About Methamphetamine

Crystal meth is short for crystal methamphetamine: a recreational drug that resembles a white rock-like crystal and produces an intense, long-lasting high. Crystal meth use is dangerous and can lead to a wide variety of negative effects as well as the need for crystal meth rehab.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, more than 12 million Americans aged 12 and older have tried crystal meth at least once and more than 450,000 are current users; crystal meth is the fastest growing drug trend in the country.

The Dangers of Methamphetamine

Symptoms

Methamphetamines are highly addictive and crystal meth is often used as a “party drug.” When an individual uses crystal meth, they can easily become hooked and eventually need meth addiction help. Users often experience feelings of:

Euphoria
Increased energy or alertness
An intense, initial “rush”
Increased motivation
Heightened libido

Dangers & Effects

Crystal meth can be injected, snorted, or smoked, but no matter which way it’s taken, it can cause users to eventually need meth treatment. Use can lead to unpleasant and sometimes severe effects on a user’s mind and body that include:

Short-term effects include:

Heightened aggression
Emotional numbness
Loss of appetite
Muscle twitches
Changes in sleep patterns
High blood pressure
Unpredictable behavior
Rapid and/or irregular heart beat

Long-term effects include:

An increased risk of Rhabdomyolysis (breakdown of muscle tissues)
Psychosis
Weight loss (due to malnutrition)
Increased risk of blood-borne diseases
Tooth decay
Gray or yellow skin
Nasal and/or respiratory issues
Heart problems

Withdrawal

Crystal meth withdrawal symptoms don’t occur as quickly as withdrawal symptoms from other drugs. In fact, it can sometimes take one to three months for a crystal meth user to realize they’re going through withdrawal, which is why methamphetamine treatment is important. When they do go through withdrawal, feelings can become so intense that the user may become suicidal.

Here are some common symptoms:

Nausea
Anxiety or depression
Decreased energy
Dry mouth
Shaking
A feeling of hopelessness
Insomnia or excessive fatigue
Hallucinations
