Mike & Glenn sit down in the coffee shop to discuss the signs and symptoms of drug addiction. Are they experts? No. But Mike shares that drugs are part of his story of recovery. With almost everyone he knows, they know someone who has a tragic addiction to Fentanyl or Opioids. 

Knowing the signs and symptoms to look for can help loved ones recognize a problem, and Sober.Coffee has collected a list of physical and behavioral signs of drug addiction. Keep in mind, some of these symptoms – like depression – might not be a drug addiction. But if you’re thinking it – pay attention to it.

Ultimately, if you think a loved one has a drug addiction, know that you cannot fix someone else’s drug problem. You can find resources for you:

• Al-Anon
• Individual Therapy
