What Is the CAGE Assessment For Alcohol Or Drug Problem?

The C.A.G.E. assessment is a preliminary tool used by clinicians in screening for alcohol or drug addiction. The evaluation is based on a simple questionnaire consisting of four questions. In fact, C.A.G.E. is an acronym that stands for the following subjects of the four questions that comprise the test that is used for the assessment:

C – Cutting down on alcohol use

A – Annoyance from criticism about alcohol use

G – Guilt feelings about alcohol use

E – Eye-opening by having a drink in the morning to overcome a hangover

How the CAGE Test is Used

The CAGE test for preliminary profiling is not designed for use to self-diagnose a drug or alcohol problem. Licensed clinicians use the test as a helpful screening tool. Only such a healthcare professional has the expertise to diagnose an alcohol problem that can be used to prescribe a treatment program.

The Four CAGE Test Questions

Below are the four universally used questions that make up the CAGE questionnaire. People respond “Yes” or “No.”

The test can be modified for use in either drug or alcohol use assessments. For the alcohol questionnaire, the test administrator inserts the word “drinking,” as we have done below for the purpose of our example. For the drug use questionnaire, the tester instead inserts the words “drug use.”

CAGE Test:

Have you ever felt you should cut down on your drinking?
Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?
Have you ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking?
Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or get rid of a hangover (eye-opener)?

How is the CAGE Test Score Calculated?

For each “Yes” answer, 1 point is added to the total score, and for each “No” answer, 0 points are added. A total of 2 points or above for the total score is evaluated as significant and a possible indicator of an alcohol problem.

What Should I Do With My CAGE Test Results?

The CAGE test should not be considered a conclusive test for the diagnosis of an alcohol problem, and it is not meant for self-assessment. It is designed for use with other evaluative processes employed by treatment specialists.

If you suspect that you or a loved one might be exhibiting signs of an alcohol problem or a drug abuse issue, contact Renaissance Recovery Center for information and help.

What Our Clients are Saying

Before I found Renaissance, I was completely lost and had no idea where to even begin. In my own words, I was feral—overwhelmed, terrified, and drowning in emotions I didn’t know how to manage. But the moment I walked through the doors of Renaissance, everything began to change. The unwavering support of the staff and my fellow group members helped me start healing the parts of myself I thought were gone forever, buried by trauma and addiction. What I quickly learned is that I didn’t have to do it alone—in fact, that’s exactly what not to do.The staff at Renaissance is deeply committed to this fight. They don’t just care; they walk alongside you every step of the way. Since making the life-changing decision to enter the program, my world has transformed in ways I could never have imagined. I am forever grateful for the Renaissance community, (especially Daisy🐶) and the incredible growth and healing they have helped me achieve. Renaissance truly saved my life, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone who is battling any addiction.

As the spouse of someone who has been in long-term recovery for 11 years, thanks to Renaissance Recovery Center, I can't recommend this program enough. While my partner was battling addiction, I felt lost and unsure how to best support them.That's when I discovered Renaissance Recovery Center's friends and family program. For 18 months, I learned invaluable tools and gained a deeper understanding of co-dependency and how to navigate the complexities of addiction recovery. It wasn't just about supporting my partner; it was also a journey of self-discovery. Steve, the program leader, is an absolute gift. His expertise and genuine compassion create a safe space for growth. He masterfully guides families through the recovery process, not just focusing on the addict but on the entire support system.This program transformed my life. I learned how to set healthy boundaries, prioritize my own well-being, and ultimately, become a happier person. Today, I am eternally grateful for the positive impact Renaissance Recovery Center has had on both our lives.If you're seeking a spiritual and holistic approach to addiction recovery for yourself or a loved one, look no further than Renaissance Recovery Center. It's a life-changing experience.

The work being done at RRC is life changing. I was NOT a fan at first. Went there kicking and screaming. After a little bit Steve and his staff's teachings really started to reach my heart and those dark places in my mind. While I cannot say I was a star student, now, several years removed, I am still recounting some of the teachings and tools I learned there at RRC. I am sober and my relationships, job and life are better than ever. Steve you were and remain a blessing to me and my family.

This place helped save my family member. That family member has tried close to a dozen other places for over a decade with minimal success. The staff here helped create a community they could connect with and a structure to do the actual work of recovery. It allowed them to dive into the recovery process in safe but effective way, not judging, and leaving NO room for excuses.Update on my family member, a little over one year after entering the program they are now over one year sober, thriving in their career, in a stable relationship, and have grown in multiple ways. The road to recovery is life long, but they are on a solid path forward. My family will forever be in the debt to the good people at Renaissance Recovery Center.

