Please call with any questions about the DOT/SAP process.

Free DOT/SAP phone consultation.


For Consideration When Choosing a DOT/SAP:

The US Dept. of Transportation requires specialized training for Substance Abuse Professionals (SAP) conducting DOT compliant substance evaluations for employees in safety sensitive duties. In addition to substance abuse certification, DOT/SAP’s must complete 12-hours of specialized training every three years and pass a national exam specific to DOT guidelines. Al Lyons meets or exceeds all Department of Transportation (DOT) criteria for Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) evaluations.

I will schedule most DOT/SAP evaluations within 24 hours. Sometimes on the same day as your call.  I will provide a written report with formal recommendations within 48 hours of the evaluation.

Evaluations at my office, your place of employment, or other Asheville location, if requested.
