Addiction has a multitude of signs, as stated earlier. One that might be noticeable is when the suspected addicted person is hiding or attempting to hide something. While this is not a sign of addiction in itself, having a gut suspicion along with other signs can help lead one to an accurate conclusion. Most of the other noticeable signs are related to behavior, such as if the person is very moody or thoughtless and acting out of character. Irritability and a lack of engagement of the person in question along with becoming less reliable are all potential signs of addiction. Additionally, they could even appear very drowsy or say unusual things. Greater Essex Counseling Services offers programs for substance abuse and more.
