This self-guided assessment is created to help you evaluate the level of your Meth use, but this quiz is not intended to replace a proper, clinical diagnosis of Meth addiction. You can use the results of this assessment as a guide to help you determine if your Meth use is problematic, recognize the signs and symptoms of a Meth use disorder and seek treatment for Meth addiction if necessary. Review your results with your physician or call The Recovery Village to speak with a representative about your Meth use disorder and the options for treatment programs.
Am I Addicted to Meth?
This quiz is a self-guided assessment that has been created from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders which is the standard criteria for diagnosing mental health and substance use disorders. This assessment contains “yes” or “no” questions relative to your Meth use during the last 12 months. If you’re looking for answers about an alcohol use disorder, this quiz does not contain questions about alcohol abuse, you can take this quiz for alcoholism instead. If you are concerned a loved one is taking illicit drugs, take our Is My Loved One Addicted To Illicit Drugs?
