Failed DOT Test?
DOT testing in the DOT world is serious business, and failing or refusing to take a DOT test while working for a company under the department of transportation (DOT) can cause serious problems. If you fail a DOT test, you must be removed from your safety-sensitive position as mandated by the United States Department of Transportation (DOT).
There is still an opportunity for workers in this position to return to their position if they can get evaluated by a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) and complete all education or treatment requirements.
Once all of this is complete, the worker must be sent to complete a return to duty DOT test by their current or prospective employer with negative results.

I honestly didn’t believe I would be able to drive again until I found this program. Staff explained everything and detailed every RTD step before I signed up. I was skeptical about it but I decided to move forward with the program. I completed my assessment the same day and the next day , I started my treatment and 10 days later, I got my return to duty letter. Now I’m able to take care of my family again thanks to his staff. Thank you for all you do.
