What is the purpose of the limited use policy?

The purpose of the limited use policy is to encourage reporting of substance abuse by offering protections to Soldiers who come forward. This policy aims to create an environment where individuals feel safe to seek help without the fear of facing severe repercussions that could arise from admitting to substance use. By allowing Soldiers to access support and resources without being penalized, the program bolsters the overall health of the unit and helps to address substance abuse issues head-on, fostering a culture of responsibility and recovery.

While other options may touch on relevant aspects of substance use management, such as rehabilitation efforts or accountability in testing, the primary intent of the limited use policy is to promote a proactive approach to substance abuse reporting. This ultimately contributes to a healthier and more responsive military environment where Soldiers can receive help and work towards rehabilitation.
