will be a little harder. If you want to learn more, let's
dive into the lesson chapter. We will ask the question again,
give you the answer, and then explain why that is the correct
answer and what it actually means for you.
The soldier question one. How can a Soldier be identified
(03:21):
as struggling with substance abuse?
Self referral, commander slash supervisor identification,
biochemical testing, medical identification or investigation
slash apprehension. The Army outlines 5 official
methods of identifying substanceabuse in Soldiers.
Self referral, command referral,urinalysis results, medical
(03:43):
referral, and apprehension by law enforcement.
These methods are designed to catch problems early, protect
the force, and give Soldiers access to support.
Question 2. Can a Soldier currently enrolled
in an ASAP rehab program re enlist?
No, the Army prohibits re enlistment while a soldier is
(04:05):
undergoing substance abuse treatment.
This policy ensures that soldiers complete rehabilitation
and demonstrate sustained recovery before being offered
continued service. Once cleared by the treatment
provider and the commander, theymay become eligible again.
This protects unit readiness andpreserves the Army's standards
of conduct. Question three.
(04:28):
Are Soldiers who voluntarily seek ASAP flagged in the system?
No, as long as they participate and succeed.
Once they are in the program, self referral is encouraged and
protected to remove the fear of punishment.
As long as a soldier participates fully and abides by
the treatment plan, they won't be flagged.
(04:49):
This supports early intervention, however if they
fail treatment or test positive after referral, the protections
may no longer apply. This balance encourages help
seeking while maintaining standards.
Question 4. What does ASAP stand for?
The Army Substance Abuse Program?
(05:11):
This acronym is simple but represents a wide reaching
program involving prevention, education, testing,
rehabilitation and readiness. Soldiers must understand that
ASAP is not just a drug program,it's a readiness tool and a
leadership responsibility. Question 5.
Will a soldier be flagged if they're referred to ASAP by
(05:34):
their command? Yes.
Flagging a soldier upon referralto ASAP is an administrative
safeguard. It doesn't imply guilt, but it
pauses favorable actions like awards, promotion, or re
enlistment until treatment is complete.
This reinforces accountability while also protecting the
(05:54):
soldiers rights. Question 6 What does 0 tolerance
mean in the context of the ASAP?The Army does not condone
illegal drug use and will take appropriate administrative
action, including separation forviolations. 0 Tolerance isn't
about being harpless, it's aboutprotecting the team.
(06:16):
The Army gives soldiers education, counseling, and a
chance to self refer, but when someone violates drug policy,
consequences are swift and clear.
This maintains trust and fairness across the ranks.
Question 7. What is meant by substance abuse
under AR 600 to 85? The use of illicit drugs or the
(06:39):
misuse of legally obtained substances, including
prescription medications and alcohol.
The Army defines substance abusebroadly to include illegal
drugs, misusing someone else's prescription, or using legal
substances like alcohol or painkillers in a way that
impairs performance, endangers others, or violates Army policy.
(07:01):
It's not just about what is taken, it's about how and why.
This definition allows the Army to intervene early and
consistently no matter the substance.
Remember, abuse isn't just illegal use, it's any use that
hurts performance, safety, or discipline.
Question 8. Can a soldier be separated for a
(07:22):
single positive drug test? Yes, AR 600 to 85 authorizes
separation after one offense involving illegal drug use.
Although commanders may considerretention, especially in self
referral cases, the regulation supports 0 tolerance.
That means even 1 failed test from a lawful inspection, unit
(07:45):
sweep or consent based sample may justify discharge.
This strict policy reinforces deterrence and trust.
Soldiers know their careers can be ended by 1 poor decision,
especially if they hold leadership or sensitive
positions. Question 9.
Are self referrals protected from punitive action?
(08:07):
Yes, self referrals made before identification are protected
from punitive action. Under the Limited Use Policy.
A soldier who voluntarily admitsto drug or alcohol abuse before
any investigation, testing, or command involvement is
considered to have self referredunder AR 600 to 85.
This admission is protected and cannot be used for UCMJ action.
(08:31):
However, the soldier must participate fully in treatment
or they lose that protection. This policy is meant to
encourage early honesty and rehabilitation without fear.
It's a one time opportunity. If a soldier relapses or fails
rehab, the command can take further action.
Question 10. Can a soldier be punished for
(08:52):
abusing prescription drugs? Yes, even if a drug is
prescribed to the soldier, taking more than the prescribed
dose, sharing medication, or using expired prescriptions
constitutes drug abuse. Using someone else's
prescription is always illegal. These actions can lead to
administrative separation or UCMJ punishment.
(09:16):
Soldiers must be educated that prescription drugs are
controlled substances and misusecarries the same consequences as
St. drugs. The repetition chapter If it
took you a second to answer those questions, would recommend
staying around for a rapid fire for the repetition chapter.
