What level of care might fit your situation?

Based on the ASAM Criteria — the framework most U.S. treatment programs and insurers actually use to decide what level of care someone needs.

This is not an assessment or a diagnosis. Only a trained clinician can make an actual ASAM placement decision. This tool exists to help you walk into that conversation already understanding roughly what range you're likely in — so you can ask sharper questions and recognize if a program is over- or under-treating you.

First, one important question.

Question 1 of 6

Based on past experience (or what you know of your situation), how severe is withdrawal likely to be?

Question 2 of 6

Do you have other medical conditions that might need monitoring (heart or liver disease, pregnancy, other serious conditions)?

Question 3 of 6

Are you currently dealing with a mental health condition (depression, anxiety, trauma, psychosis) that feels hard to manage on its own?

Question 4 of 6

Is your living situation supportive of recovery right now?

Question 5 of 6

Have you tried outpatient treatment (appointments, not living at a facility) before?

Question 6 of 6

Do you need to keep working, caring for kids, or holding other daily responsibilities during treatment?

Bring this result to a real assessment — with a doctor, an addiction medicine specialist, or by calling 1-800-662-4357 (SAMHSA National Helpline) or using FindTreatment.gov. The people doing the actual placement will ask more detailed questions than this tool can, and their answer is the one that matters.
