Intervention Readiness Assessment

Answer eight practical questions about impact, escalation, treatment refusal, and family response. You will receive an educational next-step guide—not a diagnosis.

Identify whether the pattern calls for preparation, a professional consultation, or prompt intervention planning.

Private by design: your answers stay in this browser and are not submitted or stored. This educational tool does not diagnose a condition or replace professional assessment.

1The person’s substance use, behavior, or mental health has measurably disrupted work, school, health, parenting, finances, or relationships.
2The family has tried serious conversations, consequences, treatment suggestions, or financial limits without durable change.
3Family members disagree about what is happening or repeatedly undermine one another’s limits.
4The person minimizes the pattern, blames others, conceals information, or refuses an appropriate assessment.
5The situation is escalating in frequency, severity, financial cost, isolation, or risk.
6The family is changing plans, paying bills, covering consequences, or organizing daily life around the problem.
7A realistic treatment or support option would need to be identified before a formal conversation.
8Waiting for the person to “hit bottom” feels increasingly unsafe or irresponsible.

Common questions

Does a high result prove someone has an addiction?

No. The result reflects the family pattern you reported and cannot diagnose any medical, psychiatric, or substance-use condition.

Are my answers stored?

No. The assessment is calculated inside your browser and does not submit or retain your answers.
