Do you have a problem
with
drugs or alcohol?
The following questions (called the UNCOPE test) are very reliable
in the diagnosis of alcohol and drug abuse and dependence.
| 1. |
Have you
frequently Used more drugs or alcohol than you intended? |
| 2. |
Have you sometimes
Neglected your obligations as a result of using drugs or alcohol? |
| 3. |
Have you attempted
to Cut down on your use several times? |
| 4. |
Have people
in your life Objected to your drug or alcohol use? |
| 5. |
Do you find
that you are sometimes Preoccupied (you look forward to your
first drink when you are doing something else) with drinking
or drug use? |
| 6. |
Do you drink
or use drugs in response to Emotional situations? |
If you score 2 or more affirmative answers there is a possibility
that you are drug or alcohol dependent. If you score 4 or more you
may well have a serious problem.
