DOT SAP Education Program & Virtual Substance Abuse Intervention and Treatment

Virtual, Nationwide, Live, Counselor-Led SAP Education for Safety-Sensitive Employees

Behavioral Health Services of America (BHSA) provides nationwide virtual DOT SAP Education Programs, SAP classes, and Substance Abuse Awareness training for safety-sensitive employees regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). Our programs are led live by experienced counselors who specialize in working with individuals navigating the DOT SAP process and employers seeking compliant, high-quality education solutions.

If you have completed your initial DOT SAP assessment, the next step in the return-to-duty process may be a DOT SAP Education Program. BHSA delivers DOT-compliant education that satisfies SAP recommendations, supports behavioral change, and helps employees move forward safely and responsibly.

What Is the DOT SAP Education/Intervention Program?

The DOT SAP Education Program is the second phase of the DOT SAP process, following the initial evaluation conducted by a qualified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP). When education is recommended, the employee must complete a structured, documented program before SAP for a follow-up evaluation.

SAP education focuses on:

  • Substance use awareness and decision-making.
  • Safety-sensitive job responsibilities
  • DOT drug and alcohol regulations
  • Risk reduction and relapse prevention
  • Accountability and long-term compliance

BHSA’s programs are designed to meet DOT expectations, SAP documentation standards, and real-world workforce needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the second phase of the DOT SAP process?

The second phase is education or treatment, as determined by the SAP after the initial assessment. When education or intervention is recommended, the employee must complete a DOT SAP Education Program before returning to the SAP for a follow-up evaluation.

Is BHSA’s SAP Education program DOT-approved?

DOT does not “approve” programs directly. However, BHSA’s programs meet DOT SAP requirements, are led by qualified counselors, and provide the documentation SAPs require to confirm compliance.

Can SAP education be completed virtually?

Yes. DOT regulations allow virtual SAP education, provided it is structured, professionally led, and documented—criteria met by BHSA’s live virtual classes.

How long does SAP education take?

Length depends on the SAP’s recommendation. BHSA offers single-session and multi-session programs based on individual requirements.

Will BHSA send proof of completion to my SAP?

Yes. Participants receive completion documentation suitable for submission to their SAP for the follow-up evaluation.

Is SAP education the same as treatment?

No. Education is instructional and preventative. Treatment involves clinical therapy or rehabilitation. Your SAP determines what is required.

Can employers enroll multiple employees?

Yes. BHSA works with employers nationwide to coordinate group enrollment and compliance tracking.
