Drug addiction is a very difficult and difficult to treat disease, which is important to recognize as early as possible in order to take as yet possible treatment measures.
Dear parents, try to listen,to look at the behavior of a son or daughter. Those who have experienced the grief of losing their own child will be told: "Dig in their things, check their pockets, overhear conversations." On the one hand, these are unpleasant activities that can alienate children from you. But on the other - who knows, maybe, do not trust some parents to their children so blindly, moms and dads could save their lives ...
Do not underestimate the danger,which is the drug addiction. Do not try to pursue a false "modernity" and "advancement" to accept the slogan "in life you need to try everything." By loyalty, you can form a misconception in children about what can and can not be done.
Unfortunately, the proper effect in the treatment of drug addiction is achieved only in 5-10 percent of cases.
Well study the first signs of addiction toin time to identify the disease. Remember that it's better to be safe and sometimes show excessive suspicion than to look at what is happening "through your fingers" and think that everything will somehow manage.
Do not ignore such possiblesymptoms of addiction, such as a quick change of mood, unfounded depression or excessive gaiety, if there are no special reasons for that. Watch out if a teenager has just told something interesting, shared secrets, helped with household chores - and a minute later "pouted", became apathetic and does not want to explain his strange behavior. A rapid change in mood may well indicate a beginning drug addiction.
Changes in the rhythm of sleep are also signsdrug addiction. For example, during the day the child does not leave the room, sleeps or just lies in bed, and in the evening, after returning from a walk with friends, becomes active and energetic. If the reason for the violation of the regime of the day is addiction, then everything is understandable: adolescents receive a portion of "buzz", feel euphoria and they think that they can turn mountains. It happens in the evening and at night - after taking a dose. In the morning, the accumulated fatigue is felt, and the adolescents can sleep through the evening.
Do not miss past and change in power mode.It's not entirely normal if your children do not want to eat throughout the day, and after meeting with a group of friends or spending time in a closed room, they can easily "pacify" several portions.
Yes, these signs can be characteristic forhealthy child, but if only one of them is manifested, well, or two - is not pronounced. And if for some time you consistently find all three attributes of a son or daughter - take urgent measures, without waiting for that "it will pass by itself" or it seemed to you.
There are other signs of addiction.For example, the child suddenly became withdrawn and silent, he is depressed and unconvincing. He found new friends, about which you know almost nothing, or not the best is known. At the same time, he is much less communicating with old friends and relatives. It is not a sin sometimes to listen to conversations with friends (even if these friends are well acquainted with you, but you often catch strange phrases from their mouths). Some novice drug addicts encrypt their conversations, so as not to cause unnecessary suspicion. Decline in academic performance, loss of interest in recent hobbies, development of inattention, forgetfulness are all signs of drug addiction.
Do not leave out of attention some changes in appearance: circles under the eyes, a strange glint in the eyes and, of course, traces of injections.
It's worth worrying about the increased financialneeds of their children. Perhaps you will even find the loss of money or any valuables from home. If you suddenly find an incomprehensible origin of dried grass, a strange powder, then this is already practically direct evidence. Urgent and radical measures must be taken.
At the first stage of drug addiction, a person is sure thatcan throw at any time, because he does not have physical pain - breaking, he just enjoys it. In the next stage, the drug is taken already in order to maintain a "tolerant" state - otherwise there will be a strong breakdown. Having taken a drug, a person becomes cheerful and cheerful - he still enjoys the dose. But it is worth at least to reduce it, as the disease goes to the third stage. Now the goal of taking a drug is not getting high, but preventing breakage. The organism is filled with poison, the personality degrades, the brain collapses. All this leads to death.
Drug addiction found on time can be treated, and one day waking up free of this heavy dependence, your child will surely say thank you to you.
