Our Mission
DNA4Addiction empowers you to take control of your health by informing you of your elevated or moderate risk to develop an opioid dependence. Our genetic testing gives you the power to make decisions that are right for you providing awareness that allows one to stop a drug problem before it starts.
When it comes to opioids, there is not a definitive yes or no of whether you will fall victim to substance abuse. However, our tests provide information that allows you to be aware, be proactive, and exercise control over your overall health. DNA4Addiction is at the forefront of revolutionizing drug abuse prevention and treatment with our direct-to-consumer gene testing kit.
Our mission is simple: We aim to empower individuals and families with the tools they need to take control of their health and manage their potential for drug abuse proactively.
Historically, options to determine genetic predispositions to drug abuse have been limited. Recognizing this critical gap, DNA4Addiction developed a DNA testing kit that analyzes genetic markers for predisposition to opioid dependence. Our experienced team of drug treatment specialists boasting a collective 30 years of expertise, coupled with scientific experts with over 20 years of genetics experience, work to ensure accurate and reliable results.
How Does It Work?
You can check out our resource pages about the levels of risks and what you can do when you receive a result of High risk, Moderate risk, or Reduced risk. We also offer a parent’s guide to understanding the results of any DNA tests conducted on their children.
Opioid Abuse in America
Opioid overdoses claim the lives of more than 128 people every day in the U.S. alone. These staggering numbers highlight the urgent need for proactive measures to address opioid addiction. This is affirmed by findings from U.S. News & World Report, which revealed that two-thirds of individuals surveyed were directly impacted by addiction or its devastating consequences. Opioid addiction is a pervasive issue affecting countless families across the nation.
Scientists estimate that genes play a significant role in an individual’s risk of addiction, ranging from a 40% to 60% difference in influence. Genetic testing for opioid addiction predisposition could be a crucial step in identifying and addressing this multifaceted problem. By empowering families with knowledge of their own genetic risk factors, DNA4Addiction aims to provide resources to prevent and mitigate the devastating effects of opioid addiction within communities.
