to End Your Career.

Under federal law (49 CFR Part 40), you cannot return to any safety-sensitive position until you've completed the SAP process โ€” no exceptions. That means no driving, no operating equipment, no getting back to the work you depend on.

The good news: the process is straightforward when you have the right SAP guiding you. The sooner you start, the sooner you're cleared to return.

James Martinez, LCADC, SAP

I'm a federally qualified Substance Abuse Professional with years of experience helping DOT-regulated workers navigate the return-to-duty process — and get back to the careers they've worked hard to build.

My approach is straightforward, compassionate, and judgment-free. I know this process can feel overwhelming, especially when your livelihood is on the line. My job is to guide you through every step as efficiently as possible so you can focus on what matters — getting back to work.

I offer evening and weekend appointments and conduct all evaluations in both English and Spanish.
