This self-guided assessment is created to help you evaluate the level of your Percocet use, but this quiz is not intended to replace a proper, clinical diagnosis of Percocet addiction. You can use the results of this assessment as a guide to help you determine if your Percocet use is problematic, recognize the signs and symptoms of Percocet use disorder and seek treatment for Percocet addiction if necessary. Review your results with your physician or call The Recovery Village to speak with a representative about your Percocet use disorder and the options for treatment programs.
Am I Addicted to Percocet?
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 Percocet 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're concerned about the prescription drug use of a loved one, take the quiz Is My Loved One Addicted To Prescription Drugs?
