Our Substance Abuse Professional is qualified and trained to complete evaluations for employees in safety sensitive positions regulated by the Department of Transportation (DOT). We are committed to providing SAP services in accordance with the Federal Department of Transportation guidelines. According to the U.S DOT, when testing positive or refusing to test, you are prohibited from performing any safety-sensitive duties under any DOT-regulated employer until you have seen a Substance Abuse Professional and completed the return-to-duty process. If you need help, our services are here for you.
The employees in the transportation industry who have safety-sensitive functions are responsible for providing a safe work environment not only for their co-workers but also for the millions of people who travel by various means throughout the nation. In order to ensure a safe work environment, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has established work rules, including rules on drug use and alcohol misuse. As defined by the DOT, a substance abuse professional is a person who evaluates employees who have violated drug and alcohol testing regulations to make recommendations for treatment, education, follow-up testing, and aftercare.
In order to be a SAP, you must have a license as a physician, social worker, psychologist, or have another type of license or certification as a therapist or counselor. Their duty is to make sure that the public is safe and that drivers who have gone through the return-to-duty process are able to return to their safety-sensitive positions.
Substance Abuse Evaluations are available for
FAA, FTA, PHSA, USCG, FMCSA & FRA

I can't say enough great things about the Diversion Center and their processes. I was so impressed with the scheduling staff. They were available via text, phone, and email. They asked questions so I could make sure I was getting the right assessment and were able to schedule same-day! They talked me through the process and then follow-up with me on the paperwork to let me know they received it. Derek Collins worked with me on my assessments. The very best thing is he was real. It didn't feel like talking to a robot or just someone going down a list of questions. He was honest and authentic. That made me feel like it was a safe space to be honest and authentic. He listened to me. It was the perfect mix of professional mixed with human compassion and understanding. I would recommend anyone seeking any assessment to reach out to the Diversion Center immediately.Posted on Google![]()

I have nothing but great things to say. My experience was painless. Follow the program as told and you will come out on the other side. Everyone deserves a second chance why not let them help. “Stay negative peopleâ€Posted on Google![]()

Derek was super easy to talk to and was very genuine. I had a lot of reservations about all of this because normally you get these people that don't understand the struggle and you just feel like you're being judged the whole time. But he really related to me and I appreciated what he had to say.
