How do I know if I need help, or if a loved one needs help?

There are a few factors involved in identifying if someone needs help with substance abuse and addition. If you or your loved one is using drugs or alcohol frequently, without limitations, or every day, then help is absolutely necessary.

Once it has become clear that the substance is controlling someone’s life, then seeking help is the answer. Even if you or your loved one is a “functioning” addict/alcoholic, meaning that they can get up and go to work without hindrance, maintain relationships, home/personal responsibilities, etc. it still may not be enough.