The program at Renaissance is amazing. Steve Brown and his staff care for and support not only the recovering addict but the family as well. The family group that is offered to family members throughout the program makes such a difference. We don't have the family and life we have today without the help of Renaissance. I can't recommend this program enough.

Renaissance is everything and more when it came to my recovery. Steve, Dan, Nils, Chad & Lindsay are the real deal. They care about you, they care about your well being, they care about you untangling and un-rooting what causes us to use.I was a highly functioning alcoholic for the better part of 20+ years and through their guidance I was able to dig deep, self reflect through their teachings to understand that I didn’t have to hold onto my personal shame, turmoil, anger, anxiety and every negative adjective that describes what we go through as addicts and was able to work through and release that pain so I didn’t keep running back to the bottle. They saved my life and I mean that literally. I had the pleasure of making some great friendships and create a brotherhood with some of the men I was in recovery in as well and we are active in our community still and it all stemmed from Renaissance.Thank you Steve for everything. Phenomenal leader who leads with love (but not weak) and truly cares about you and helping you lift every burden that we’ve carried for all those years. I’m forever grateful.

Renaissance Recovery saved my life. I was at a point in life where alcohol to my body was as essential as air, and I couldn't stop. I was powerless over alcohol. My body was failing and my relationships with family, friends, and coworkers was crumbling. Out of desperation for help, I found Renaissance Recovery with an online search and decided to just make a call. I felt like it was my last call for help at that point. I was immediately greeted with love and compassion with an urgency to help me. Throughout my recovery at Renaissance Recovery I learned how to change my life. At 43 years old, my life now is completely different to how I lived before. I've learned how to be open and honest, how to build and maintain meaningful relationships, to find gratitude and joy in every moment of life, and how to fill my life with happiness. A lifelong weight was released from my shoulders when I finally got to the point in the recovery process of accepting that I was powerless over alcohol and understanding and doing what was needed to live a happy life while maintain sobriety. The program at Renaissance Recovery works! You just need to be willing to do the work they outline for you and be willing to participate. It's a miracle what they've put together here. It not only saved my life, but the lives of my children, not having to grow up with an alcoholic father. I am 641 days sober today and this is the happiest I've ever been in 43 years. My health is good now and my home is full of love and stability. I literally owe my life to Renaissance Recovery, that is how impactful they have been to my life. If you are struggling with a drug or alcohol addiction, this program is THE solution to help you get your life back. The people at Renaissance Recovery are my family now, I have developed life-long friendships from there, that is how connected you become through the program. Thank you Renaissance Recovery!!!

Renaissance Recovery Center helped me so I could heal and get back to the real me. I can honestly say they saved my life. Steve is very caring and compassionate and loving and he and his team are there to help you get back to being a whole person again. All of the staff was and is wonderful. Alumni are really encouraged to take advantage of RRC’s active ongoing healing community. I hope I can make it to the next graduation!

This place has aided me in achieving one of my greatest accomplishments in life. They have helped me to live my best life, and offer me the hope of a promising and sincere future. I did not know that such positivity and hope existed in this world, and my only regret is that I did not contact them sooner. I am forever grateful to the staff and alumni from this place. I could not recommend a place more than Renaissance for those seeking sobriety and hope.

Going to Reinassance Recovery was the best decision I made for my recovery. From the first call I made to Steve to my aftercare graduation, Reinassance Recovery has been a foundation to my life today. I met a group of women in the IOP program who have become my best friends today. The accountability and support I found in there, was really what changed and saved my life. The therapists are great and we're always available when I needed anything, whether it be a letter for court or just someone to talk to. Reinassance Recovery will always be home away from home for me. Forever grateful for this program and their staff.

The first time I encountered Renaissance Recovery, I was not willing to let go of the way I chose to live my life, even though I was dying a slow death. I did not think that I was worth anything more and I had no hope. The second time I encountered Renaissance Recovery, I stayed and completed the program! And because of the program and ALL the staff...I KNOW today that I am worthy of my beautiful life, Renaissance Recovery, has given to myself and my daughters! And I have HOPE on a daily basis!

Renaissance Recovery is the real deal! They get down to causes and conditions and use a compassionate approach to effect change. I’ve known Steve Brown for over 17 years, and his loving influence showed me I was worthy of change and a life of long term recovery.

