Heroin is the Drug of Choice
People addicted to heroin often start with gateway drugs such as alcohol and marijuana. Heroin is relatively inexpensive. Starts with smoking and escalates to intravenous drug use. Ongoing use of heroin causes dependency and addiction. Over time the use causes the body to deteriorate and users will need to take larger amounts of the drug and for longer than they intended to take it. Dependency causes use in dangerous situation and to maintain dependency outweighs income. This can lead to theft so user can sustain their addiction.

Drugs can be hidden almost anywhere
Teens are getting increasingly savvy at hiding drugs. If your teen is using drugs they are on the path to addiction and will do anything to hide their drugs so they can continue using without interference. Keep an eye out for unusual behavior, new acquaintances, and strange smells. If you suspect or know they are using drugs, in order to try to find drugs look for unused items (e.g. peanut butter jars that seem untouched, air fresheners, an out of place bottle of water), any item with pockets or battery compartments, or any item that can be hollowed out (e.g. a book, Chapstick, or unused power strip). Just keep in mind drugs can be stored anywhere imaginable.
Common hiding spots
Duct work Light switches or
- utlets
False drawer bottoms Old board games Deodorant sticks, water bottles, or
- ther containers they
