Senate backs treatment for Vietnam GI drug abuse
Washington action forces military services to identify and treat alcohol and heroin users among Vietnam era troops. The 760 amendment funds rehabilitation, aims to reduce drug use, and allows civil commitment up to three years if military options fail. The bill expands medical discharge protections and raises penalties for in service drug pushers.