The men running this program are the real deal. Very competent in treating substance use disorders. Very experienced staff. Steve helped my brother find himself and heal. For that I am grateful. Keep on keeping on guys.

Preston Dixon

20:15 03 Dec 23

I will attempt to describe in words what Renaissance has meant for me in my life. People that truly care about you as a person and about your recovery. The ability to connect and uncover the real pain that may have led you astray in life. If you’re struggling with substance abuse, I would recommend a place that can start you on the path to true freedom and inner peace, that place is Renaissance! The level of care provided is life changing. If you’re in a tough place, looking for a way to dig yourself out, look for a place with the people who not only have the expertise in the field but who you can call family

Graduate of this IOP and 20 months sober. The thoroughness of the program delved into the core of me and helped me find myself again. I strongly recommend Renaissance Recovery. Steve holds you accountable and keeps you in his heart like family. He has helped me and my family multiple times. He is just a phone call away. If you need help, this is where you need to be.

Just over six months ago, I realize that my life was a complete mess. Being chemical dependent and carrying so much shame and guilt. It caused so many issues in my life. I tried doing it on my own so many different times I couldn’t even count. It greatly affected my family life, my marriage, my work life and was damaging myself and loved ones around me. I searched a couple other IOP‘s and actually attended one out in Mesa, I’ll keep them disclosed, but I can’t share my experience there. It seemed as if I was just another number there.My mother had done some research though on Renaissance and told me to reach out to them so I set up an appointment and came in and met with Stephanie. From immediately walking in the front door through intake process I felt that I had found the right place already. She was so kind and comfortable to talk to and was confident that I could get the help that I needed there. She was so right. I started group the next week and boy was I in for. A wonderful experience! Steve and Dan ran groups in such a different way than I’ve ever experienced, and truly showed their passion and care For their clients here! I was able to also get therapy through Lindsey there who was amazing and helping me deal with all my buried shame and guilt so that I could be free of the chains that kept me tied to my chemical dependency. They also offered on weekends. Back to basics a 12 step program which I took and was able to get through the steps in five weeks to find freedom. Dan and Steve are trust worthy people that I am so grateful to have found and I can’t leave out Mills who help me stay accountable with drug screenings. I can truly say that these people are my forever family. I know their recovery and how to walk people through difficult times in their life to find freedom from their hurts habits and hang ups in life. Much love, Graham.

This place saved my life. I completed a 3 month outpatient program at Renaissance after a 6 year meth addiction. This was my first rehab experience. Steve, Dan and the other amazing staff created an environment that allowed me to be honest and expose my truth (for the first time in my life) allowing us to get to the root of my trauma and then carefully have been helping me rebuild a new life of sobriety. The program doesn’t end after your outpatient program is complete, they continue to provide support through meetings and events. My gratitude runs deep and I love these people.

The group at RRC is outstanding. You will learn to access a solution to fix things in your life that feel upside down. Steve and the rest of the crew are dynamic in helping you steer the ship in the right direction. Sail on my bros!

Renaissance is a game changer!! It was the greatest move I have ever made. At 53 years old and lifetime of abuse I was sure nothing would change me; I thought my situation was unique. I started IOP with an open mind and as I grew more and more my life started to get clearer. I have over 10 months now and going strong. Renaissance saved my life and gave me hope. Thank you!~James R

These folks seriously do the lords work. I've been to a few treatment places, and none made me actually convinced that the staff cared about me the way Rennisance did. They helped me stay safe, they are there any time you need to call, the facility is open and designed to just use as a hang out spot outside of sessions. Pool table and everything! I learned most of my strongest recovery tools here. I've got 11 months and some change of sobriety now, and I owe so much of that to Rennisance.

Steve brown is a WEALTH of knowledge… having personally dealt with both addiction to substances AND mental illness. We have looked into many resources and feel that Steve has a greater understanding than any other resources we have found. He is incredibly generous with his time and truly is in this work to heal and help those struggling with addiction. Is a heaven sent that we found him and the resources offered at renascence ranch AZ.

Renaissance Recovery is an empathetic, loving, supportive, realistic and holistic breath of fresh air in the valley's recovery community. Each employee that works there has your success and support as their number one goal. For those looking for hope, answers and solutions there is no finer establishment. I have witnessed absolute miracles happen in the rooms at Renaissance. Don't over think it.......give them a call! 🙏

As a treatment provider, I’ve been aware of Renaissance Recovery Center for many years. I know Steve both personally and have worked with him professionally. I would highly recommend this program to anyone needing help with substance use challenges. Renaissance is caring, compassionate, and committed to providing the highest level of treatment. The team is experienced and uniquely skilled. They will always put the needs of each person first. If I need to make a referral in the Phoenix area, Renaissance is at the top of my list. If you need help, don’t hesitate to call Steve. Renaissance Recovery Center does it the right way.

