Drug addiction is a chronic disease that causes the use of drug substances. The most prone to this addiction are adolescents and young people. In order to recognize a drug addict by his behavioral characteristics and appearance, it is enough to carefully follow the person.
Instructions
Step 1
Look at the suspect's mood. You should be alerted by its frequent and abrupt changes, regardless of the situation.
Step 2
Remember that excessive vigor or lethargy in a person's reaction is also a sign.
Step 3
Check the mode. Violation of the rhythm of sleep and wakefulness, the most common symptom of drug addiction.
Step 4
Pay attention to the person, if he has become overly secretive, often retires. Addiction and secrecy go hand in hand.
Step 5
Be wary if the person has a change of interest too abruptly. And he no longer cares about what he recently felt attracted to.
Step 6
Remember, buying drugs requires a lot of money. So the need for money should alert you. And if savings or valuables suddenly began to disappear from the house, you should immediately pay attention to the behavior of the suspect.
Step 7
Control who the person spends his free time with, what he does. Suspicious friends older or much younger than him may indirectly talk about addiction.
Step 8
If you see the increased aggressiveness of a loved one, this can also be a kind of bell.
Step 9
It is worth worrying if a person has left home. And if he left and took valuables with him, it is worth doubly worried.
Step 10
Suspicions should be heightened with increased attention to the contents of the home first aid kit and pharmacies. Do not lose sight of drug-related finds, and even more so syringes and suspicious pills.
Step 11
And now it is worth paying attention to the external signs. If behavior can be understood in two ways, then, according to experts, appearance says more:
- changing the size of the pupils;
- reddened or cloudy eyes;
- lack of coordination;
- a change in speech, from exaggeratedly expressive to constrained-delayed;
- loss or increase in appetite;
- redness or excessive pallor of the skin of the face;
- chronic runny nose, cough;
- traces of injections;
- unkempt look.
