Early Identification and Self Assessment

  • Provide risk assessment materials to Soldiers and Command
  • Provide information and help during the referral process

Risk Reduction

  • Tailored training based on risk in your Unit

Screening

  • Unit Risk Inventory(URI)Reintegration-URI– Anonymous surveys that document the risk present at the unit level

Targeted Intervention

  • Referrals to community-based providers for help with drug and alcohol concerns

Limited Use Policy

  • If you think you may have a problem with alcohol or drugs, it is best to admit the concern to your chain of command so they can help before you get caught.
  • If you admit your abuse and request help, the Limited Use Policy could limit the negative consequences of your drug or alcohol abuse.

Under the Limited Use Policy:

  • The characterization of discharge is limited to "Honorable"
  • Your commander is not required to initiate separation proceedings
  • For more information, see AR 600-85 or talk to your RRC and PC
