About Our Substance Abuse Assessment

This substance abuse assessment is designed to help individuals reflect on their use of substances, including alcohol, Illicit drugs, and prescription drugs not used as prescribed. By answering the questions provided, you can gain insights into your substance use patterns and identify potential concerns that may warrant further evaluation. This tool aims to guide those who may need support in making informed decisions about seeking professional help.

If you are struggling with drug or alcohol use, taking medication without a doctor’s prescription, or using medications in larger amounts or for longer than prescribed, the following questions are similar to those your clinician would use to begin the evaluation process. Please ensure your responses reflect symptoms that have affected you over the past two weeks.

If you are uncertain whether your issues may indicate depression, consulting with a mental health professional, such as an online therapist or psychiatrist, can help identify the cause and recommend appropriate treatment.