Mike Brown

00:54 13 Oct 22

Steve is an absolutely remarkable guy! I felt I got more benefit after a 30 minute assessment than I have from other providers in a very long time. His foundation is clearly built upon the genuine care and concern for those he serves, and his understanding and support for those in recovery is beyond reproach. Thank you!

Stephen Connolly

19:22 17 May 22

Having known Steve Brown for many years, and seeing his dedication to the service of those struggling with addiction and life disruptions, I know he and his team are dedicated to helping anyone searching to move from difficult times towards a more inspired and purposeful future.

There are 2 kinds of life savers. Those lil circular mints and renaissance recovery center. One freshens your breath, the other freshens every aspect of your life!! Everything about this place is top notch. From the facilities where groups are held, down to couches in the lobby and everything in between. There are no words for how incredible the staff is. From the first intake call on the phone down to your last graduation ceremony where not only the whole staff from RRC comes to support you, but the lifelong friends you make throughout your journey. I’ve done my fair share of treatment programs. This one tops them all. With that being said, I WILL NEVER BE BACK…as a client!! But you can bet your circular mint chewin’ beehind that I’ll be back every week for the alumni meeting!! Let’s get. Renaissance on 3!1…2…3!RENAISSANCE!!!!!

01:31 11 May 22

I have been in touch with Steve for a few months now. All I can say is that if you or a loved one are struggling with addiction there are people who will understand you, and when I called this place for the first time I finally felt understood. Addiction is complex and if you have concerns, one phone call can change your life. Start having a conversation. Don’t suffer in silence. Educate yourself about addiction and all it’s complexities. It starts with you and this place will help you.

Erin Ware

17:30 07 Feb 22

Absolutely hands down the epitome model of what real caring for individuals with addiction looks like. This is not a run of the mill experience with just a clinical look but with a deep understanding of addiction and what recovery looks like. Caring, compassionate, highly effective program that comes with support that is above and beyond after graduation.

Paola Palacios

20:57 17 Dec 21

It is seldom that in a hard time you think you will gain from the experience, but because of this phenomenal center that is exactly what I got. Learned so much about myself as well as learned I’m not alone in my struggles. I made lifelong friends that walk beside me through it all and I with them. The staff is beyond compare! They’re there for you through thick and thin. They honestly and truly care with love understanding and respect. Zero guilt pushed just genuine looking out. So happy I chose this path with these amazing people.

16:40 16 Dec 21

Highly recommend!! 5 stars!!! Great staff who took the time to get to know me. They have a lot of experience in this field and have first hand experience with what I was going through. IOP is outstanding and really built up a ton of great relationships and found this program to be a ‘breath of fresh air’. They got a lot of love and empathy and will always go the extra mile to help their clients!When I first called Renassaince Recovery to ask some questions, someone locally answered and spent time with me just talking. No big admissions call center! I knew this was place for me after that first call!I encourage anyone reading this, if you think you have a problem and need help Renaissance Recovery is a safe place and will change your life! Their program works… if you make the decision and take suggestions.

I want to say thank you so so much to Steve. Thank you doesn’t truly express my gratitude. I called Renaissance as a broken-hearted grandmother to my grandson. We just found out at 22 years old he has Alcoholic Hepatitis. We had no idea he was even drinking. Steve calmed me down where I felt cared about and understood. I am so grateful that I have hope for a complete recovery for my precious grandson. Thank you and may God continue to Bless you and your staff.A Crenshaw

