The holidays are here—full of joy, connection, and celebration—but they can also be the season when substance use issues quietly intensify.
What does concerning substance use really look like during this time of year?
It’s not always the obvious signs. More often, it shows up as:
🔹 Avoidance — skipping family gatherings, “laying low,” or disappearing for stretches of time.
🔹 Isolation — withdrawing from friends, routines, or support systems.
🔹 Uncharacteristic mood changes — irritability, anxiousness, or a short fuse that feels out of place.
🔹 Functional decline — calling out of work, missing commitments, or struggling to keep things together behind the scenes.
🔹 Escalating dependence — using substances to cope with stress, grief, financial pressure, or holiday expectations.
🔹 A quiet sense of overwhelm — the kind someone tries to manage alone.
If any of this sounds familiar—whether for yourself, a family member, or a client—you’re not alone, and you don’t have to wait for the new year to take action.
