Step 1: SAP Evaluation

Get matched with a DOT-qualified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) who evaluates your situation and creates a personalized treatment or education plan.

After a DOT drug or alcohol violation, federal regulations require you to complete an evaluation with a qualified SAP before you can return to safety-sensitive work. The SAP will assess your situation, determine whether you need education, treatment, or both, and develop a plan tailored to your needs. Vertical Identity connects you with experienced, DOT-qualified SAPs who understand the urgency of getting you back on the road. The SAP evaluation is the critical first step — without it, you cannot legally proceed with return-to-duty testing.

Step 2: Complete Treatment & Education

Follow the SAP's recommended treatment or education program, then pass a follow-up SAP evaluation confirming you're ready to return to duty.

Once your SAP prescribes a treatment or education program, you must complete it in full before moving forward. This may include counseling sessions, substance abuse education courses, or a structured treatment program — depending on your evaluation results. After completing the program, you’ll return to your SAP for a follow-up evaluation. The SAP will determine whether you’ve successfully met the requirements and are eligible to proceed to the return-to-duty test. This step ensures you’re fully prepared and compliant with DOT/FMCSA regulations before testing.

Step 3: Pass Your Return-to-Duty Test

Take your DOT return-to-duty drug and/or alcohol test at one of 20,000+ locations. Pass with a verified negative result and get back on the road.

The final step is the return-to-duty test itself. DOT regulations require a directly observed drug test (DOT 5-panel) and/or an alcohol test with a result below 0.02 BAC. Vertical Identity schedules your test at one of 20,000+ SAMHSA-certified collection sites nationwide — often within 24 hours. Once you pass, your SAP will establish a follow-up testing schedule (minimum 6 tests in the first 12 months). We handle the scheduling, results reporting, and compliance documentation so you can focus on getting back to work. Drug test: $69 | Alcohol test: $59.

What's Included with Return-to-Duty Testing

SAP Referral & Coordination

We connect you with a DOT-qualified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) listed in the FMCSA Clearinghouse. Your SAP evaluates your situation, creates a personalized treatment or education plan, and coordinates with our team throughout the process. No need to search for a provider on your own — we handle the referral and scheduling so you can start the process immediately.

Directly Observed Drug & Alcohol Testing

All DOT return-to-duty drug tests are conducted under direct observation as required by 49 CFR Part 40. We schedule your test at one of 20,000+ SAMHSA-certified collection sites nationwide. Drug testing uses the standard DOT 5-panel urine test ($69), and alcohol testing uses an evidential breath testing device ($59). Results are reviewed by a licensed Medical Review Officer (MRO) and reported within 24–48 hours.

Follow-Up Testing Program

After you pass your return-to-duty test, the SAP prescribes a follow-up testing schedule — a minimum of 6 unannounced tests in the first 12 months, with the possibility of testing for up to 60 months. Vertical Identity manages your entire follow-up program including scheduling, notifications, results reporting, and FMCSA Clearinghouse updates so you stay compliant and on the road.
