Which of the following is NOT a method of identifying drug/alcohol abuse?

Social identification is not recognized as a formal method for identifying drug or alcohol abuse. The primary methods utilized in the context of the Army Substance Abuse Program include self-identification, which relies on an individual recognizing and admitting their substance use issues; command identification, where leaders in a military setting notice signs of substance abuse and take relevant action; and medical identification, which involves healthcare professionals screening and diagnosing substance use disorders through clinical assessments.

Social identification may occur informally through interactions with peers or community members, but it lacks the systematic approach and structure of the other methods mentioned, and therefore, does not effectively serve as a reliable means for identifying substance abuse issues in a program setting. This distinction underscores the importance of adopting recognized and formal procedures when addressing substance abuse in a military context.
