Guest guest Posted September 15, 2000 Report Share Posted September 15, 2000 http://www.friends-partners.org/friends/news/omri/1991/07/910723.html(opt,mozill\ a,unix,english,,new) On the above link I found this: MILITARY ALCOHOL TREATMENT PROGRAM. US Navy alcohol abuse experts who recently visited the USSR say that alcohol treatment programs in the Soviet armed forces are primitive and woefully inadequate, Knight-Ridder reported on July 23. One US team member said that the Soviets are " about 50-70 years behind the United States in terms of alcoholism treatment, " and that rates of alcoholism in the Soviet Union are " significantly higher " than in the US. While most American servicemen receive treatment in self-help groups and through counseling, he added, there is no treatment short of hospitalization in the USSR. Only officers are eligible for treatment, and alcoholism among conscripts is reported to be rampant.
