Returning War Veterans May Get 30 Day Heroin Treatment
SAN FRANCISCO AP Servicemen returning from Vietnam addicted to heroin may receive 30 days of treatment before discharge. John Kester policy director for the Defense Department’s drug program said the approach is a humane step, while doctors argued for disability payments and civilian treatment options. An Army survey is cited showing one third of enlisted men in Vietnam tried hard drugs. The plan aims to identify addicts earlier than discharge, with compulsory urinalysis tests for those leaving Vietnam.
