The DAST-10 is a validated 10-item screening tool used by healthcare professionals to identify drug use problems. It has 85% accuracy for detecting substance use disorders and provides clinical cutoffs for severity levels.
We recommend: Complete this screening with a healthcare provider, therapist, or addiction specialist who can properly interpret results and discuss next steps.
Why Professional Screening Matters:
Most PCPs can administer DAST-10 and provide referrals. Often covered by insurance.
Licensed addiction counselors and therapists specialize in substance use assessment.
Low-cost or free screening and treatment services based on income.
Some platforms offer substance use counseling and screening remotely.
It's not about willpower: Substance use disorders are medical conditions, not moral failures. They change brain chemistry and require professional treatment.
Recovery is possible: Millions of people achieve lasting recovery with the right support. Treatment works.
Early intervention matters: The sooner you address concerns, the better the outcomes. Don't wait for "rock bottom."
You deserve compassionate care: Stigma is the enemy, not you. Seek judgment-free professional support.
