Specialized Support for Meaningful Change
A DOT drug or alcohol violation can create uncertainty about your job, your commercial driving status, and what you are required to do next. Stephen Counseling Services provides structured DOT Substance Abuse Professional evaluations and clear guidance through the federally required return-to-duty process.
You’re Not Just a Case. You’re a Person.
The return-to-duty process is about more than paperwork, it can affect your livelihood, confidence, and sense of direction.
You will receive clear expectations, respectful guidance, and professional support throughout each stage of the process.
The Process Made Clear
Initial Evaluation
A confidential SAP evaluation to review the DOT violation, relevant substance-use history, current circumstances, and any other information needed to make an appropriate recommendation.
Education/ Treatment
Based on the evaluation, you will receive a recommendation for the education and/or treatment required to continue the return-to-duty process.
Follow-Up Evaluation
After completing the recommended services, you will return for a follow-up evaluation to determine whether you have successfully complied with the SAP recommendations.
Return-to-Duty
Required reports are completed and provided to the appropriate employer or designated representative.
Please note: The employer is responsible for arranging the return-to-duty test and deciding whether an employee returns to safety-sensitive duties.
