Know the signs...

How can you tell if a friend is using inhalants?
Sometimes it is tough to tell.  But there are signs you can look for.  If your friend has one or more of the following warning signs, he or she may be using inhalants:
  • slurred speech
  • drunk, dizzy, or dazed appearance
  • unusual breath odor
  • chemical smell on clothing
  • paint stains on the body or face
  • red eyes
  • runny nose
What can you do to help someone who is using inhalants?
Be a real friend.  Encourage your friend to seek professional help.  For information and referrals call the National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information at 1-800-729-6686.
