For Young Adults age 17-25

Teen Behavior when on Drugs

There are many signals that drug users, especially teens and young adults, display when they are using and abusing drugs. Here are a few examples:

  • Grades begin to drop
  • Slurred speech
  • Curfew violations
  • A change in friends
  • No concern about future
  • Red or glossy eyes and use of eye drops and washes

If you see these or any of the other many warning signs, do not wait but address your concerns immediately. The sooner you confront this the better and the sooner you can get your teen or young adult the help they need. Teen and young adults that live with their parents will often go to great lengths to hide their drug use and parents and guardians must be diligent in protecting their children from drugs. Early intervention is one of the best things you can do to help keep your child drug free.
