Signs of addiction

Due to the physical and/or psychological dependence there are types of behaviour that may indicate an addiction problem such as an inability to relax, erratic behaviour with violent mood swings, incoherent speech, hyperactivity; talking for long periods of time, deterioration of physical appearance.

These are just some of the possible signs of drug and alcohol misuse but when you are suffering from an addiction you may sometimes be the last one to recognise your own symptoms.

Getting help

You may decide that you need to aim to stop taking drugs altogether or you may not be ready to commit to this, and feel that first you need to manage or reduce your drug usage.

There are a variety of different treatment programmes that help individuals manage their addictions. Some are residential, others are accessed while the individual still lives in their home.
