Drug Addiction

Test

 

Completing The Drug & Substance Abuse Screening Test

This test is a modified DAST screening questionnaire designed for the family or friends of a possible drug abuser. The score is not intended as a diagnosis or as a recommendation of care. This screening test was originally designed for a person that might have a substance & drug abuse problem. The questions in this quiz have been modified slightly for family or friends to answer about their loved one. Please answer the questions to the best of your ability as they relate to what you have observed and experienced from your loved one in the last 12-24 Months. Please answer all of the questions and give the best answer or answers that are right most of the time. (we also have a Alcoholism Test if you think someone you know has an alcohol abuse problem)
