How do I know if someone is addicted to drugs?

Posted by: RCX Editor In: Drug Addiction| Drugs and the Workplace| Preventing Drug Abuse and Addiction

If a person is compulsively seeking and using a drug despite negative consequences, such as loss of job, debt, physical problems brought on by drug abuse, or family problems, then he or she probably is addicted. Seek professional help to determine if this is the case and, if so, the appropriate treatment.

Okay, I find a person so addicted to drugs and he has all the manifestations (job loss, broken home, and dumped life) and everybody believes that he really is except he. He shrugs at the mere discussion of going through drug treatment programs and he keeps on weaving lies that he does not need any. He even says that it is us who should seek a treatment. What should we do to convince him he needs some help?
