If you would like to know if you are drinking more alcohol than is healthy, then take part in our short questionnaire below (for people aged 16 years and over).
Depending on your final score, we will provide you with some helpful and reliable information on what to do next.
The first and most difficult step for people who misuse drugs is to recognise that they have a problem, and then admit that they need help to deal with it. Some people realise that they have a problem but find it hard to stop taking the drug, even though they are aware of the consequences. Others may need someone else to help them realise that they have a problem. Signs that a person may have a drug problem or addiction include: continually increasing the dose of drugs to get the same effect, a feeling of dependency on drugs or a fear of stopping using drugs, withdrawal symptoms if they stop taking the drug for a short time, sudden mood changes, a negative or changed outlook on life, a loss of motivation, poor performance at work or college, problems with personal relationships, borrowing or stealing money from friends and family, and being secretive about activities and actions.
Next steps See your GP as soon as you recognise you have a drug problem. They can give you advice and support and refer you for specialist treatment. Be honest with your GP about your drug use and your reasons for wanting to give it up. You may also want to tell close family and friends about your decision and ask them for their support. There are a number of organisations that offer information and advice, such as details of support groups and meetings in your area. FRANK provides a free, confidential helpline that offers information about drugs and drug abuse and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call 0800 776600 or go to the FRANK website.
