Change in Friends

A person’s circle of  and behavior. Observe when you notice a teenager, whether your friend or kid, suddenly hang out with different people. Those friends might be great or they could be the source of that teen’s drug addiction.

Teens and addiction don’t normally go hand-in-hand. If your child got a hold of drugs and got addicted, they had to have started somewhere. One of their new friends likely introduced the substance to them or brought them to a dealer.

The teenager might end up committing petty crimes like stealing cash from friends or relatives to purchase more drugs. They can suffer from depression and may become reclusive as the substances take a hold of their lives.

In these cases, seek professional teen addiction counseling. The person needs to understand the changes they’re going through and how it affects their health, as well as the people around them.
