How to Recognize the Signs of Substance Abuse

Medication and other substances are intended to benefit humans, but too much or any extreme quantity of such substances can go far from beneficial. When someone consumes too many medications, substance abuse will continue to take control of their life.

Identifying the signs of substance abuse is essential to protect ourselves and the people we care about from the detrimental cycle of addiction.

  • Physical symptoms:
    changes in the body can be more visible, easily detected, and referenced for evaluation. Abusing substances manifests with dilated or constricted pupils, glazed eyes, abrupt weight changes, and so on.
  • Behavioral symptoms:
    may need more and closer observation. Addiction can lead to irritable behavior beyond the person’s character. Other changes include lethargy, depression, or dramatic lifestyle changes.

It is important to note that the presence of such symptoms does not fully indicate substance abuse. However, if you notice a loved one showing signs, it may be best to encourage help.

Understanding the essential aspects of Rehab is one of the many strategies for Relapse Prevention. However, knowledge by itself is just one thing. One should act on what one knows.