I was introduced to Renaissance Recovery Center in June of 2020 when my husband decided to join their IOP program. As a spouse of someone who has battled addiction of all sorts for our entire 18yr relationship, I was not very convinced that this program would change anything but he was so sure this was where he needed to be so I agreed to it. I am so thankful that I chose to support my husband and his decision to partake in this program because it completely changed our life for the better. For the first time since we were 18yrs old, I finally saw the man I fell in love with coming back to life. This program, Steve, Dan, Lindsay, Nils and many of the men that my husband met in this group truly saved his life and our family. Ryan just celebrated 8months sober from everything and on 2/17/21 he celebrates 1 yr sober from opiates ( which was his achilles heel) Renaissance took the time to invest in Ryan and Ryan gave his all to Renaissance and the outcome of this relationship is one that changed his course in life for the better. Ryan finally got down to the core of why he did things that he did and learned how to cope in different ways which led him back to a much stronger relationship with God and a core group of men that he continues to grow with and support throughout their individual recoveries. I am forever grateful to Steve and Lindsay especially as they played such a HUGE ROLE in helping Ryan deal with all his trauma and addiction. If you or someone you love struggles with addiction, I highly recommend Renaissance!! I have never seen anyone more genuine in their calling to help others as what Steve and his team are to the individuals in their programs. Thank you for saving my family and showing Ryan what it means to LIVE a full and meaningful life outside of addiction.

"Sick and tired of being sick and tired". "Wanna get clean and sober but don't know how". These were my thoughts to myself before coming to Renaissance in June of 2020. Renaissance was literally a God-Send for me and my family. I had struggled with addiction(s) for almost 20 years and it was destroying my life. I did a lot of research about different programs but ALWAYS kept coming back to Renaissance for some reason. After my initial call with Steve I understood why right away. The team is truly one of a kind and the family atmosphere is felt right away. Steve, Lindsay, Dan, Chad, and Nils all will forever have an impact on my life. The thoughtfulness, caring, genuine emotional support, and knowledge that they provided and gave to me is exactly what I was looking for in a program. Words can't express what their program did for me and the gift of recovery/sobriety that they helped me gain for the 1st time in almost 20 years. I will always be in recovery and with their help and support I have a GREAT foundation and tools to work with to continue what they started from here on out. From the bottom of my heart (My wife and soon to be 4 boys hearts) I/we say THANK YOU for helping me get my life back and so much more!!Ryan Wisniewski

I came to Renaissance bruised and battered by my own doing. Monday, January 4, 2021 is my last day of IOP. I now look back and see how different of a person I am. This is thanks to Chad, Dan, Steve, and Nils (and team). These men are the epitome of compassion, passion, and love (true Agape). I bonded with each and every one of them as they work tirelessly to help bring recovery and peace to us all. I have met amazing brothers in this program. I will never forget speaking to Steve on the morning of September 8, 2020. He immediately took me in as one of his own (he called me "brother", which had such a profound impact on my soul). I could feel his love and I knew immediately that this was my message from God (whom I was without for many years). I look forward to being in the aftercare program. I feel as though these gentlemen are an extension of my family. I am forever grateful for everything they have taught me and for helping me to become the better man I am today.

At first I was hesitant to start recovery because I didn’t feel my addiction was as severe and I thought I could overcome Alcoholism on my own. Once I started with Renaissance I immediately felt surrounded by people who genuinely cared about me as a person and wanted to help me along my journey to recovery. I quickly realized that this was the right place to receive the help I needed to recover and that I couldn’t do it on my own. They gave me the necessary support and helped me realize that I couldn’t overcome my addiction by myself. They allowed me to dig deep into what would trigger me to drink and helped me to understand more about myself and the reasons I was drinking. I felt educated about this disease and it made me realize I wasn’t alone in my recovery. I feel like a new person and it gave me power and confidence to move on and be myself again. Steve and Chad helped me to open up and admit that I needed to do this for myself and I couldn’t do it for others. During group meetings I felt comfortable and connected to other people going through the similar situations. It enabled me to express my struggles and feelings about this addiction that I had never shared with anyone. Before coming to Renaissance Recovery, I did not open up or trust people as I do now and it has allowed me to build closer relationships with family and friends. I would highly recommend the Renaissance team because they truly provide an individualized experience and care about every person that comes through their door.

Renaissance is an incredible establishment!! Every single counselor will get to know you, and help you with your own personal struggles. I’ve never met more caring people in any other recovery program. This is the first time that I have truly been confident in my recovery and have began to understand the process! Almost one year sober and the counselors still check in on me! I can’t say thank you enough to Steve, Lindsay, Dan, and Chad! You guys are amazing!!

Finding Renaissance Recovery Center was a Godsend for our family! My daughter was in a safe and supportive environment that helped her succeed in her recovery. The staff are amazing...Chad, Lindsay and Steve, I can't say enough about about what they do. They're a Family, and they treat not only their clients as family but all the rest of us that are involved and going through this our loved ones!!

I would highly recommend Renissance! It’s a family that you never knew you had or needed. They saved my life and I am forever grateful.
