Do you have a friend who is addicted?

Want to help a friend?

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.
