The JA Recovery Self-Assessment Tool: A Judgment-Free First Step
It can be hard to know when to ask for help—especially when it comes to substance use and mental health. Maybe you’ve noticed some changes in your habits. Maybe your relationships are feeling strained, or your coping mechanisms aren’t working like they used to. But you’re not sure what it all means yet—and you’re not sure you’re ready to talk about it with anyone.
At JA Recovery, we understand that space. The in-between. The quiet wondering. The hesitation. That’s why we created the JA Recovery Self-Assessment Tool—a compassionate, person-first way to reflect on your well-being without judgment, labels, or pressure.
This isn’t a clinical checklist or a diagnostic quiz. It’s a simple, private tool you can complete on your own terms. The questions are designed to prompt reflection, not to define you. They're based on real conversations we’ve had with people in all stages of recovery—questions that invite honesty, curiosity, and clarity.
Who Is This For?
This tool is for people who are still exploring their relationship with substances. You don’t need to have the answers. You don’t need to be ready for treatment. You just need to be willing to get honest with yourself. Here are some ideas on who might benefit from the self-assignment:
Anyone who has started to wonder if their current lifestyle is sustainable
Anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or burned out
Anyone concerned about their relationship with substances—or supporting someone who is
What Happens After?
After completing the self-assessment, you’ll have the option to reach out to the JA Recovery team for a free, confidential consultation. There are no automated scores, no red flags, and no pressure. Just a human conversation—if and when you’re ready for one.
Whether you take the next step or simply sit with what comes up, we hope the tool brings clarity, relief, and a reminder that you’re not alone.
Start Where You Are
Healing doesn’t start with a grand decision. It often starts with a quiet moment of truth. Take the self-assessment today—and if you’re ready to talk, we’re here to listen.
