Common Signs of Addiction

  • Using more than intended
  • Failed attempts to cut down
  • Cravings
  • Neglecting responsibilities
  • Continued use despite harm
  • Tolerance (needing more for the same effect)
  • Withdrawal symptoms when stopping
  • Giving up activities you once enjoyed
  • Spending significant time obtaining, using, or recovering from substance use

Only a qualified healthcare professional can diagnose addiction. If you recognize these patterns in yourself or a loved one, reaching out for an evaluation is an important step. You don't need to hit "rock bottom" to seek help.
