What this assessment is
Gabapentin is a prescription anticonvulsant, and taking it the way your doctor prescribed it is not misuse. These questions are about the pattern around it, and whether that pattern has started to cause problems.
It is a short, confidential set of questions and it takes a few minutes: how much you take and how often, whether you have taken more than you were prescribed, whether you have tried to cut back, and whether you are combining it with opioids or alcohol.
This is a starting point for reflection, not a medical diagnosis. If the answers suggest gabapentin is affecting your life, a licensed clinician can carry out a full assessment and, where it is appropriate, recommend a treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gabapentin Assessment
What does a gabapentin assessment involve?
A gabapentin assessment at Nova Recovery Center includes a comprehensive clinical interview, medical history review, medication use evaluation, and screening for co-occurring mental health conditions. Our licensed clinicians assess the severity of dependence, withdrawal risk, and any underlying pain or anxiety issues that may have led to gabapentin use. The assessment typically takes 60–90 minutes and results in a personalized treatment recommendation.
Is gabapentin addictive?
While gabapentin is not classified as a controlled substance federally, it does carry a risk of dependence, especially at higher doses or when combined with opioids or other substances. Individuals with a history of substance use disorder are at higher risk. Physical dependence can develop, leading to withdrawal symptoms when stopping suddenly. Our addiction assessment process helps determine the level of dependence and the safest path forward.
Can I get gabapentin detox at Nova Recovery Center?
Yes. Nova Recovery Center offers medically supervised detox services at our residential facilities in Austin and Wimberley, Texas. Gabapentin withdrawal can include anxiety, insomnia, nausea, and in severe cases, seizures. Our clinical team provides 24/7 monitoring, symptom management, and a safe tapering protocol. Learn more about our detox admission process and how we support clients through withdrawal.
What happens after the gabapentin assessment?
Following your assessment, our clinical team will discuss the findings with you and recommend an appropriate level of care, whether that’s inpatient rehab, intensive outpatient treatment, or medication-assisted support. We create a personalized treatment plan that addresses both the gabapentin use and any co-occurring disorders, and we work with you to schedule your admission or first session.
How do I schedule a gabapentin assessment?
Scheduling is simple and confidential. Call our admissions team at (512) 605-2955 or visit our contact page to request an assessment.
