After your results

What to do with your score.

Your quiz results are a helpful first step — not a final answer. If your score indicates moderate to high risk, consider these actions. Even a low score is worth monitoring if circumstances change.

Seek professional support

Contact a licensed healthcare provider, addiction counselor, or our admissions team for a personalized evaluation.

Explore treatment options

Outpatient programs, residential rehab, therapy, and peer support groups — we'll help you find the right level of care.

Build healthy coping strategies

Replace substance use with stress-relief techniques like exercise, mindfulness, or creative outlets.

Monitor your habits

Track usage patterns to identify triggers and prevent escalation — even if your score is currently low.

Clinical basis

How this quiz was created.

This self-assessment was developed based on widely recognized guidelines from medical and behavioral health organizations, including DSM-5 criteria for substance use disorders. Each question targets common signs of addiction — loss of control, cravings, tolerance, withdrawal, and impact on daily life.

Our goal is a quick, confidential, easy-to-understand tool that helps you assess your risk level. While it can provide valuable insight, it is not a medical diagnosis. For personalized evaluation, speak with a licensed provider or our admissions team.
