Signs of Substance Abuse

Recognizing the signs of substance use disorder can help you take the first step toward treatment. Common signs include:

• A strong urge or compulsion to use drugs or alcohol
  
• Increased tolerance, requiring more of the substance to achieve the same effect
  
• Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home
  
• Withdrawal symptoms when not using the substance
  
• Loss of control over substance use despite repeated attempts to quit
  

If you or a loved one is experiencing these signs, it’s time to seek help. Addiction is treatable, and recovery is possible with the right support.
