About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

Meth use causes changes in the users brain. Researchers have found that the areas of the users brain most affected by meth are the areas that control memory, emotion and reward.
Recently, University of Iowa researchers recommended longer treatment times for meth abusers and identified areas of research that could help improve treatment.
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.
Meth addiction costs Americans an estimated $484 billion each year. This amount includes healthcare costs (and abuses of that system), lost job wages, traffic accidents, crime and the associated criminal justice system costs.
You may be surprised to read that meth comes in many forms. This drug is smoked, snorted, orally ingested, or injected. Meths ability to alter the users moods in different ways depending on how it is taken is somewhat unique.
