It is easy for a person to get rid of addiction when he is at early stages. If you are parent of a teenager, you got to know if your child is falling prey to addiction. This is generally done by using a drug testing kit available. Even watching out for some symptoms of drug addiction can help you to detect addiction in your child at early stage.
Most common symptoms when a child is drug abused are frequent sniffles, cough, stuffy nose; sudden appetite, especially for sweets (“munchies”), or unexplained weight loss or loss of appetite; refusing food, lying about eating; tobacco smell on person or clothes. Even symptoms like overreaction to mild criticism, loss of motivation and enthusiasm can represent the drug abuse in your child.
