Extreme changes in lifestyle are a sign of drug addiction.  Addicts can exhibit this by showing an acute need for privacy along with paranoia or secretive behavior.  The dependant individual will become closed to friends and family – physically and mentally shutting out the people who care most.  

  Drug addicts become very secretive and suspicious of family and friends, even when the user’s family and friends are the only people trying to help.  The addict won’t admit to using excessive amounts of drugs, yet will be gone unaccountably for long periods of time and won’t answer when asked questions regarding whereabouts – or will lie.  Such questions only illicit anger and a complete rejection of the attempted help.

  The addict will steal from the ones closest to him or her in order to buy more drugs, but when confronted will lie or refuse to tell the family member or friend where the money went.

 
                The cause of the above changes is: a drug addict must hide his or her addiction. The addict knows his behavior is destructive and is trying to protect family and friends from the effects of their addiction.  In an attempt to hide addictive behaviors, the user tends to go into seclusion, even in the midst of friends. This is the basis for behavior that upsets friends and family of the drug addict.

      The Narconon program is specially designed to strengthen the bonds between the addict and those who seek to help by enabling them to live with the truth and no longer feel the urge to hide.
