How Severe is your addiction
The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) has delineated six dimensions of dependency diagnoses, which is known as the ASAM criteria. This is a complex set of assessment criteria, which is appropriately attuned to the complexity of human behavior. Addictive behavior may manifest itself in a number of ways. As caring professionals, we must be prepared to meet you at whichever junction you find yourself in the dependency/recovery process.
Let’s take a look at the vital factors of the ASAM criteria that shape the dueling dynamics of addiction and sobriety:
To gauge your level of depression, you must first acknowledge it.
In the spirit of self-empowerment, we have designed the following questionnaire to determine your level of addiction. There are no right or wrong answers, just honesty. We want to know if you are in the experimental phase of substance use, a habitual user, someone in danger of overdose, or an individual struggling with the advanced stages of dependency.
We focus on all stages equally; we just want to know how to address your needs. More importantly: we want you to recognize your addiction for what it is.
No matter where you fall on the spectrum of recovery and dependency, we want to help. Solutions are just a click away – let us know how we can meet you more than halfway!
