Has a friend or loved one drastically altered behavior or personality for no obvious reason, allowing relationships to suffer?  This is one of the signs of a developing drug problem, whether it be addiction or relapse into addiction.

Drugs affect the chemicals in a user’s body.  When the user becomes addicted to the drug, their body can become dependent upon the drug for certain chemical functions.  Without treatment the user will constantly feel a need to take a drug to duplicate the chemical functions their body has become accustomed to. 

Drugs also affect lifestyle, changing it for the worse.  Broken promises, secrets and even crimes become commonplace. This makes the user experience feelings of guilt and shame. Also, being basically good at heart,  addicts want to withhold their destructive actions from those they love in order to prevent those same people becoming hurt by those actions.  The addict will become belligerent, suspicious, angry, uncaring, etc., especially when confronted with evidence of their crimes.   

These physical and mental changes cause the addict to withdraw from the life they used to lead – leaving family and friends behind.
