Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is the ADAPT program mandatory if I am referred by my command?
Yes, command referrals are part of the military structure and require participation in the assessment and recommended treatment process. However, the program also strongly encourages self-referrals.
What is the difference between a self-referral and a command referral?
A self-referral is when an individual voluntarily contacts the ADAPT clinic to request services. A command referral is initiated by a member’s unit leadership, typically after a substance-related incident or identification of potential concern.
