The majority of the time, drug addictions begin with social experimentation with drugs. And for some people, drug use becomes more frequent. As time passes, they will feel the need to increase their dose of drugs just to find relief from their problems or even just because they want to experience that same euphoric feeling.

Media, television, and film are quick to portray those with addiction as immoral or criminal. The truth is that anyone can develop patterns of abuse or risky behaviors - regardless of their background or upbringing, age, culture, or financial status.

• SIGNS OF ALCOHOL & SUBSTANCE ABUSE

1. Are you experiencing a frequent, daily, or multiple-times-per-day need to use the drug?

2. Having intense cravings for the substance or needing more of it over time to have the same effect?

3. Are you failing to fulfill your responsibilities and do your work duties?

4. Are you engaging in actions you wouldn't often take to obtain the drug, like stealing?

5. Do you devote more and more of your time and effort to finding and using the drug?

6. Have you tried to stop taking the substance but failed, or are you getting withdrawal symptoms when you don't use it?

​

If you recognize any of the signs or behaviors listed above, it may be time to seek addiction counseling.
