About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

Long-term effects of Crystal Meth use can include brain damage (similar to the effects of Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease), coma, stroke or death. Chronic users may also develop distinct physical symptoms, as demonstrated by before and after pictures in the Faces of MethTM program. Signs of chronic use include weight loss, tooth decay and cracked teeth (“Meth Mouth”), psychosis and hallucinations, sores on the body from picking at skin, and formication (an abnormal skin sensation akin to "bugs crawling on skin"). 
Meth addiction can cost the addict and society. In 2005 the cost of foster care for children from a meth-related placement averaged $3,859,836 (183x$21,092).
Meth users who suffer a meth-induced panic and psychosis can be extremely dangerous and may give way to extreme violence.
Research on animals over the last 20 years shows that high doses of meth can cause damage to neuron cell-endings. Dopamine and serotonin containing neurons do not die after meth abuse, but their nerve endings ("terminals") are cut back and re-growth appears to be stunted.
Meth use can cause long-lasting cognitive impairment. The user may suffer from a compromised ability to learn and perform basic verbal tasks and motor skills.
