Is your kid into Drugs? Let’s help you find out

Alcohol, cocaine, sex, marijuana, ecstasy… They are very different addictions but with a common denominator: the suffering they produce not only affects the addict but also the people in their immediate environment.

HE WILL ALWAYS DENY IT

The affected person can’t avoid it – it is part of their problem. Lying is part of this disorder and is just another more way to avoid problems and confrontation. The shame and anguish involved in recognizing that they are still doing it leads to lies.

YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO HELP HIM WITHOUT KNOWING THE TRUTH

It is so bad to ignore if he keeps taking drugs secretly. Accusing him of doing drugs is just going to be another thing that backfires in this situation. If your suspicions are unfounded and you are constantly accusing him, the affected person becomes helpless and it can cause him extra stress. Unfortunately, this stress can end up pushing them back into the game.

Family and teachers are the main ways in which young people receive the right information about drugs. For a long time, the consumption of psychotropic substances is not only a problem of marginal sectors, nor does it entail social stigma. The young person with addiction problems has a normalized profile and their problem goes unnoticed until it worsens.

Identifying the problem

There are many ways to know if a teenager is using drugs, and it is normal for teenagers to raise suspicions. In our opinion, the adolescent by definition is rebellious and it is normal for him to make experimental use of substances. However, if the problems related to consumption continues, the parents should start to worry and address the problem.

We recommend that parents take action when they see that these factors pile up. There are three consumption indicators:

Physiological: smell of alcohol, breath of tobacco, excessively dilated or contracted pupils, redness and swelling or irritation of the eyes.

Behavioral: sleep disturbance, eating habits, schedule disorder and not doing housework or school work.

Emotional: irritability, emotional flattening, aggressiveness or isolation.

How to address the problem

If these factors are identified, the first thing to do is sit down and talk with your child. Parents must first inform themselves well and be prepared for the situation. You must be firm, but treat the issue with affection and with the intention of helping. Don’t rest on the laurels. According to the specialist, if the problem is identified, it is necessary to act as quickly as possible, since there is a risk that the problem will get bigger and the emotional and health dangers will be greater.

The way parents address the problem with their children is very important. Adolescence is a difficult age and being sensitive is very important. Avoid confrontation and escape dramas and alarmism.

Addictions cause problems in adulthood

Teenagers don’t realize how much drug use can become a problem. However, they should be aware. If a young person does not have a correct emotional learning because he is conditioned by alcohol and cannabis related products, he will not have a mature emotional state. Young people must learn to solve problems without the need to rely on drugs. To achieve this, families must remain vigilant, providing information and support to their children.
