Methamphetamine Information

Methamphetamine_Information_Drug_Rehab.jpg

Methamphetamine is a stimulant which is generally produced in large laboratories in Mexico , the United States and Asia, or in small "toxic labs" in the United States . It can be injected or smoked. "Ice" is the crystallized form of methamphetamine and it is generally smoked. In all its forms, methamphetamine is highly addictive and toxic.



The onset of meth effects is about the same as cocaine, but they last longer. Meth remains in the central nervous system longer than cocaine, and chronic abuse produces a psychosis that resembles schizophrenia, and is characterized by paranoia, picking at the skin, preoccupation with one's thoughts and auditory and visual hallucinations. These effects can last for months and even years after using methamphetamine and violent and erratic behavior is often seen among chronic users.

Increased alertness, excitation, euphoria, increased pulse rate and blood pressure, insomnia and loss of appetite.

Drug and Alcohol Addiction Rehabilitation Center Success Story
I have had such wins here at the Narconon Arrowhead Drug Rehabilitation Center, it is just unbelievable. I had led a pretty productive and good life until I got into the world of drugs. I have used cocaine for the last three years heavily, and to the point I was eating out of garbage cans, stealing for my next fix, hurting and taking from those who loved me most. However, with this drug rehab program, I have learned how to live a productive life again. I have found my integrity, my morals, self-respect and those values I once lost. I can now respect myself and have respect for those around me. This drug rehab experience has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. T.H.
