Recognizing Drug Addict Behaviors
Even though there are many different types of substance abuse, there are generally noticeable signs that a person is an addict.
A question that people tend to ask when they suspect that someone they know or love is struggling with drug addiction is what the signs are that there is a problem.
It may depend on the person and also how much of a grasp the drugs have on them as to how many of the signs they exhibit, but there are definitely signs that will help you recognize if a person has an addiction problem.

Change in Appearance- Many people who are struggling with drug addiction have a change in appearance. They no longer seem to care about personal hygiene, they lose weight, develop sores on their face and body in some cases, and even stop taking baths and washing their hair.
- Change in Friends- Most people with a drug addiction will abandon and distance themselves from their old circle of friends, trading them in for a new set of friends who are also generally users or addicts themselves.
- Change in Mood- Drug addicts tend to have a complete change in mood or behavior, especially when they are craving the drug and can’t get their hands on it. They could be smiling one moment and the next moment going into fits of anger or even crying, although it appears to be for no reason.
- Alienating Themselves- Drug addicts do not want their friends or loved ones to know about their addiction, so they typically alienate themselves from those they love.
- Problems at Work or School- Eventually every drug addict will begin having problems at either work or school, or in some cases both. It may be easy to hide the problem in the beginning, but as the addiction becomes worse, the addict could miss more work, or spend time in the bathroom getting high, or in some cases even come to work high. If they lose their jobs, they may begin stealing to support their habit, and that could mean stealing from family members or friends.
- Receiving Phone Calls at Odd Hours and Leaving Home a lot- Drug addicts tend to get phone calls at odd hours and tend to be very secretive about the phone calls, which are often followed with the addict leaving the home. This could be so they can meet with the person who they are getting the drugs from.
