Drug abusers often display a range of characteristics, including:

Continued use despite knowing it exacerbates physical or psychological problems.

Using larger amounts or over longer periods than intended.

Experiencing withdrawal symptoms.

Spending significant time obtaining, using, or recovering from the substance.
