The DNA Assessment
Discover which genetic variants put you at higher risk for addiction — and what you can do about it.
What the Assessment Covers
Our clinical-grade genetic assessment examines the key pathways in your Brain Reward Cascade — the neurotransmitter chain that governs dopamine production, receptor sensitivity, and overall reward processing.
What You Get
Your Genetic Risk Score
A clear, easy-to-understand score that summarizes your overall genetic vulnerability to addiction and reward deficiency.
Gene-by-Gene Breakdown

Frequently Asked Questions
What genes does the assessment test for?
Our assessment analyzes 10+ SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) across key neurotransmitter pathways, including dopamine receptor genes (DRD1, DRD2, DRD3, DRD4), dopamine transporter (DAT1), serotonin transporter (5-HTTLPR), GABA genes, COMT, OPRM1, and MOA-A. These are the genes most strongly linked to addiction vulnerability in peer-reviewed research.
How does the cheek swab work?
We mail you a simple collection kit. You swab the inside of your cheek for 30 seconds, place the swab in the provided container, and mail it back in the pre-paid envelope. No needles, no blood, no lab visit.
How long until I get my results?
Results are typically available within [X] business days after the lab receives your sample. You'll receive an email notification when your report is ready.
Is this a diagnostic test?
No. The AddictionDNA assessment is an informational genetic screening. It identifies genetic risk factors but does not diagnose any condition. We recommend reviewing your results with a qualified healthcare provider or one of our certified coaches.
Is my genetic data kept private?
Absolutely. Your genetic data is processed by a CLIA-certified lab and is never sold or shared with third parties. You own your data, and you can request its deletion at any time.
Can I use this if I'm already in recovery?
Yes. Many people in recovery find that understanding their genetic predispositions helps explain their experience and opens the door to more targeted, effective support — including DNA-matched supplements and personalized coaching.
