U S Command to Treat Viet Nam Heroin Users Before Homecoming
U S military officials announce a program in Viet Nam to identify heroin users among departing soldiers using FRAT urinalysis at Long Binh and Cam Ranh Bay. Positive cases enter five to seven days of treatment, then return to the United States for follow up at new drug treatment centers. About 6,079 have already gone through amnesty programs in 1969, with 3,000 to 4,000 sailors arriving weekly.
