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.

Navy Drug Testing

There are many drugs the Navy tests for through urinalysis. These include:
