[AMBER] Polarization Scaling Down

Dear all
     I am running a simulation with several ions and small molecules in
POL3 water using AMBER 10.
It is happen very often that my simulations crashes due to the phenomena
of polarization-catastrophe.
The solution of the problem is to remove the linear dependence with the
 electric field and to introduce a scaling down of the polarizability
when the electric field strength overtake a certain value (e.g.,
Petersen et. al. 2005,J.Chem.Phys B.).

I am trying to figure out if this utility is automatically implemented
in Amber10.
Thanks for any possible help or hint.

Ivan
