Meth Addiction Treatment


Methamphetamine Addiction Treatment

Methamphetamine abuse and addiction has both physical and non-physical symptoms. Methamphetamine or meth also has a number of other street names such as crystal meth, meth, crank, chalk, or speed. The substance itself is a white or lightly colored crystal-like drug that is taken in a variety of ways. The most common ways to take meth is injecting, inhaling, or smoking the substance, but can also be taken orally.

The strong desire of continued use that Meth causes the user is generally caused by the false sense sense of happiness, confidence, and energy that is created by the drug. Six to eight hours is the typical life of the high produced from methamphetamine, sometimes in extreme cases the high can last up to a full day. The heightened paranoia stage of meth abuse is commonly referred to as “Tweaking”, this is the stage where the drug can cause users to have mental or physical breakdowns and hallucinations.

A Meth Addiction has both psychological and physical effects and is a disease that must be monitored and maintained with lifelong treatment.
