Alcohol Use Assessment
This questionnaire may be used to help identify alcohol dependence and specific consequences of harmful drinking. Please answer all questions as honestly and openly as possible and choose the following answers that best describe your feelings and situation in the past 30 days. If you are taking this on behalf of a loved one, please note that all of these questions will be phrased as if that person were taking this screening. If suggested, contact us as soon as you can.
Please note, this screening does not serve as a diagnosis tool but can aid your clinician in determining our recommended course of action.
