Substance Abuse Professional services for Pittsburgh workers
Pittsburgh's economy moves a lot of freight, gas, and people — which means a lot of DOT-regulated workers. Whether you drive for a regional carrier, operate a PRT route, fly out of PIT, or work a Marcellus gas crew, the federal return-to-duty process is the same. We work with Pittsburgh-area employees throughout western PA, with telehealth slots usually available the same week.

In-person and telehealth
Pittsburgh workers can choose between secure HIPAA-aware telehealth evaluations or in-person appointments. Telehealth meets every 49 CFR Part 40 requirement and is permitted for both the initial SAP evaluation and the follow-up. Most Pittsburgh-area drivers prefer telehealth so they can begin the return-to-duty process without taking another day off the road.
Same federal process, regardless of where you are
Whether you're a CDL driver pulled over in Pittsburgh, a transit worker flagged by a random test, or a pilot returning from a positive screen — the DOT return-to-duty process is the same nationwide. We work the entire process from your initial evaluation through follow-up and Clearinghouse reporting (for FMCSA drivers).

Does telehealth count for a DOT SAP evaluation in Pittsburgh?
Yes. DOT explicitly permits telehealth for both the initial SAP evaluation and the follow-up evaluation under 49 CFR Part 40, as long as it's a real-time, two-way video session with a qualified SAP. Pittsburgh workers use telehealth most often because it removes drive time and lost work hours.

Will my Pittsburgh employer or DER accept this evaluation?
Yes. The 49 CFR Part 40 return-to-duty process is federal, not local.
