Alcohol/Drugs Self-Test

- If you answered “yes” in response to any of these statements, you are at risk
for problems with drinking or using drugs. Talk to a counselor or group
facilitator now to gain information to stop any tendency toward further
problems.
- If you answered “yes” in response to 3 or more statements, you definitely
have a problem with alcohol or drugs. Seek help from a counselor or support
group immediately to get the help you need to repair the damage and get
on the right track for your future.
- If you answered “yes” in response to 6 or more statements, you definitely
abuse drugs or alcohol, and you may well be an addict. You need immediate
and comprehensive help to turn your life around. It’s not too late. You need
to see a physician and a drug and alcohol counselor, and you may need to
be admitted to a treatment facility.
