What is the purpose of the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Training (ADAPT)?

The purpose of the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Training (ADAPT) is to educate soldiers and their families about the risks associated with substance abuse. This program is designed to raise awareness of the consequences that alcohol and drug abuse can have on an individual's health, wellbeing, and performance as a member of the military community. By providing education on these risks, ADAPT helps to foster a greater understanding of how substance abuse can impact personal and professional lives, ultimately aiming to prevent substance-related issues before they arise.

The emphasis on education and prevention is critical, as it empowers soldiers and their families with knowledge that can aid in making informed decisions regarding substance use. This preventive approach also contributes to creating a healthier and more resilient military environment.
