To  provide  counseling  services  for  drug and  alcohol  abusers  determined  to  require  local rehabilitation. When  feasible,  provide  assistance  to commands  and  active  duty  and  reserve  Navy personnel  as  follows: a.  Crisis  intervention  work,  particularly alcohol  and  drug-related  incidents. b.  Aftercare  support  to  individuals  seek- ing such assistance. c.   Personal   assistance   referral   for   per- sons  seeking  help  who  require  professional  or specialized expertise. d.  Administrative  advice  or  assistance  to commands   or   individuals   concerning   Navy alcohol  or  drug  program  actions. e.  Educational  assistance  to  commands concerning  alcohol  and  drug-related  subjects. f.  Support  of  command  sponsored  drug and   alcohol   activities   (conference   rooms, classrooms,  audiovisual  assistance,  etc.).

Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers (ARCs) Alcohol   Rehabilitation   Centers   (ARCs)   are the  largest  treatment  facilities  (75  beds)  in  the Navy’s  alcoholism  treatment  and  rehabilitation program.   These   centers   provide   a   residential treatment  and  rehabilitation  program  for  alco- hol   dependent   individuals.   ARCs   offer   a   full 6-week  intensive  inpatient  treatment  program. Professionals,   most   of   whom   are   recovering alcoholics  on  active  duty,  provide  a  mixture of   therapy, individual  and  group  counsel- ing,   Alcoholics   Anonymous   involvement   and education.  Spiritual  reinforcement  and  religious counseling  are  provided  by  Navy  chaplains  who are  assigned  to  ARCs.  ARCs  stress  a  whole  life approach   to   recovery   from   alcoholism   and alcohol  abuse  and  encourage  a  member’s  family to participate in the rehabilitation process. ALCOHOL  REHABILITATION  SERV- ICES   (ARSs).—Alcohol   Rehabilitation   Serv- ices   are   inpatient   treatment   facilities   for alcoholism and alcohol abuse. They are attached to  24  Navy  regional  medical  centers  (NRMCs) and  hospitals.  As  smaller  versions  of  ARCs, most of these units treat as many as 15 people at a  time  on  an  inpatient  basis.  Several  ARS  loca- tions  have  facilities  for  more  than  15  patients. ARSs  also  offer  outpatient  services  to  persons less  seriously  affected  by  alcoholism  or  alcohol abuse.  A  medical  officer  heads  the  ARS  staff. Most  of  the  medical  officers  who  serve  in  this capacity  are  recovering  alcoholics. Navy Drug Rehabilitation Center (NDRC) The Navy operates one 200-bed facility at the Naval   Air   Station,   Miramar,   California,   for drug  dependent  persons.  The  NDRC  is  staffed with  both  professional  civilian  therapists  and trained  military  counselors.  As  with  all  Navy treatment programs, the primary mission of the NDRC  is  the  return  of  patients  to  active  duty service. Human Resources Management Centers (HRMCs) and Detachments (HRMDs) HRMCs and HRMDs are concerned with the full  range  of  human  development  and  problem areas. These groups provide programs in alcohol education  and  alcoholism  prevention,  race  rela- tions,  drug  education  and  drug  abuse  control, organizational   development,   and   overseas diplomacy.   HRMCs   and   HRMDs   also   assist local  commanding  officers  in  identifying  prob- lem  areas,  and  in  education,  training,  patient referral,  and  local  drug  and  alcohol  rehabilita- tion  programs. 5-34
