Is My Loved One’s Substance Use Concerning?

Focus on what you have seen and what support you need.

This is a self-reflection, not a validated screening test. It has no diagnostic score and cannot decide which treatment you need.

Start the check-in

Before you begin

Think about an adult loved one. Check observations, not guesses about a diagnosis. You can leave items blank or stop at any time. More checked boxes do not equal a diagnosis or a higher level of care.

No name, email, or phone number is needed. This check-in does not send your choices to admissions or save them in browser storage. General website analytics may still operate. Use a private device when possible. Printing may leave a copy on your device or printer. You choose whether to contact Alpine.

Need urgent help? If someone is in immediate danger, cannot be woken, has trouble breathing, has a seizure, or may have overdosed, call 911. For suicidal thoughts or emotional crisis in the U.S., call 988. Do not wait for an online result or an admissions call. These tools are not monitored.

Your check-in

Select the items you want help with. Then choose “Show my next steps.” If you prefer, read the guidance below without making any selections.

You can still read each item and the next steps below. Interactive results need JavaScript.

What your answers can help you discuss

You cannot diagnose someone from observations. You can describe concerns, set boundaries, and seek your own support.

I have noticed missed responsibilities or major changes in routine.

Write down a specific example without labels or accusations.

We have repeated conflict about alcohol or drugs.

Plan a calm conversation when everyone is sober and safe.

My loved one seems impaired or unwell after use.

If they cannot be woken or have trouble breathing, call 911.

They say they want to cut back but have trouble doing so.

Offer to help them connect with a qualified provider.

I feel pressure to hide problems or fix the consequences.

Talk with a counselor about boundaries and your own support.

I feel unsafe around their behavior.

Make your safety the first step. Get help from emergency services if danger is immediate.

Choose one small step

Try: I care about you. I noticed ____. I am worried about ____. Would you be willing to talk with a professional?

Words you can use: “I have noticed a change. I would like help understanding it and making a safe plan.”

Common questions

What if I did not check anything?

That does not rule out a concern. You may still ask a qualified professional about anything that worries you.

Who sees my choices?

This check-in does not submit your choices to Alpine. It does not alert a clinician. If you want help, contact a provider yourself.

Can this tell me whether I need residential care?

No. A care provider needs to consider your health, safety, daily life, support, and preferences before recommending treatment.
