Mission & Objectives

Les McFarling, ACSAP Director Message from the DirectorWelcome to the Army Substance Abuse Program website. ACSAP is responsible for providing guidance and leadership on all non-clinical alcohol and other drug policy issues; developing, establishing, administering, and evaluating non-clinical alcohol and other drug (AOD) abuse prevention, education, and training programs; overseeing the Military, Drug Free Workplace and Department of Transportation biochemical (drug) testing programs; and for the oversight of local Army Substance Abuse Programs (ASAP) worldwide.

The primary goal of the ACSAP website is to provide soldiers, commanders, ASAP personnel, Unit Prevention Leaders (UPL) and all other members of the Army community with an informative, user-friendly online environment. Those utilizing the site have access to a multitude of information on our Biochemical (drug) Testing Programs, Risk Reduction Program (RRP), Soldier Assistance Program (SAP), Employee Assistance Program (EAP), alcohol and drug abuse prevention training materials, as well as general information about our Agency.

We at ACSAP urge you, our customer, to provide us with your comments and feedback, as your opinion is imperative to us providing you with the most useful and current alcohol and other drug information.

Again, I would like to personally welcome you to our website and I encourage you to explore and utilize the website in its entirety.

Sincerely Yours,
Les McFarling
Director
