| 16 – 11. Referral of alcohol and illegal drug abusers in the US. Army Reserve Army Substance Abuse Program Chapter 7 applies to the USAR, except that a. When the unit commander believes the Limited Use Policy applies, the unit commander should consult with the ASAP manager and the supporting legal advisor. The unit commander may then explain Limited Use Policy if applicable to the particular circumstances. If the unit commander determines the Limited Use Policy does not apply, the commander should then advise the Soldier suspected of drug or alcohol abuse of the rights under UCMJ, Article 31 band MRE 305, and if available ask the Soldier to sign DA Form 3881. b. Refer the Soldier to a military, VA or certified community-based treatment program. Document the referral using DA Form 4856. The commander will provide the Soldier with a list of certified and/or approved counseling agencies that are within a reasonable commuting distance of the Soldier’s residence. The USAR will not provide counseling services to include evaluation, rehabilitation/treatment and followup services. Additionally, Soldiers will be advised that they (1) Must promptly arrange for an evaluation, which should take place not later than 45 days from date of the command counseling session. (2) Sign a consent statement for release of counseling information, which allows the counseling personnel to share necessary information with the commander or designee and the USAR ASAP manager or designated ASAP personnel. The ASAP manager and/or ASAP designated personnel must receive HIPAA training annually. The commander must be kept informed regarding the progress of rehabilitation. Soldiers must request that counseling personnel provide written monthly updates to the commander. The Soldier must also request that the rehabilitation personnel complete and forward to the USAR ASAP manager and/or designated ASAP personnel a DA Form 4465 when Soldier is evaluated and a Patient release record must be submitted a minimum of every 90 days and then at program release. Methadone maintenance and mandatory Disulfiram (Antabuse) treatment will not satisfy the rehabilitation requirements of this chapter. Soldiers may refuse to sign the consent statement. However, these Soldiers maybe deemed not to be participating sufficiently in rehabilitation. Refusal to sign may result in their being processed for separation for rehabilitation failure. (3) Must understand that failure to seek counseling, refusal to sign a consent to release information to the commander, or to participate and complete rehabilitation successfully, will result in initiation of separation proceedings under appropriate officer or enlisted separation regulations. (4) Can only attend ASAP ADAPT (Prime for Life) after being evaluated by a certified/licensed Substance Use Disorder counselor from a military, VA or community-based substance abuse treatment program.
