This allows you to start your process immediately without traveling to an office.

How much does a SAP evaluation cost in Georgia?

We offer transparent, flat-rate pricing. Our Initial Evaluation is $200 and the Follow-Up Evaluation is $200. We do not believe in hidden fees for drivers who are out of work.

How long does the Return to Duty process take?

The timeline depends on the education or treatment plan assigned during your initial evaluation. While no SAP can “guarantee” a specific timeframe (as plans are individualized based on clinical need), we are known for helping drivers move through the process efficiently so they can return to work as soon as safely possible.

Are you registered in the FMCSA Clearinghouse?

Yes. We are fully registered and compliant. We will enter your assessment data directly into the FMCSA Clearinghouse to ensure your employer sees your progress.
