Adolescent Substance Abuse Treatment / Adolescent Treatment Initiative

Know The Signs

  • Abrupt mood changes
  • Isolation
  • Bursts of anger
  • Blood shot eyes
  • Staying up all night, sleeping all day
  • Poor hygiene
  • Overly secretive
  • Problems at school
  • Lack of motivation
  • Stealing
  • Borrowing more money
  • Questionable friends

These are some of the red flags (warning signs), that your child may be using drugs—especially if these changes happened suddenly.  

The most important thing you can do is to talk with your child.  Let him know that you are there for him no matter what -- that you believe in him -- that you are concerned for his safety-- that you will safeguard his future. Most of all, that you love him.

If you are concerned that your child is using drugs, call the Adolescent Substance Abuse Treatment program of Child and Family Services, 1-800-640-6486 or click here.
