This presentation highlights the enduring problem of
drug addiction in our country, emphasizing its
harmful impact on individuals, families, and society.
Early intervention is crucial as addiction is a
complex disease that alters thinking, making quitting
challenging despite good intentions. Understanding
these challenges is essential for effective solutions.

N
 CONCEPT OF DRUG ADDICTION
Misguidedly, drug abuse is often
perceived as a moral weakness, but, in
reality, substances alter the brain
intensifying the abuse. Addiction involves
dependency, with withdrawal symptoms
unless the substance is taken.
Addictive drugs create a strong urge to
continue use, even after withdrawal
symptoms subside. Recognizing drug
addiction as a brain-damaging disease,
rather than a matter of determination,
allows for scientific treatment to help
individuals reclaim their lives.
 03 – SIGNS OF
DRUG
DEPENDENCY
●Identifying drug use is challenging
as there are no distinct physical signs
or personality alterations that
definitively indicate substance abuse.
While deviant behavior could be a
sign, some behavioral changes may
not necessarily be linked to drug use.
The following manifestations of drug use require attention and
appropriate action from the parent of the user.

Mood swings or explosive outbursts

Refer to sudden and intense changes in someone’s emotional state, leading to
unpredictable or extreme reactions. This can be indicative of various factors,
including stress, mental health issues, or, in some cases, substance abuse.

Frequent absences from work or school, or

declining work or school performance
Frequent absences from work or school, or a decline in performance affecting
an individual's commitment or capability to fulfill their responsibilities. This
can indicate underlying issues such as health problems or possible substance
abuse.
Staying out late or not coming home
Staying out late or not coming home suggests a pattern of behavior where an
individual is not adhering to regular routines or responsibilities, raising
concerns about their well-being or potential issues such as substance abuse.

Unexplained need for money or sudden

loss of money and valuables
An unexplained need for money or a sudden loss of money and valuables
may signal financial challenges or, in some cases, involvement in activities
such as substance abuse that require additional funds.

Less extracurricular activities, social withdrawal, and

minimal interaction with the family
Less participation in extracurricular activities, social withdrawal, and
minimal interaction with the family may indicate a shift in a person's social
behavior, potentially signaling emotional or psychological issues, including
the possibility of substance abuse.
Sudden or noticeable change in friends
A sudden or noticeable change in friends may suggest a shift in an
individual's social circle, which could be indicative of evolving interests,
lifestyle changes, or, in some cases, involvement in new activities, including
potential exposure to substances.

Changes in eating patterns

Significant alterations in a person's eating habits, such as sudden weight loss
or gain, may signal underlying issues like emotional distress, health
problems, or potential substance abuse.

Tiredness or changes in sleeping patterns

Tiredness or changes in sleeping patterns indicate alterations in an
individual's rest habits, which can be linked to various factors such as stress,
health issues, or substance abuse affecting their overall well-being.
Impaired memory and poor concentration
Difficulty remembering information and sustaining focus can be indicative of
various issues, including stress, mental health concerns, or substance use that
affects cognitive functions.

Blood-shot or glassy eyes

Red or glassy eyes can be a physical indication of substance use, particularly
in the case of certain drugs that impact eye appearance, like marijuana or
certain stimulants.

Lethargy and loss of motivation

A general lack of energy, enthusiasm, and motivation can be symptomatic of
various issues, including mental health challenges or substance abuse that
affects overall well-being.
Deterioration of physical appearance and grooming

care, potentially associated with emotional struggles, mental health issues, or
substance abuse impacting an individual's overall appearance and habits.
