Signs of Drug Addiction

Sometimes, it can be difficult to tell the difference between recreational use of drugs and actual addiction. Once the disease has progressed to a certain point, many drug users insist that they’re still in control in spite of numerous negative consequences. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be that way. If you know how to recognize the signs of addiction, then you have a much better chance to begin a long-term recovery.

Here are some of the signs that it might be time to seek professional treatment for a substance abuse disorder:

  • You’ve tried to stop using drugs multiple times but find that you cannot
  • You experience withdrawal symptoms when you stop using
  • The cravings you feel for your drug become more intense
  • Your drug use begins to cause financial difficulties and affect your work performance
  • You have to use greater quantities just to feel normal
  • Loved ones have started to express concerns about your drug use
  • You have started to go to dangerous extremes in order to acquire drugs
  • You start to be dishonest about your level of drug use

If this list describes your situation, it’s probably time to seek help at a drug treatment facility.

Commonly Abused Drugs

Our individualized treatment programs are designed to facilitate recovery from just about every drug you’re likely to encounter. However, a one-size-fits-all approach to recovery is doomed to failure. That’s why our masters level therapists all stay up-to-date on the substances that people are abusing.

In the following sections, you’ll find brief descriptions of the drugs we most commonly encounter:

Alcohol

Excessive alcohol use can lead to dependency and a number of life-threatening health conditions.  Alcohol withdrawal symptoms can lead to seizures, hallucinations, or even death.

Ambien

Ambien is a sedative that inhibits the brain’s primary functions. When used properly, Ambien is an effective way to treat chronic insomnia. Unfortunately, it can also lead to psychological and physical dependence.

Barbiturates

Barbiturates like Phenobartital, Seconal, and Amytal are sedative drugs that are used to treat insomnia, anxiety, and seizure disorders. They’re also used illegally, usually as a secondary drug that reduces withdrawal symptoms associated with other substances.

Benzodiazepines

Benzodiazepines, or ‘Benzos,’ like Xanax, Klonopin, and Valium are anti-anxiety medications that are intended for short-term use. Prolonged use of benzodiazepines can easily lead to physical dependence. The withdrawal symptoms associated with these drugs make it difficult for users to stop.

Cocaine

Cocaine is a highly addictive stimulant that can be snorted, smoked, or injected. It produces a euphoric high that can create intense cravings after just a few uses. While recovery from cocaine abuse can be difficult, an appropriate treatment center can help users return to a normal and fulfilling life.

Fentanyl

Fentanyl is a powerful opioid drug that’s prescribed for severe pain. It’s also used recreationally, often with devastating effects. Physical and psychological dependence can develop after just a few uses.

Heroin

Heroin is one of the most commonly abused opiates in the world. It’s also one of the most addictive. Heroin dependence can start to develop with the first few uses, and the withdrawal symptoms are so intensely uncomfortable that most users will do whatever is necessary to obtain the next fix.

Inhalants

Inhalants are a class of addictive drugs that are breathed directly into the lungs. The category of inhalants includes dangerous substances like gasoline, model glue, and aerosol hairspray.

Marijuana

Though many people think that marijuana is a safe, non-addictive drug, there is a certain percentage of users who will become dependent. If this happens, therapy and improved coping skills are the key to long-term recovery.

Meth

Methamphetamine is a highly addictive stimulant that can cause serious mental and physical health problems. Even after only a few uses, meth users can begin to experience hallucinations, paranoia, and constant cravings.

Opiates

Opiates are a class of drugs that includes opium, heroin, morphine and more. Opiates are often grouped with opioid drugs such as methadone, Vicodin, and Oxycodone. Regardless of how you refer to them, even a few uses of opiates can result in addiction.

Oxycontin

Oxycontin is a powerful opioid pain medication that can produce intense feelings of euphoria when not taken as directed. Just like other opioid drugs, Oxycontin is incredibly addictive and is often involved in overdose deaths.

Synthetics

Synthetics are man made drugs that are often described as safe ways to get high. There are dozens of synthetics available in gas stations, convenience stores, and online. The best-known synthetic drugs include Spice, Flakka, DMT, and bath salts.

Valium

A first generation benzodiazepine, Valium is prescribed mostly for panic disorder and generalized anxiety. Like its fellow benzos, Valium is highly addictive and requires a medical detox to stop safely.

Xanax

Xanax is another member of the highly addictive benzodiazepine class of drugs. Intended for the short term treatment of anxiety, many people don’t use Xanax as it’s prescribed. It’s also a commonly abused recreational drug.

Prescription Drugs

Prescription drugs are substances that have legitimate medical uses when prescribed by a physician. These drugs can be abused whether they’ve been obtained by legitimate or illegitimate means. Some of the most commonly abused prescription drugs are opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin.

Stimulants

Often called ‘uppers’ or ‘speed,’ stimulants are drugs that increase activity in various parts of the body. Some people abuse stimulants to become more focused or to increase performance in other areas. Some of the most stimulants are cocaine, meth, Adderall, Ritalin, and Concerta.

Suboxone

Intended to alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms, Suboxone is just as addictive as most opiates and usually requires a medical detox to stop taking it safely. It can be abused if opiate addicts take excessive amounts or if it’s used by someone without such a dependence.

At our North Carolina Drug Addiction Treatment Center, we understand that drug or alcohol dependency is a disease. It’s a medical condition that affects every aspect of the addicted person’s life.
