The Addiction Test is for people who are concerned about their use of alcohol, drugs, or other behaviors.

First, we need to know which substance or behavior you're concerned about. This will help us ask you the right questions.

If you’re concerned about multiple substances or behaviors, you can think of them all as part of the same pattern of addiction, or you can take the test once for each substance or behavior.
