Signs of Drug Addiction - Know the Symptoms

Posted by Trust care on November 18th, 2022

Drug addiction is a dark-spiralling trap that takes over a person's life and sends their world into a fog of bondages, problems, and struggles. The signs of drug addiction are many and vary greatly depending on what type of drug is being abused. We have the best drug rehabilitation centre in Pune.  

Different drugs affect people in different ways. For example, marijuana may make a person appear spaced out and distant while amphetamines will appear hyper and upbeat. Some people are more prone to addiction and some drugs are more likely to bring about addiction than others. But all drugs trap and deceive their users. 

If you think that someone close to you is using drugs, you must look for the following symptoms in his behaviour:  

•          An increase or decrease in appetite, changes in eating habits, or a sudden weight loss
•          Changes in personality with no other identifiable cause
•          Loss of interest in activities you used to find enjoyable
•          Difficulty in paying attention or forgetfulness
•          Lack of motivation and energy
•          Fitful sleep (tossing, turning, and twitching)
•          Paranoia
•          The trouble with managing money
•          Inability to stop using your drug of choice
•          Excessive preoccupation with your drug supply
•          Doing things you normally wouldn't do if not on the drug
•          Use of drugs despite health problems or warnings
•          Change in personal grooming habits like showering and changing clothes

 Recognizing drug abuse in others is similar to the symptoms above, but you can also look for these signs: 

•          The smell of substances on clothes (e.g. marijuana, chemicals)
•          A sudden need for privacy (secretive)
•          Violent temper or bizarre behaviour
•          Secretive or suspicious behaviour
•          Defensiveness or excessive laziness
•          The unusual effort to cover up legs and arms
•          Unexplained silliness or giddiness
•          Drop in school or work performance
•          Changes in friends
•          Extreme hyperactivity or excessive talkativeness
•          Lying

 It's important that these signs are not ignored and that help is sought for either you or a loved one. Anything hidden is sure to have power over its protector. It's certainly easier to simply ignore any possibility that a drug addiction exists, but when you see the signs, it should become clear that there is a problem. Once the problem is identified, it can effectively be tackled and overcome - with the right treatment. You can contact us through our website; we have one of the best rehabs in Pune.
