Do I have a problem? - Free evaluation

If you think you might have a substance abuse problem, this evaluation will help guide you to determine how severe and provide some guidance for getting treated.

First we need to know which substance you use. If you happen to use more than one, you need to repeat the evaluation for each. We also need to know how many days a month you use a particular substance.

Select the substance you would like to evaluate:
 

In the past 30 days how many times have you used the above substance?
  days  

The following questions can help determine if you may have a problem with the above substance, and the  severity of your problem. Your answers can also help evaluate what kind of help you might need.

Answer as honestly as you can. If you are not sure about one, please select the answer the closest to how you feel. Try to think back over the past 12 month period.
