Whether it is for you or for someone you care for, familiarize yourself with the common signs and symptoms of drug abuse and addiction to determine if a problem exists. Is drug use causing problems with the law.
Here are the signs to look for: When more of a drug needs to be consumed to feel the same physical effects that smaller amounts used to achieve then a drug tolerance has been formed. Another classic sign is when a user needs to consume drugs to avoid experiencing physical withdrawal symptoms like nauseousness, insomnia, and feelings of restlessness, anxiousness and depression.
Is the person in question using more drugs than planned or do they feel powerless to stop using. Find support among family members, friends, people who share your spiritual faith, recovered drug addicts, therapists and rehabilitation providers. As drugs gain more control over the body and mind, and as they exert more control over an individual's life, the journey which begins as substance abuse transforms into drug addiction.
Different drugs affect the body in different ways but the symptoms of addiction are exactly the same regardless of drug-type. The final sign is when the user continues to consume drugs despite the fact that they know they're being hurt by them.
Also, when much time is spent, not just using drugs, but thinking about them, planning to obtain them and recovering from them then the situation has taken a major turn for the worse.
