Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST)

The Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST) is a tool used to identify individuals who may have issues with drug use. It consists of a series of questions that assess how drug use affects a person's life, including their relationships, work, and legal situations. The DAST is designed to help healthcare professionals evaluate the severity of drug-related problems and determine if further assessment or treatment is needed. It’s a straightforward way to understand someone’s drug use patterns and guide them towards the appropriate resources for support and recovery.
