My Services

I appreciate your interest in my SAP services. Here’s a good explanation for you:

The SAP process includes a meeting and a remote evaluation session, including a required DOT test. Following this, there’s a second meeting to review what I recommended. The turnaround for completing this could be as quick as one day if you don’t have any significant issues with alcohol or drugs. These meetings will generate two letters to be sent to whoever you designate, including yourself, if you’re not currently employed. My fee for SAP services is $375, and I encourage you to use Zelle, Cash App, Venmo, Apple Pay, or PayPal. Zelle allows you to transfer funds directly from your bank to mine. I am available on short notice from 11 AM to 6 PM CT, seven days a week. You can also verify me at SAPlist.com. I encourage you to check out my book, Pocket Therapist, available on Amazon. Let me know if you have any further questions. If you’re interested in moving forward, please send me your email address, and I will send you more information. Thank you.

Follow-Up Testing Plans

After the initial evaluation, I help develop a personalized follow-up testing plan, ensuring compliance with DOT regulations.

For those in need of further support, I offer referrals to trusted counselors and treatment programs tailored to individual needs.

Testimonials

Mr. Al DesMarteau is a wonderful counselor! First of all, setting an appointment with him was extremely easy as he is super responsive to all correspondence. He met with my dad and I to complete a thorough evaluation. I cannot express how much his services have meant to us. He is semi-retired and due to COVID is currently doing remote services, but seriously expect nothing but the professionalism and wisdom of a counselor with nearly 20 years under his belt.

If you are looking for a counselor, please give him a call!

Lieu Nguyen

I called Al DesMarteau and he responded quickly to my situation and started the process of getting me on track through a complicated situation. He is very knowledgeable and put together a plan that fits my situation. He left no unknowns and provided detailed information and instructions. He is calm and receptive. Unlike another SAP I called earlier, who was verbally abusive and laughed at my situation. Al DesMarteau was very professional and caring and got me on the correct path. I give him 5 stars because HE DESERVES THEM. Contact him and you will be in the best of hands.
