Millions of Americans, including active-duty service members and veterans, fall victim to alcohol and substance use disorders. No matter your branch of service or the stage of your career, there are a range of care, treatment and support options available to help you overcome addiction or abuse issues.
Army Substance Abuse Program
With a mission aimed at strengthening the overall fitness and effectiveness of the Army’s workforce, the Army Substance Abuse Program offers soldiers services that include alcohol and drug abuse deterrence, prevention, education and rehabilitation. The program offers prevention and education services at all levels of command, with strategies that respond to potential problems before they jeopardize readiness, productivity and careers. Treatment options are open to active-duty soldiers, Reservists, and members of the National Guard.
Marine Corps Substance Abuse Program
Prevention education, early intervention initiatives, counseling, and drug and alcohol deterrent activities are at the core of the Marine Corps Substance Abuse Program. Substance abuse counseling centers are located on all Marine Corps installations, with treatment led by licensed professionals who can screen assess, treat and manage cases related to alcohol and drug abuse. Following an assessment, a Marine can enter a care program that’s designed to respond to their changing clinical needs.
Air Force Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment (ADAPT)
The Air Force offers the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment (ADAPT) program, aimed at promoting readiness, health and wellness through the prevention and treatment of substance abuse. ADAPT services are primarily for active-duty personnel and include outreach, counseling, outpatient and inpatient treatment. Non-active-duty Tricare beneficiaries may be eligible for assessment and treatment.
Navy Substance Abuse and Rehabilitation Program (SARP)
The Navy’s Substance Abuse and Rehabilitation Program promotes readiness, health and wellness through prevention programs and treatment of those suffering from substance abuse. Sailors with alcohol problems are encouraged to seek help without fear of negative consequences. A Sailor may be referred to SARP by a supervisor if there are signs of problem use, or through a command referral following a substance-related incident (underage drinking, driving while intoxicated, disorderly conduct, etc.), or a failed drug screening.
