Alpharetta Drug Addiction Treatment

Recognizing the Signs of Drug Addiction

Drug addiction can take hold quickly or develop gradually. Signs to watch for include:

• Increased Tolerance – Needing larger amounts of the substance to feel the same effect.
• Withdrawal Symptoms – Experiencing anxiety, insomnia, sweating, nausea, or tremors when not using.
• Loss of Control – Using more or for longer than intended, or being unable to cut down despite wanting to.
• Neglect of Responsibilities – Sacrificing work, school, or family obligations in favor of drug use.
• Risky Behavior – Legal trouble, financial strain, or dangerous activities to obtain or use drugs.
• Persistent Use – Continuing to use despite negative consequences on health, relationships, and quality of life.

• Stimulant Addiction (cocaine, methamphetamine) – Emphasis on behavioral therapy, mental health support, and coping skills for stress management.
• Benzodiazepine Addiction (Xanax, Valium) – Gradual tapering protocols under medical supervision to mitigate withdrawal risks.
• Prescription Drug Misuse – Addressing misuse of medications such as ADHD treatments, sleep aids, or pain relievers.
• Polysubstance Abuse – Integrated plans for individuals using multiple substances, requiring coordinated medical and therapeutic interventions.
