Veteran Addiction Self-Assessment: Find Out If You Need Help

How This Self-Assessment Works

This short quiz includes questions about your behavior, habits, and how substance use may be affecting your daily life. It takes less than 2 minutes and is 100% confidential—no information is stored or shared.

Why Take an Addiction Quiz?

Many U.S. military Veterans face a unique set of challenges after service—including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic pain, combat-related trauma, depression, and difficulty adjusting to civilian life. These experiences can increase the risk of substance use and addiction. Whether it’s alcohol, prescription medications, or illicit drugs, substance use often becomes a way to cope with physical and emotional pain. This addiction quiz is designed to help you recognize early warning signs of substance use disorder, identify harmful patterns, and determine whether it may be time to seek professional help. If you or a loved one is a Veteran experiencing these issues, taking this self-assessment is a private, judgment-free way to take the first step toward recovery.
