This is a list of questions provided to us from Johns Hopkins Medicine that can help determine if we or someone we love is struggling with substance abuse. If you or someone you love answers yes to one of these questions, we encourage you to take the next step and talk someone about your answers. Getting a substance abuse evaluation can help give you or your loved one direction to begin to deal with the issue. It can be difficult for us or our loved ones to see how our use of a substance is no longer "just" use and has now become abuse. The Brief CAGE questionnaire is used by many substance abuse treatment providers to screen for substance abuse. This is a great place to start, but remember it is just the start. Please reach out to us or your local provider if you need help! Take care and thanks for reading.
