Mosher Aims At GI Heroin Rehabilitation
Congressman Charles A. Mosher introduces bipartisan legislation to identify and rehabilitate heroin addicts in the U S military. The measure mandates urinalysis, detoxification, and treatment during service with potential civil commitment and veterans’ program transfer for unrehabilitated cases, plus expanded facilities and a prison term for suppliers. The bill seeks medical discharge for nonrecovering addicts and stricter regulations on discharges and veterans benefits.
