Methamphetamine Addiction Treatment in North Palm Beach

Effective Rehabilitation Programs for Meth Abuse Issues

Methamphetamine, commonly shortened as “meth,” is a highly addictive stimulant. The drug has a crystalline structure that has earned it other names including “ice,” “crystal,” or “crystal meth.” Although methamphetamine does have some medicinal properties, such as treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), it is more often used recreationally. The addictive properties of the drug mean it can be easily abused. Most meth users struggle to quit, and can suffer from the physical and mental effects of the drug.

The Dangers of Meth Addiction

In the short term, meth use produces the same effects as other stimulants. A user may experience feelings of euphoria and increased activity. As dependence increases, users require greater quantities of the drug to achieve the same effects. Users may also find that they are unable to feel any pleasure when they are not using meth.

As a person uses greater quantities of meth, the drug will take a toll on their mental and physical wellbeing. Meth use can cause significant damage to tissues and internal organs, and contributes to heavy tooth decay as well. The mental effects of long term meth use may include anxiety, paranoia, psychosis, depression, hallucinations, and insomnia.

Meth is produced by combining pharmaceutical products and chemicals. It can be created with cheap, easy to acquire substances such as cold medicines that contain pseudoephedrine. Because meth can be made inexpensively, it is often produced in highly dangerous conditions and may be cut with other hazardous substances. The conditions under which a lot of meth is produced only adds to the risks of using this dangerous drug.

Signs & Symptoms of Meth Addiction

Meth addiction can develop quickly, sometimes after as little as one or two doses. Only a licensed physician can diagnose methamphetamine use disorder, but there are a number of telltale physical and behavioral signs of meth abuse.

You may be addicted to meth if you experience at least two of the following symptoms:

• Strong cravings for meth
• Difficulty accomplishing home, school, or work-related tasks because of meth
• Inability to stop using meth despite adverse effects and the desire to quit
• Quitting or cutting back on hobbies you once loved to use meth
• Taking meth for a longer period of time or in greater doses than you had planned
• Spending a lot of time using meth or crashing after a binge
• Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when you stop using meth
• Developing a tolerance to meth which requires you to take a greater dose to experience the same effects

Meth addiction typically can be identified by the following signs:

• Aggressive or chaotic behavior
• Burns on fingers or lips from smoking, nosebleeds from snorting, or track marks from injecting meth
• Changes in eating and sleeping habits
• Dilated pupils
• Excessive energy
• Fast, rambling speech
• Isolating from friends and family
• Major changes in behavior that occur quickly
• Mood swings
• Scratching at skin enough to cause sores
• Significant weight loss
• Talking and moving more than usual
