You should refer someone to rehab if you believe you or someone you know may have a substance use issue. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) has developed 11 criteria for SUD diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). The criteria include:

• Taking the substance for long periods of time or in larger amounts than intended.
• Being unable to cut down or stop substance use.
• Spending a lot of time obtaining, using, and recovering from the effects of the substance.
• Experiencing cravings, or intense desires or urges for the substance.
• Failing to fulfill obligations at home, work, or school due to substance use.
• Continuing substance use despite having interpersonal or social problems that are caused or worsened by substance use.
• Giving up social, recreational, or occupational activities due to substance use.
• Using the substance in risky or dangerous situations.
• Continuing substance use despite having a physical or mental problem that is probably due to substance use.
• Tolerance, or needing more of the substance to achieve previous effects.
• Withdrawal, meaning that unpleasant symptoms occur when you stop using your substance of choice.
