Frequently asked questions

1. What triggers the DOT Return-to-Duty process?

The RTD process is initiated when a DOT-regulated employee violates drug and alcohol regulations—such as testing positive, refusing a test, or violating misuse rules. It must be completed before the employee can return to safety-sensitive duties.

2. Is the RTD process the same across all DOT agencies (FMCSA, FAA, etc.)?

While the core process is similar, some specifics may vary slightly by agency. Always consult your specific modal regulations (e.g., FMCSA for trucking) to ensure full compliance.

3. Can I choose my own Substance Abuse Professional (SAP)?

Yes, but the SAP must be DOT-qualified. Employers must provide a list of qualified SAPs, but employees are allowed to select any certified SAP they wish to work with.

4. How long does the Return-to-Duty process take?

It varies based on the SAP’s evaluation and the treatment plan. Some may complete it in a few weeks, while others may take months. Progress depends on compliance with recommendations and availability of services.

5. Do I have to pay for the SAP and RTD process myself?

DOT regulations don’t require the employer to cover these costs. Responsibility for payment may fall to the employee unless an employer chooses to assist. It's best to clarify this with your employer up front.

6. What happens if I fail the Return-to-Duty test?

A failed RTD test means you cannot return to safety-sensitive duties. You’ll likely have to re-enter the SAP process, which may extend your time off work and require additional treatment or education.

7. Is the Return-to-Duty test observed?

Yes. Per DOT regulations, the RTD test is a directly observed urine collection to ensure the integrity of the process and prevent tampering or substitution.

8. What is a Follow-Up Testing Plan and how long does it last?

After the RTD test, your SAP will prescribe a Follow-Up Testing Plan. This typically includes a minimum of 6 unannounced tests over 12 months, but the SAP can extend this up to 5 years based on your individual case.
