  • (3) Do you have tremors and use substances to relieve withdrawal symptoms?
  • (4) Are you able to take more drug without easing the pain?
  • (5) Do you neglect food, hygiene or health care?
  • (6) Are you willing to continue use the drug despite knowledge of problems caused, or exacerbated by it?
