SAP (Substance Abuse Professional): Providing CDL/DOT Substance Use Disorder Evaluations for Drivers with Positive Drug Tests

SAP, an accredited organization, offers comprehensive substance use disorder evaluations for commercial driver’s license (CDL) drivers who have tested positive for drugs. With a focus on ensuring safety and compliance within the transportation industry, SAP is equipped to provide the necessary assessments and support for drivers seeking to regain their CDL privileges. This document outlines the process for CDL drivers to avail themselves of SAP services and the associated costs.

Identifying Jameson Mayberry as Your SAP Provider.

To initiate the evaluation process, CDL drivers must register on the Clearinghouse website administered by the Office of Drug and Alcohol Policy and Compliance (ODAPC), accessible at www.transportation.gov/odapc. Registering and designating Jameson Mayberry as your SAP provider ensures seamless coordination and effective communication throughout the evaluation process.

Scheduling the Evaluation

After registering on the Clearinghouse website and selecting Jameson Mayberry as your SAP provider, it is essential to contact our office to schedule an evaluation. Our professional and dedicated staff will assist you in finding a convenient appointment time. By proactively scheduling the evaluation, you take a crucial step towards addressing the substance use disorder issue and reinstating your CDL privileges.

The Evaluation Process

During the evaluation, our experienced SAP team will thoroughly assess your substance use disorder. This evaluation involves comprehensive discussions, relevant questionnaires, and an in-depth analysis of your specific circumstances. By delving into the underlying causes and identifying potential treatment options, we strive to provide a holistic understanding of your situation and help you develop an appropriate recovery plan.

Cost of SAP Services

SAP services entail a cost of $500.00, which covers both the assessment and exit sessions. The fee structure is designed to support the provision of high-quality evaluations and ensures that you receive the necessary guidance and assistance throughout the evaluation process. We accept various payment methods and will provide you with detailed information during the scheduling process.

Assessment and Exit Sessions

Within the SAP services, two essential components are the assessment and exit sessions. The assessment session involves an in-depth evaluation of your substance use disorder, considering relevant factors such as personal history, drug test results, and any previous treatment attempts. Through this comprehensive assessment, we aim to gain a thorough understanding of your situation, which will help us guide you effectively toward a successful recovery.

Following the completion of the assessment, exit sessions are conducted. During these sessions, we provide you with valuable insights, recommendations, and resources to support your recovery journey. The exit sessions serve as a crucial platform for outlining an individualized plan of action and discussing any necessary follow-up steps to regain your CDL privileges.
