Addiction Treatment has to focus on the addiction not just the addict. Treatment has to be tailored to suit patients as individuals, rather than merely look at the use of one addictive drug or behaviour or another.

Please read these important notes before doing the assessment - Score each question simply as Yes or No but consider each question to be asking, 'Have you ever... (to a significant degree)?'

Even though the questions are now mostly written (for clarity) in the present tense, they should include things that you (or other people) did previously but may have now stopped doing. This gives an outline of your potential (if you were to relapse), rather than indicating only your current state.
