Methamphetamine is a man made drug that is also referred to as Ice, Crystal, Crank, Glass or plain and simple, Meth. This drug has taken over rural America, young and old alike use it. When a person first starts using Methamphetamine they perceive that the drug “helps” them. How? They feel more productive, more able to get things accomplished, more social (chatty) and some users report that Meth helps them to focus on tasks. Guess what, they may be correct at least initially.
Meth can be ingested into the body is several ways, some addicts eat it, mix it in a glass of iced tea, snort it, smoke it and Meth can also be injected straight into the veins. Methamphetamine is a stimulant, creates a sense of euphoria, users become hypersexual, obsessed with tasks or items and extremely paranoid. Meth addicts do not sleep and can stay up for days while taking Meth. When they finally do come down it is referred to as a “crash” and addicts may sleep for two or more days.

A person strung out on Meth may hear voices and may see things that are not there. They start to think that they have bugs crawling all over their bodies and will pick at their skin leaving large sores all over their bodies. The sad truth is that addicts believe these delusional thoughts to be real and become psychotic. Too much use for too long a period of time can result in permanent psychosis; addicts can have a psychotic break and never return to normal thinking patterns. Because addicts are often completely delusional a drug intervention may be required to get the person in to a meth rehab in the first place.
