1. Not Medical Advice

Nothing on this website is medical, psychological, or clinical advice. Our content is provided for general educational and informational purposes only.

The information on this site is not intended to, and does not, create a doctor-patient, therapist-client, or any other professional relationship between you and AddictionCheck.com or anyone associated with it.

2. Our Checks Are Not Diagnostic Tools

Our checks are self-reflection exercises, not diagnostic tests. They are not validated clinical screening instruments, and they do not tell you whether you have an addiction, a disorder, or a medical condition.

A result of High Concern does not mean you have an addiction. It means the patterns you described are common in behaviors worth paying closer attention to. Only a qualified professional can assess your situation and offer a diagnosis or treatment plan.

3. Not a Substitute for Professional Care

You should not disregard, delay, or avoid seeking professional medical or mental health advice because of something you read or experienced on this website.

If you have concerns about your health, your habits, or your mental wellbeing, please consult a qualified healthcare or mental health professional. They can provide guidance that is specific to you, which this website cannot.

4. In an Emergency

If you are in crisis, or if you are worried about your own or someone else's immediate safety, do not rely on this website. Contact local emergency services right away, or reach out to a crisis or support helpline in your area.

Our check results include links to crisis and support resources, including resources tailored for teenagers. These are provided for convenience only and are not a replacement for immediate professional help in an emergency.

5. Accuracy and Currency

We work to keep our content accurate and up to date, but we make no guarantees about its completeness, accuracy, reliability, or suitability for any purpose. Health and addiction research evolves, and information on this site may not always reflect the most recent findings.

You are responsible for evaluating the information and seeking professional guidance where appropriate.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, AddictionCheck.com, its owners, and its contributors are not liable for any loss, harm, or damage arising from your use of this website or your reliance on any of its content, including the results of any check.

Your use of this website is at your own risk.

7. Third-Party Links

Our site links to external organizations and resources, including crisis and support services. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party website. Reviewing their terms and policies is your responsibility.
