Dax Shepard keeps drug tests at home so Kristen Bell can test him whenever she sees fit.

Following his recent relapse after 16 years of sobriety, the “Good Place” actress said her husband immediately admitted he needed help.

“[He said,] ‘You can drug-test me whenever you want. I’m going to buy some tests. I’m going to have them in the house. If you ever feel nervous, I want you to have access to this and I’ll do it, no questions asked,’” she revealed in a new interview with Self magazine.

Bell — who wed Shepard in 2013 — added, that she has yet to ask him to take an impromptu test.

“He’s just good at trying, and that’s all you can ask of anyone. No one’s perfect,” she continued. “He’s proven to me that he is committed to evolving and he loves personal growth.”

Shepard, 46, first shared the news of his relapse in September 2020. He revealed that he was taking pills daily following several motorcycle injuries and became “shadier and shadier” about the pill intake.

“I’m lying to other people and I know I have to quit,” he said on his podcast at the time.

Bell, 40, also addressed the relapse on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in October, saying, “He is actually doing really great. I mean look, everybody’s up against their own demons. Sometimes it’s anxiety and depression, sometimes it’s substance abuse and the thing I love most about Dax is a) he was able to tell me and tell us and say we need a different plan.”

Despite the relapse, Bell and Shepard — who share daughters Lincoln, 8, and Delta, 6 — are still going strong.

In her interview, Bell revealed that they re-entered therapy in the midst of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and her husband’s relapse to make sure they “didn’t kill each other.”
