Study Notes

Substance Dependence and Substance Abuse

Substance Dependence is characterized by continuing use despite medical or psychological reasons to stop, marked by increased tolerance and withdrawal symptoms.
Substance Abuse involves impairment problems related to substance use, such as legal issues, health problems, or jeopardizing valued relationships.

Responsibilities of Commanders and UPLs

Commanders are responsible for implementing the Substance Abuse Program at the unit level.
UPLs (Unit Prevention Leaders) must maintain awareness of the most recent information available on the ASAP (Army Substance Abuse Program) website.

Testing Procedures and Methods

Smart Testing includes unpredictable drug testing schedules and ensures all selected soldiers are tested.
Random testing methods must adhere to Army guidelines; methods like selecting soldiers in line do not qualify as random.
Specific testing codes must be used in various situations, such as Probable Cause (PO) for observed drug use or Accident/Mishap (AO) following incidents.

Urinalysis Collection Process

The minimum specimen volume required for standard urinalysis testing is 30ml; for steroid testing, it is 60ml.
The observer must maintain line of sight with the specimen during the collection process and cannot touch the specimen bottle.
Soldiers must wash hands with water only before providing a sample, and the observer must see the urine leaving the soldier's body.

Documentation and Record Keeping

DD Form 2624 is essential for recording urinalysis results; missing information on the label will prevent testing.
Positive results are retained for three years, while negative results are kept for one year.
UPLs must ensure accurate records matching dates and SSNs on all documentation.

Cleaning and Disinfection

Disinfecting collection areas can be done with a 10% bleach solution, Lysol, or alcohol solutions of 70% or higher.
Proper storage for specimens must comply with evidence security standards, utilizing safes or metal lockers.

Training and Regulations

Soldiers receive selective prevention training tailored to specific drug threats prior to deployment.
AR 600-85 governs regulations regarding alcohol and drug abuse management and the associated record-keeping system (ARIMS).

Reviews and Discharge Procedures

In cases of positive drug tests, if the Medical Review Officer determines illegitimate use, the commander must initiate discharge procedures following legal consultation.
