There are many types of drugs, illegal and prescription. And once drug use has started, behavioral changes will be the first flags. However, after a while, changes in physical appearance and health will begin to show up.

Here is a short list of signs and symptoms that might indicate drug abuse:

· Frequent nosebleeds
· Continued sniffing and blowing of the nose without other flu-like symptoms
· Flushed or very pale complexion
· Open sores on arms, face or neck
· Pupils dilated or constricted
· Smell of volatile substances like alcohol or solvents
· Sudden change in sleep habits, insomnia or oversleeping
· Trembling of the hands and feet or facial muscles
· Uncharacteristic hyperactivity

Of course, remember, these are indications of possible drug abuse in the individual. These symptoms can be the result of other factors. However, the greater number of these symptoms present, the greater the chance that the person is addicted to, or at least abusing drugs.
