If you Start Drugs, it Will be the Beginning of
the End
Drugs can take hold on
somebody's life and they may never be the same again after addiction has
controlled them in every way possible. This is especially true when somebody as
young as a teenager begins to use drugs. So how can a concerned family member or
friend tell if a loved one has a drug addiction? There are many warning signs
that indicate drug use. There are physical signs like red eyes, develops
rashes/scabs, involuntary shaking, dilated pupils, changes in weight, and bruises.
Some behavioral signs/emotional signs are changes in sleeping/eating patterns,
depression, anxiety, disappears for periods of time and refuses to talk about
or lies about where they were, and financial problems.
There are plenty of ways
to find help. In Troy, Mi, there are multiple support groups where one can go
and find help for their addiction. Some of these are hosted at Zion United
Church of Christ and the Lincoln County Council of Aging. There are also rehab
centers like Perspectives of Troy where one can stop their addiction. Schools
can also help by educating young people about the harmful effects of drugs, and
parents/family members can do the same. Friends of teenagers can help stop drug
use by not pressuring their friends to try drugs or by encouraging their friends
to stop.
