The Minister for Defence Science and Personnel visits RAAF Base Richmond
The Minister for Defence Science and Personnel, the Hon. Warren Snowdon MP, has seen the work of Defence’s own alcohol rehabilitation program during a visit to Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Base Richmond.
The Alcohol Rehabilitation and Education Program (AREP) is a four-week course which seeks to rehabilitate members who have been identified as having an alcohol dependency.
AREP forms a part of the Australian Defence Force’s (ADF) Mental Health Strategy, offering Defence members a supportive, caring environment that focuses on the goal of alcohol abstinence in both the short and long term.
The program demonstrates Defence’s proactive stand on helping members with alcohol dependency, and returning them as effective members of the Defence workforce.
