Addiction genomics
Understand your addiction vulnerability — with clarity, not stigma.
Addiction has a real genetic component: reward pathways, how you experience substances, and how your body clears them. Understanding your profile replaces shame with information — for prevention, recovery, and supporting the people you love.
What you’ll learn
- Dopamine reward-pathway signals linked to susceptibility
- How you may respond to opioids and to nicotine
- Alcohol metabolism and flush-response genetics
- Stress-response factors that interact with substance use
- Where prevention and support can be focused for you or family
Why it matters
Genetics can account for a meaningful share of addiction risk. Understanding it isn't a verdict — it's a tool for prevention, for more informed recovery, and for compassion.
This is especially powerful for families: because risk is inherited, one person's insight can help protect the whole household, including kids.
Example genes we interpret
Examples shown for illustration. Your report reflects your own variants, interpreted by a specialist. Educational only — not a diagnosis.
From insight to action
Results are interpreted with care into supportive next steps — prevention strategy, recovery-informed guidance, and, where relevant, considerations to share with a treatment professional.
Common questions
Does this test predict whether I'll become addicted?
No. It reveals genetic vulnerability — factors like reward signaling and substance metabolism — but environment, stress, and choices all shape the outcome. It's a prevention and support tool, not a prediction.
How can knowing my addiction genetics help?
It can inform prevention (which substances carry more risk for you), support recovery decisions in partnership with professionals, and help families understand inherited risk early.
Is my result private?
Your genetic data is analyzed for your report only and is never sold or shared. This is sensitive information and we treat it that way.
