What are the symptoms of addiction?

While every substance can have specific effects on the body

While every substance can have specific effects on the body, many addictions can show themselves in the same way. Whether you’re concerned for your own well-being, or the health and safety of a loved one, there are some common signs and symptoms of addiction to be aware of.

Using the substance on a regular basis

Needing more of the substance to feel the same effect

Having consuming thoughts about the substance

Neglecting your responsibilities to either purchase or use the substance

Ensuring you have constant access to the substance

Partaking in illegal or harmful actions to obtain the substance

Failing to stop using the substance on your own

It may be time to talk to your loved one if you begin to notice the following:

Changes in their normal behavior

Their appearance is disheveled, unkempt, and malnourished

They are having sudden financial or legal issues

They are having problems with their work or schooling
