Alcohol  often  involves  the  abusive  drinker  in crisis  situations—accidents,  fights,  arrests,  etc. These  are  the  symptoms—alcohol  abuse  is  the problem.  NASAP  offers  individuals  the  oppor- tunity to face their problem directly rather than attacking  only  the  symptoms. NASAP  is  designed  to  make  the  alcohol abuser  aware  of  his  drinking  problem  and  to face it honestly. NASAP referred   to counselors   screen   the   people them   to   determine   what   level   of therapy  they  need—Level  I  or  Level  II.  If  the drinking  is  found  to  be  at  an  early  stage,  the person  is  enrolled  in  the  Level  I  education  pro- gram.  The  person  remains  at  his  duty  assignment and  attends  class  in  off  hours. The  Level  II  programs  for  more  advanced alcohol   abuse   problems   and   individuals   are referred  to  formal  treatment  and  rehabilitation facilities.   The   program   consists   of   a   physical exam,  controlled  diet,  individual  counseling, and  group  therapy.  The  members  must  also attend   Alcoholics   Anonymous   (AA)   meetings. After the individuals are returned to active duty they are put in touch with the local AA organiza- tion. Veterans’  Administration  (VA)  Programs The  Veterans’  Administration  (VA) has established medical centers for the treatment of eligible  veterans  who  suffer  alcohol  or  drug dependence   or   associated   medical   conditions. The  VA  has  activated  100  specialized  Alcohol Dependence  Treatment  Programs  (ADTPs)  and 52 specialized Drug Dependence Treatment Pro- grams  (DDTPs).  Eligible  veterans  may  receive treatment  at  those  facilities  at  no  cost.  Treat- ment  at  each  ADTP  and  DDTP  is  comprehen- sive   and   individualized   and   includes   crisis intervention   support   activities;   emergency medical  services  including  detoxification, clinical  and  vocational  assessment;  consultative and  liaison  services;  ambulatory  and  outpatient services;  and  aftercare  services.  If  specialized care  is  not  available  at  the  admitting  medical center,  the  veteran  may  be  transferred  to  the nearest  medical  center  which  has  a  specialized medical  program  for  alcohol  and  drug  depend- ence treatment. Other Federal Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Programs The Federal Government sponsors a number of  programs  of  research,  treatment,  preven- tion,  and  education  which  address  the  issues of   alcoholism   and   drug   abuse.   Information 5-37
