Drug use check-in

Ten yes/no questions about drug use in the past 12 months. "Drugs" here means recreational drugs and any misuse of prescription medication — not alcohol, and not medication taken as prescribed.

This is a screening, not a diagnosis. Your answers are scored on your device and are never sent or saved — not even if you ask us to follow up afterwards. For a full picture, talk with a licensed Deaf therapist.

In the past 12 months…

  1. 1Have you used drugs other than those required for medical reasons?
  2. 2Do you use more than one drug at a time?
  3. 3Are you always able to stop using drugs when you want to?

  5. 5Do you ever feel bad or guilty about your drug use?
  6. 6Do your partner or parents ever complain about your involvement with drugs?
  7. 7Have you neglected your family because of your use of drugs?
