Top 5 Signs of Drug Addiction

In the beginning, signs of drug addiction are easily masked or explained away with excuses: "I'm tired," or "I don't feel well," are common answers to curious questions about the new addictive behavior. As the addiction progresses, however, warning signs become more obvious - if you know what to look for. If you notice a number of these symptoms in someone you love, it may be time to schedule an intervention through The Canyon.

Sign of Drug Addiction #1: Cravings and Relapse

Increased anxiety, depression and difficulty concentrating are all side-effects of constant cravings for an addictive substance. Promises to give up using are quickly abandoned when the user realizes the drug makes it easier to deal with life's problems. The theory that "I can quit anytime" is proven wrong when tested.

Sign of Drug Addiction #2: Tolerance

As the body adjusts to the drug and larger and larger doses are necessary in order to achieve the original high, changes in eating habits, weight and personality become noticeable. The user may still be making excuses for their tell-tale behavior, but once a pattern is identified it becomes impossible to hide.

Sign of Drug Addiction #3: Risky Behavior

The high you get from using drugs makes you feel untouchable. Activities and situations you wouldn't be a part of when sober don't seem to be a big deal while under the influence. Possessing drug paraphernalia, stealing, sharing needles, having unprotected sex, and continuing to use when your job, education, and physical health are all in jeopardy add up to seriously dangerous scenarios.

Sign of Drug Addiction #4: Effects on Memory and Motivation

The most important thing in the life of an addict is his or her drug of choice. Responsibilities are shunned, personal goals are ignored, and interest is lost in all other activities that don't revolve around getting or using drugs. Because these things are no longer important, they are easily forgotten and the interest in fixing mistakes or moving forward in life are all but gone.

Sign of Drug Addiction #5: Withdrawal Symptoms

Anytime the drug is absent, the withdrawal symptoms associated with detox begin to affect the user almost immediately. Withdrawal symptoms vary depending on the drug being abused, but in general, addicts become restless, resentful and highly defensive during these periods. You may also observe: fatigue, insomnia, nausea, vomiting, headaches, dizziness, chills, cramps, shakes, sweats, seizures and even psychotic behavior.
