Free Confidential Substance Use Assessment

The DAST-10 (Drug Abuse Screening Test) is a validated, 10-question screening tool used by healthcare professionals to identify individuals who may have drug-related problems. It's a widely recognized, evidence-based assessment that helps determine the severity of substance use concerns and guides appropriate intervention strategies.

The DAST-10 is a scientifically validated screening instrument with strong reliability and validity demonstrated in numerous research studies. However, it's important to understand that this is a screening tool, not a diagnostic test. It's designed to identify potential concerns that warrant further professional evaluation. For a comprehensive diagnosis, consult with a qualified healthcare provider.

Your score ranges from 0 to 10 points. A score of 0 suggests no significant problems, 1-2 indicates low-level concerns, 3-5 represents moderate issues, 6-8 suggests substantial problems, and 9-10 indicates severe concerns requiring immediate professional attention. Each score range includes detailed interpretation and recommended next steps based on clinical guidelines.
