Do you have a friend who is addicted?

It's hard to know exactly when to be concerned about a friend.

Want to help a friend?

It's hard to know exactly when to be concerned about a friend and what to do about the situation. Perhaps you have noticed that your friend has started lying or skipping school, his/her use of drugs has changed, or that your friend prioritizes drugs more than your friendship and other important things. There can be many signs that your friend needs help. The most important thing is that you continue to be curious and attentive.

Your role as a friend

No matter what situation your friend is in, remember the following about your role:

Your most important job is to be a FRIEND. It's not your responsibility what your friend chooses to do, but you can help them, be there for them and talk to them. It is difficult to be friends with someone with an addiction, and the situation can make you feel divided, uncomfortable, etc. It is a good idea to talk to someone about your thoughts and experiences. It's great that you want to help your friend but remember your own limits and needs.
