How to recognize a drug addict in time?

I consider even alcoholism or the abuse of tobacco products to be something abnormal, which leads to human stupidity and weak character.

And drug addiction, and it seems to me, is some kind of diabolical invention.

I think that every person should know how to identify addict in order not to become his victim or to be able to help a loved one if he started to use this poison.

Moreover, it is not so difficult to determine the signs of addiction.

Why can not we always recognize a drug addict?

A drug addict in a family is a terrible tragedy that can destroy the life of not only a person addicted to drugs, but also those who love his people.

Very often experiments with drugs begin:

• teenagers, wanting to seem steep and keep up with their peers;
• people who have reached a huge income and do not know where to put money;
• creative individuals seeking inspiration, wherever possible;
• suffering from depression, nervous disorders, staying for a long time in a depressed state and experiencing some kind of tragedy.

If your loved one falls into one of these categories, then look at him from time to time to be able to recognize the addict as early as possible.

In this case, it's certainly better to perebdet than nedobdet.

Unfortunately, my parents' friends thought differently and did not consider it necessary to know how to recognize a drug addict.

They continued to turn a blind eye to changes in the behavior, appearance, habits of their teenage son, even when these changes were already visible to everyone around them with the naked eye, even when valuable things began to disappear from the house.

The guy managed to save, but if they pulled a few more months, he would have turned into a complete heroin, risking not only his health, but also his life.

How to recognize a drug addict by changes in his behavior and habits?

To define the addict is the easiest in his behavior.

People who use drugs, even if they are easy, but who do this with an enviable regularity, change.

Their behavior and habits become different:

1. Emotionally unstable.

   Their mood changes very sharply( 2 minutes ago the addict was in a good mood, and now he throws things around the room with anger), as it is not normal for a normal person.

2. He is often visited by uncontrolled outbreaks of aggression, and absolutely causeless.
3. A person who takes drugs can completely isolate himself, not paying the slightest attention to others, he becomes very affectionate( directly intrusive): he wants to kiss, cuddle, squeeze, although this behavior is not peculiar to him.
4. He / she has new friends, and if earlier you knew all the friends, they were at your house, you had their phones in case of some h / p, now you can not determine where and with whom you are closea man spends his time.
5. Addict becomes indifferent to what used to be so much interested in him: some hobbies, favorite dishes, trips to nature, visiting your beloved grandmother, etc.

6. Addicts refuse to leave somewhere for a long time and if they are forced to stay at home for a day or two, for example, because of illness, they can unexpectedly break and leave somewhere, even if they have a high fever or other serious health problems.

   And why they do it, explain very vaguely.

7. A close person, addicted to poison, has secrets from you, although he used to share everything with you.

How to identify a drug addict by modifications in his appearance?

You can also recognize a drug addict due to changes in his appearance.

Neat people stop watching themselves:

• is less likely to wash;
• wear dirty and rumpled clothes;
• ignore the bad odor coming from them;
• does not attend a hairdresser;
• do not care about their dirty broken nails, etc.

If the situation is really sad and the addict starts to pour, then to hide the marks from injections, all the time( even in a well-heated house, even with a heat of 40 ° C) goes in pants and long-sleeved sweatshirts.

What happens if you quit smoking?

And the narcotics know very well that under the influence of drugs they have glassy eyes and the pupil is narrowing and expanding, so even on cloudy days or in the evening they start wearing dark glasses and avoid looking into the eyes of other people so that they can not recognize their condition.

How to recognize a drug addict in a manner of communication?

Even silent people communicate with people around them, even in their own way, but still - communicate.

It is on the changes in the manner of communication that you can easily identify a drug addict.

Usually, those who take long-term drugs begin to communicate with people around them quite differently:

1. Speech and motor disinhibition is observed.
2. Completely changing the manner of communication: those who used to mooch without stopping, more and more locked in themselves, but silent, from which before words can not be stretched, sometimes become incredibly talkative.
3. Very often it seems to you that you are not being listened to when you say something, and the addict's answers are usually called "out of place".

4. You stopped responding to the standard direct questions: "Where were you?", "What did you do with your friends?", "Why did you come so late?", "Why did not you call, that you are delaying?" Etc.

   And if you insist on an answer, it causes an attack of uncontrolled aggression.

5. You have ceased to know anything at all about the activities and pastime of a person close to you, where and with whom it happens, you can not determine.
6. Conversations with friends from a drug addict now occur exclusively behind a closed door and in an atmosphere of utmost secrecy.
7. The information heard only recently is easily forgotten by the addict, as well as requests for something to buy or some other.

How else can you identify a drug addict?

There are several other signs that can help you recognize a drug addict:

1. From a successful person, a drug addict gradually becomes a loser: teens start truant school, adults work.

   Students are not learning well, and those working cause discontent with their superiors, because they do not cope with their duties.

2. From your house, valuable things and money began to disappear, and where they go you can not determine.
3. The addict seems to be working on his own money( he does not buy new things, does not travel, etc.), but he never has money, and he often borrowed them from you or from someone else.

4. Those who sit on drugs absolutely do not care about family problems, illnesses of native people, lack of money and so on.

   They are concerned only about not to miss the next dose.

5. Addicts tend to disappear for a few days from home, while disconnecting the phone and explaining nothing after the return. Deterioration of health status( frequent colds, problems with the digestive tract, pressure surges, arrhythmia, sweating and weakness, poor hair, nails and teeth) are constant companions of drug use.
6. You began to find strange objects at home: tubes with glue, syringes, sachets with the remains of some grass, cropped plastic bottles, etc.
7. A drug addict forbids you to call a doctor, even if he feels unwell.
8. Sleep disturbances: during the day he falls asleep, and at night aimlessly puffs around the apartment.
9. Disorders of appetite: it is eaten up by excessive portions, it generally refuses to eat.

If you can not determine for yourself that you have a drug addict at home, but suspect this, you should immediately pull him( even against his will) to the hospital.
