How does the ASAP assist Soldiers who cannot be rehabilitated?

The Alcohol and Substance Abuse Program (ASAP) plays a vital role in assisting Soldiers who may struggle with substance-related issues and may not respond to rehabilitation efforts. The program’s focus is on holistic care and support, which includes referring Soldiers to appropriate treatment facilities. This referral ensures that individuals receive specialized care tailored to their needs, even if rehabilitation through the military system is not successful.

Treatment facilities can provide various forms of support, including counseling, therapy, and specialized programs that address substance use disorders. By utilizing these external resources, ASAP helps Soldiers connect with professionals who can offer the necessary guidance and treatment options that may not be available within the military structure. This approach promotes Soldier wellness and ensures they have access to the resources needed for recovery and reintegration, which aligns with the overall mission of Army health and readiness.

The other options don't align with the primary mission of ASAP or the support structures in place for Soldiers facing these challenges. Immediate discharge or expulsion lacks a supportive approach, and financial support is not the primary function of ASAP in these situations.
