About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

Meth addicts will change the way they behave. If you suspect that someone you care about is using meth, observe any drastic changes in their behavior. If they were once open and outgoing and now are closed off and secretive this is a sign of addiction.
When a person is on meth their behavior often changes. They may be easily agitated, feel wired, act unpredictably and do this repetitiously.
Crystal Meth is a central nervous system stimulant and is very, very addictive. Nearly half of first time crystal meth users and more than 3/4 of second time crystal meth users report addiction-like cravings. 
As a meth user continues to take the drug their behavior becomes unpredictable. They may be friendly and calm one moment and then become angry and terrified the next.
The Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs collects client data from all publicly monitored treatment providers in California. The percent of individual clients under 21 years old admitted with a primary meth problem increased from 15.8 percent of admissions in State Fiscal Year 2000-2001 to 24.7 percent in State Fiscal Year 2004-2005. Further, female youth clients admitted with a primary methamphetamine problem increased from 25.8 percent in State Fiscal Year 2000-2001 to 35.7 percent in State Fiscal Year 2004-2005.
