Your Results
Your Score Doesn’t Define You.
This assessment is simply one way to look at the role alcohol may be playing in your life. Whatever your score, recognizing that something may need to change can be an important first step.
This result is educational and is not a diagnosis. A healthcare professional can provide a complete evaluation.
Let’s Check Your Safety.
Stopping alcohol suddenly can be dangerous for some people. These questions are separate from your assessment score and help identify situations where medical or immediate support may be important.
When was your last drink?
Please Consider Medical Support Before Stopping Alcohol Suddenly.
Some responses can indicate a higher risk of serious alcohol withdrawal. Withdrawal can sometimes require medical supervision.
Recovery coaching can be part of longer-term support, but it is not a substitute for medical detoxification or emergency medical care.
