Addicts often start with potent drugs. Their intake quickly turns into a habit, over time, they are required by a person in large doses. Pay attention to whether a person takes certain medications too often, perhaps several times a week. This will be especially suspicious if a person does not need to take medication. See if he is buying expensive drugs, even if he cannot afford it.

Talk with the person if his conversations are constantly reduced to the treatment of diseases, whether he speaks too often about the necessary medicines. If you know that taking medications is not critical for a person, but he continues to take them, most likely, there is a dependence on them, which can turn into drug addiction.

If you suspect a teenager is taking drugs, you need to look closely at him. However, his unusual condition can be easily confused with the depression and despondency that often accompany people at this age. Pay attention if the teenager does not miss school without explaining the reasons, if he has not completely lost interest in studying and communicating with peers. See if he watches his appearance. This is one of the important indicators. Teenagers are usually very interested in fashion, they always watch their clothes. A sign of drug use by a teenager may be to frequently ask for pocket money or to lose money from home. Watch also for changes in his behavior. Does he tell you where and with whom he spends time, does he try to hide his long absences, has his attitude to loved ones changed?
