Methamphetamines are a highly addictive central nervous system stimulants that can be snorted, smoked, injected, or ingested orally. Methamphetamine users feel an intense "rush" when they first take the drug. Immediately after taking meth, other effects include increased activity and decreased appetite. Methamphetamines have a limited medical use and are often used to treat narcolepsy, attention deficit disorders, and obesity. Methamphetamine is a drug chemically related to amphetamine but with stronger effects on the central nervous system. Street names for the drug include "speed," "meth," "crystal," and "crank." Long-term methamphetamine abuse almost always leads to addiction, violent behavior, anxiety, insomnia, and other types of mood disturbances, and violent. Additionally, psychotic symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, and paranoia will occur; these symptoms can last for months or years after methamphetamine use has ceased.
Of an estimated 108 million emergency room (ER) visits in the U.S. throughout 2005, there are estimates that roughly 108,905 ER visits were associated with methamphetamine abuse.
At SouthCoast Recovery, we have developed a meth treatment program that is highly effective in meth addiction treatment. Because meth stays in a person's body longer than other drugs like cocaine or alcohol, a longer program is generally recommended to treat such addiction. Our 90 day meth additction treatment program is far more effective than 30 day regimens. After initial detoxification and treatment for any psychotic symptoms and life-threatening conditions such as extreme high blood pressure and heart rate, the healing can begin.
