Why it matters

Addiction runs in families. Knowledge changes the story.

Genetics account for up to half of addiction risk. Most people never learn where they stand until it is already a crisis.

Thrive Genetics gives you that knowledge early, privately, and paired with a plan, so risk becomes something you can act on instead of fear.

Why we built this

We watched addiction move quietly through families for years, before anyone understood what was happening. My father's journey taught us this is not about willpower. It is genetics, environment, and history. Knowing earlier changes everything.

Questions

Good to know.

Is this a medical diagnosis? +
No. Thrive Genetics measures risk, not destiny, and it is not a diagnosis. Your genes are one factor among many, alongside environment and history. A higher read is a reason to plan ahead, never a verdict that anything will happen.
How accurate is the test? +
Your sample is processed in a CLIA-certified lab, and the read is built on peer-reviewed methodology from Rutgers addiction-genetics research. Like all genetic risk science, it estimates likelihood rather than certainty, so we report it as a clear range with plain-language context instead of a single hard number.
Is my genetic data safe? +
Yes. We never sell your data and never share it with insurers, employers, or advertisers. It is encrypted end to end and stored in a HIPAA-aligned environment, results are visible only to you, and you can delete your data and your sample at any time.
What if my risk comes back high? +
A higher read is knowledge you can plan around, not a reason to panic. You get a personal plan with practical next steps and the option to add a 1:1 counselor consult. Understanding risk early is exactly what lets you act early, on your own terms.
How long until I get results? +
Once the lab receives your kit, it goes into analysis and your report appears in your secure portal when it is ready. We will keep you updated by email at each step so you always know where things stand.
How does the kit work? +
A simple cheek swab at home, mailed back in the prepaid envelope. A CLIA-certified lab analyzes it, and your report appears in your secure portal.
What if I change my mind? +
Cancel before your kit ships for a full refund, and we back every order with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Is it available in my state? +
We ship to most U.S. states. A few have specific rules for at-home genetic testing, and we will let you know at checkout if yours is one of them.
Plan ahead

A clearer picture is one swab away.

Order your kit today. Your private read is waiting when your results come back.
