Am I Addicted to Heroin?

Heroin is a dangerous and illegal opioid drug that can quickly lead to addiction. If you’ve used heroin before, assessing your heroin use through a self-screening quiz can be the first step toward finding the life-saving treatment you need.

This self-guided assessment is designed to help you evaluate your level of heroin use — it is not intended to replace a proper, clinical diagnosis of heroin addiction. You can use the results of this assessment as a guide to help you:

• Determine if your heroin use is problematic
• Recognize the signs and symptoms of heroin use disorder
• Seek treatment for heroin addiction if necessary

Review your results with your physician or contact The Recovery Village to discuss your heroin use disorder and learn about options for treatment programs.
