| 1 – 7. Army Substance Abuse Program concept and principles a. Substance abuse contributes to high-risk behaviors, runs counter to Army Values and erodes personal readiness. ASAP is a mechanism within the ARD system of support that, when administered appropriately, through engaged and empowered leadership, supports building personal readiness and resilience, and optimizes performance. b. The command role in substance abuse prevention, drug and alcohol testing, early ID of problems, and administrative or judicial actions is essential. Commanders will ensure that all officials and supervisors support the ASAP. Proposals to provide ASAP services that deviate from procedures prescribed by this regulation must be approved by the Director, ARD, DCS, G. c. The overarching tenets of the ASAP are deterrence, prevention and treatment. (1) The capabilities supporting deterrence are drug testing, identification/detection, and referral. (2) The capabilities supporting prevention are awareness, education, risk reduction, interventions, and employee assistance. (3) While not apart of ASAP, Substance Use Disorder Clinical Care (SUDCC) supports the Army’s strategy to prevent substance abuse within the Army and provide treatment services when clinically indicated. (4) Table 1 – 1 depicts this alignment and provides definitions for each capability. |
