Signs of Addiction

When an individual first becomes addicted to something, they will first show signs such as:

• Doctor shopping (prescription addiction)
• Spending large amounts of cash on illicit drugs
• Drinking alcohol alone or constantly throughout one’s day
• Mood changes
• Change their social scene
• Financial instabilities
• Physical changes

These first signs of an addiction will remain constant for a short amount of time, but over a course of weeks they will slowly increase and become more and more dangerous. The mood swings will turn into rage; financial instabilities will turn into begging for money, stealing or even selling themselves for money; and they will begin using the drugs or alcohol throughout their everyday lives.

An addiction in any severity should be considered dangerous and should be treated like a medical condition. Immediate inpatient addiction treatment is required for a possible full recovery over their addiction, and this process could take several weeks to months. In any case, an addiction is not something that any person should keep in their life, because it will quickly destroy every good aspect that a person has in their life.

Understanding the addiction is the first step towards recovery. You can learn to understand your addiction through individual or group addiction counseling that can be incorporated into your addiction treatment and recovery program. You also need to change aspects in your life that are causing you to want to continue the behavior.
