Which of the following is an intention of the Substance Abuse Prevention Program?
- Raise Awareness of Substance Abuse Issues. Help each member and command understand how to approach and handle substance misuse, abuse, and chemical dependence, which are referred to as SUDs.
- Encourage, Teach, and Support Low-Risk Guidelines for Alcohol Use. The SAP Program adopted a risk management model for alcohol consumption. NIAAA established low-risk drinking guidelines. Key behaviors for low-risk alcohol use as defined by Commandant (CG-1111) include the 0,1,2,3 model. These guidelines suggest:
a. There are occasions where “zero” drinks is the low-risk option; such as, when one is driving, using machinery, cleaning a weapon, pregnant, or on certain medications;
b. Consuming no more than one “standard alcoholic beverage” per hour;
c. Consuming two standard drinks per occasion and never to exceed three; Note: the CG is aware of the complexities, intricacies, and delicate nuances related to education, socio-economic influences, gender, and ethnicity issues as they relate to drinking guidelines both nationally and internationally. Therefore, the CG uses a gender-neutral set of low-risk drinking guidelines: 0,1,2,3. Gender guidelines have been established by the NIAAA because males and females process alcohol differently. Citations are included in this section to clarify the physiological and absorption differences for males and females. For further clarification, please see: https://www.rethinkingdrinking.niaaa.nih.gov/. COMDTINST M6320.5 1-3
d. Check with a Health Care Provider (HCPs) to ensure it is safe to consume alcohol with prescribed medication or diagnosed medical condition; and

4. Support Commands. Assist commands by providing the tools and procedures to address irresponsible alcohol use.
5. Outline Zero Tolerance for Drug/Substance Misuse and Abuse. Support zero tolerance for the intentional and wrongful use of illegal drugs and the wrongful misuse of prescription medication. This also pertains to the wrongful use of any non-controlled substance used with the intent to induce intoxication, excitement, or impairment of the central nervous system. This will also pertain to “substances” used for the purposes of obtaining a “high,” which includes but is not limited to, herbals, gases, aerosols, and manufactured or yet-to-be manufactured designer drugs, such as, spice, bath salts, etc.
