If you or anybody you know is suffering
from addiction from multiple substances,
you 
may 
have 
heard 
about
polysubstance abuse. But what 
is
polysubstance abuse, exactly?
Polysubstance abuse is a condition
where a person uses more than one
drug at the same time. Some people
intentionally use two or more drugs in
the hopes of experiencing the positive
effects of each drug. Doing this can be
very dangerous because it can lead to
dependence and worse, addiction.
People who suffer from polysubstance
abuse need extensive care because they
are most 
at 
risk of 
developing
psychiatric health conditions. If you
know someone who is battling addiction
to one or more substances, reach out to
treatment programs that will help you.
In order to protect yourself and your
family from this type of abuse, you have to
know all the signs and symptoms of
polysubstance abuse. Here is everything
you need to know and look out for about
polysubstance abuse.
What is Polysubstance Abuse?  
A person who has been using more than
one drug at a time is suffering from this

When the symptoms of polysubstance
abuse become evident to the patient,
that 
is when 
it 
becomes very
dangerous. That is when the person
will really need some help to work and
recover from their addiction.
Signs and Symptoms of Polysubstance
Abuse  
The type of drug that causes the
addiction and abuse to the patient’s
system plays a huge role  in whether the
signs and symptoms will be noticeable
or not. Some of the symptoms may go
unnoticed as the patient goes on with
their daily lives like normal. This is what
we call high-functioning addiction. Some
of the warning signs begin to show as
time goes by.
Massive change in behavior such as
hiding the drugs or shrugging it off
Being agitated and panicked all the
time
Always wanting to drink alcohol to
use along with medications
Changes in appearance such as
excessive weight loss and redness
of eyes
These symptoms include:

When you start noticing these signs on
your loved ones it means they are
reaching a level of tolerance and their
addiction may worsen. Dependence on
the substance is strong at this level and
withdrawal symptoms will eventually
show.
Polysubstance Abuse Treatment 
 
If you or somebody you know is going
through the signs of polysubstance
abuse, it is very important to take action
and seek help right away. It is important
for them to undergo specific treatments
to help them overcome and work through
their 
addiction 
and 
withdrawal
symptoms.

professional help to people who are

After the said treatments, it will be
easier to work through the addiction
and figure out why it started in the first
place. Acting as soon as the symptoms
appear is the most important thing to
do because the risk of other medical
complications and overdose are high.
Sooner or later, you will find your loved
one finally managing to overcome the
addiction and abuse, and go back to
their normal lives.
