Introduction
Drug use can have a severe impact on your performance, judgment, and readiness. Therefore, the Navy has a strict policy governing drug use and how drug incidents will be handled.
1-2-27
Terms to Know
DAPA Drug and Alcohol Program Advisor. Each command has a DAPA that manages prevention, treatment, and referral administration. The DAPA is the COs go-to person on alcohol and drug matters. While DAPAs handle the aftermath of drug positives, they DO NOT administer urinalysis tests. UPC Urinalysis Program Coordinator. UPCs manage command urinalysis programs. They ensure urinalysis testing is random by using Navy Drug Screening Program (NDSP computer software) and that all monthly submission requirements are met. This CANNOT be the same person as the DAPA.
General Military Training-Drug and Alcohol Abuse 1-2-28
Navy Policy
The Navys policy on drug abuse is Zero Tolerance. This means that any Sailor guilty of a single incident of drug abuse will be processed for administrative separation and likely disciplined as well.
1-2-29
The Navy cannot test for inhalants and ephedra through urinalysis, but can request a special test for these if a Sailor is suspected of use.
General Military Training-Drug and Alcohol Abuse 1-2-30
Urinalysis Program
Commands must test 10 to 40% of their members on a monthly basis. A minimum of one unit sweep must be done per fiscal year, but may be done up to five times per unit per fiscal year. All positive samples are tested three times at different stations. The Navy must have three positives to result in a positive report.

Introduction
Alcohol, even if consumed in small quantities, can impair your judgment. The Navy has developed a policy for the responsible use of alcohol
1-2-43
Responsible Use
The Navys policy on alcohol use is Responsible Use, which leaves it up to the Sailor whether he/she will consume alcohol or not. Abstinence from alcohol is a responsible option, however, if abstinence is not chosen there should be some self-imposed limitations. Underage drinkers violate the law and will be treated accordingly.
1-2-44
Navy Policy
Any use of alcohol shall not:
Impair the rational and full exercise of a members mental and physical faculties while on duty or in the performance of military duties. Reduce the members dependability or reliability. Reflect discredit upon the member personally or upon the Navy.
General Military Training-Drug and Alcohol Abuse 1-2-45
Alcohol Incidents
An alcohol incident is an offense punishable under the UCMJ or civilian laws committed by a member for which, in the judgment of the offenders CO, the consumption of alcohol was a primary contributing factor.
1-2-46
Referrals
Referrals result in Sailors being screened for treatment. There are three different types of referrals based on different situations.
Incident Command Self
General Military Training-Drug and Alcohol Abuse 1-2-49
Screening Process
The DAPA must conduct a screening of the Sailor. Screening package is sent to the Medical Treatment Facility (MTF). MTF conducts its own screening and issues a recommendation. DAPA takes diagnosis and recommendation for treatment and discusses it with CO. Sailor signs required paperwork and treatment begins.
General Military Training-Drug and Alcohol Abuse 1-2-50
Treatment Process
Member commences treatment. Command DAPA receives Continuing Care Plan from MTF. CO determines Aftercare plan. DAPA monitors aftercare and meets with member regularly.
1-2-51
Failure
There are several situations that can constitute failure. Failure is grounds for administrative separation.
Alcohol incident after a period of treatment Failing to complete treatment Failing to follow or complete aftercare plan Returning to alcohol abuse at any time during his or her career following treatment.

If you think you have a problem with drugs or alcohol, contact your command Drug and Alcohol Program Advisor (DAPA) and get help today.
