Abstract
Summary Since the inception of the United States Army Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Program in July 1971, the army has been intensively involved in developing rehabilitation programs for alcohol and drugs abusers. The author first reviews the guidelines developed by the army for the establishment of such rehabilitation efforts, and methods for program evaluation. He then discusses the various types of programs which have actually developed and comments on which have proved most workable. He concludes that civilian programs can gain seme insights by reviewing the army's experience, for in spite of various difficulties, the programs on the whole have been successful.Keywords
