Social
Signs
There
are plenty of signs that are typical for a cocaine addict. First of all, they
will likely show some strange social behavior. You will find that they will
have frequent mood swings. They may end up with job-loss or work-related
problems as a direct result of their addiction. They will also end up
withdrawing emotionally from those close around them. In general, you will notice
your friend or family member simply turning into a different person from whom
you’ve known. They can’t hide it for long, and you will be able to sense when
they have turned a corner into full addiction.
Physical
Signs
Some
physical signs to be aware of would include issues with sleeping such as
inconsistent patterns of sleep or even chronic insomnia. Frequent nosebleeds
are also commonly associated with those addicted to cocaine as well as heart
irregularities. Their speech will also be affected, whether it’s slurred or
accelerated. Weight loss is another common side effect of the condition, too.
Indeed, physically they will make a rapid change in a short period of time and
it will not be hard to guess as to why.
What
to Do
If
you are noticing a variety of both the social and physical signs outlined above,
then you will want to act on it as fast as possible. Cocaine kills. There is no
reason to wait around if you know something is wrong. You could form an
intervention or you could peruse sites such as www.pbinstitute.com for
information and resources. The number one thing to remember is that you are not
alone. Many people suffer with family members that have addictions. Many come
out of it all right if given the proper help. Don’t lose hope, and do what you
can while you still have the chance.
Thank you for this informative article. I did not know some of this and it is a really good idea to beware of these things especially with a teenager in the house who exposed to outside influences at school and such.
ReplyDeleteI was just watching a documentary last night about cocaine addicts. The damage it can do to users and their families are really scary. Being aware of it is truly the first step to help the user.
ReplyDeleteSome of these signs can also possible because of an illness. What is most noticeable with substance addicts are out of focus, cannot comprehend, abrupt anger, and eyes look blank...
ReplyDeleteThanks for these tips and I pray that none of my kids will try any drugs. Drugs truly can kill and there is nothing good about it.
ReplyDeleteOh dear! I still can't believe why people would destroy themselves like this. I saw an article online show photos of people on drugs and the drastic physical change. It is scary and sad at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good post. It is one of those things that we hope we never need, but if we do, we are glad we learned the information.

ReplyDeleteUnfortunately in my lifetime I have seen some crazy people hooked on some crazy drugs. So glad there are treatment centers for those with addiction disease.
