Yes it’s called an Article 15….
Actually they can go seek treatment.
Every base has a program to help Soldiers with drug and alcohol abuse problems.
The Soldier can go in him/herself for confidential treatment, or wait to be caught and forced into the program while being punished for illegal drug use.
Yes it is the ASAP or Army Substance Abuse Program. It is a comprehensive program, which combines prevention education, suicide prevention, urinalysis testing, risk reduction, and civilian employees counseling services.
There are 5 ways for a soldier to be referred to ASAP –
1) Self Identification (Voluntary) – The soldier goes to his/her chain-of-command and requests to see a counselor for an alcohol and/or drug abuse issue.
2) Commander/Supervisor Identification – A soldier can be referred in this way if his/her commander becomes aware, observes, or suspects that a soldier is a substance abuser.
3) Biochemical Identification – A soldier that comes up with a positive results from a urinalysis or a breath/blood alcohol testing method will automatically be referred to the Counseling Center for evaluation.
4) Medical Identification – Healthcare providers/physicians may refer a soldier if it is apparent upon examination that the soldier is abusing alcohol and/or other substance. The soldier’s unit commander will be immediately notified by the referring medical personnel.
5) Investigation and/or apprehension – Soldiers that are identified by military or civilian law enforcement as being involved in an alcohol and/or drug related incident will be referred to ASAP for counseling within 72 hours of the incident by the soldiers’ unit commander.
Services are authorized for all ID Card holders authorized medical services in a military medical facility, and personnel eligible for services under the Federal Civilian Employees Occupational Health Services program. The phone number is on the bottom of the page I provided.
