Grievance/Complaint Form
Every overdose loss is more than a statistic. It's a son, daughter, parent, friend, or loved one.
Recognizing substance use in a friend or family member can be difficult, especially when changes happen gradually.
Substance use disorder is a medical condition, not a moral failing.
Early support and treatment can make a significant difference in recover y and long-term health.
Here are some simple signs to watch for:
Changes in Behavior
• Becoming secretive or dishonest
• Avoiding family, friends, or activities they once enjoyed
• Sudden mood swings, irritability, or anger
• Lack of motivation or interest in responsibilities
• Frequent financial problems or asking for money
Physical Warning Signs
• Bloodshot or glazed eyes
• Unusual weight loss or weight gain
• Changes in sleeping habits
• Poor hygiene or appearance
• Frequent nosebleeds, shaking, or slurred speech
Changes at Work or School
• Missing work, school, or appointments
• Declining performance or grades
• Increased absenteeism
• Loss of interest in career or educational goals
Signs at Home
• Missing prescription medications
• Finding drug paraphernalia such as pipes, syringes, rolling
papers, or pill bottles without labels
• Unexplained odors on clothing or in rooms
• Frequent need for privacy or locking doors
Emotional Signs
• Depression, anxiety, or paranoia
• Becoming unusually defensive when questioned
• Isolating from loved ones
• Extreme highs and lows in mood or energy
When to Be Concerned
One sign alone does not necessarily indicate substance use. However, several signs occurring together, especially over time, may suggest that someone is struggling and needs support.

In this eye-opening episode of Life, Learning & Lemonade, Cledus sits down with Lauren Barnes, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner at the OVP Health Recovery Center in South Point, Ohio, for an honest conversation about anxiety, depression, addiction, and the importance of seeking help.
Drawing from his own experiences with severe anxiety, depression, and substance use, Cledus shares how untreated mental health struggles led him down a path of self-medication and addiction. Lauren explains the strong connection between mental health disorders and substance use, emphasizing that many individuals turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with overwhelming symptoms.
The discussion explores what mental health treatment looks like today, from outpatient evaluations and individualized care plans to medication management and innovative tools, which can help providers better understand how a patient's body may respond to certain psychiatric medications.
Most importantly, Lauren and Cledus tackle the stigma surrounding mental health. They remind listeners that anxiety and depression are common, treatable conditions, and that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Whether you're struggling yourself or supporting a loved one, this episode offers reassurance that you don't have to face mental health challenges alone.
Help is available. And OVP Health can help. Just call 833.687.6876.
