Support for family and friends with alcohol and drug concerns 

Do you have a loved one you’re concerned about?

Knowing the symptoms of alcohol and drug misuse can be challenging.

Some signs include:

  • They often feel sick, low on energy, not looking after themselves, and changing in appearance (e.g., gaining or losing weight).
  • Changes in personality. They seem more lethargic, aggressive or experiencing mood swings.
  • Missing days off work or study and struggling to keep up.
  • Being in debt, not paying their bills, unexplained spending, or borrowing money and not paying it back.
  • There is an increase in secretive communication or changes in friendship groups.
  • They have unexplained accidents.
