Could I have a substance use problem?

Many people use alcohol or other substances socially. When use becomes hard to control or causes harm, it may be worth reflecting and seeking support. This page offers a free educational screening — not a diagnosis.

Common signs of problematic substance use

  • Using more or for longer than intended
  • Unsuccessful efforts to cut down or stop
  • Spending significant time obtaining, using, or recovering from use
  • Cravings or strong urges to use
  • Continued use despite problems at work, home, or health
  • Needing more to get the same effect or reduced effect from the same amount

Could substance use be affecting your life?

This screening supports reflection only. A qualified professional can evaluate substance use and recommend treatment options.
