Abstract

In 1971, drug use by U.S. servicemen in Vietnam had, by all estimates, reached epidemic proportions. A follow up study of returning Army enlisted men was carried out in order to facilitate planning of programs for these soldiers and to gain insight concerning the natural history of drug use and abuse, when drugs are readily available to young men from all types of social backgrounds. Findings on the permanence of Vietnam drug addiction are presented.
