How do I know if my teenager is addicted to drugs?
assistant
If you suspect your teen may be using or abusing drugs, there are some warning signs that can help you determine if they have an addiction. These include changes in their behavior, such as neglecting school and friends; a decrease in academic performance; spending more time with people who use drugs; increased drug-seeking behaviors, like stealing money from family members or selling belongings; and withdrawal symptoms when trying to avoid the drug. Additionally, if your teen admits to using drugs regularly, this could be another sign of addiction.
