Can soldiers enrolled in the Army Substance Abuse Program (ASAP) rehabilitation program reenlist?

In the context of the Army Substance Abuse Program (ASAP), soldiers who are currently enrolled in a rehabilitation program are not eligible to reenlist. This policy is established to ensure that soldiers focus on their recovery and address their substance use issues without the added pressure of reenlistment responsibilities.

The intent behind this rule is to prioritize the well-being of the soldier and the overall effectiveness of the Army. Soldiers engaged in rehabilitation are undergoing a crucial process aimed at addressing their substance dependency, and appropriate support and stability must be provided during this time.

Reenlisting could detract from their commitment to recovery and may ultimately undermine the progress they have made in treatment. The Army emphasizes readiness and a drug-free environment, thus making it standard practice to restrict reenlistment while individuals are still involved in ASAP.
