Crystal meth, the man-made drug that is slowly taking over our youth, can be stopped. The first step is recognizing the signs of crystal meth abuse. They are as follows:
Changes in appearance. Crystal meth will cause a person to lose weight, their faces may break out, they stop caring about their hygiene, and their eyes can become bloodshot. This is all due to the drug, and also from lack of sleep.
Changes in health. When a person is ingesting a drug whose main ingredient is draino their health will begin to suffer. The term, meth mouth was coined to explain they phenomenon of a person’s mouth after long-term meth abuse. Their mouths essentially rot out.
Changes in school performance. Crystal meth is a stimulant that provides a brief, euphoric high. Often times addicts will stay up for days at a time, resulting in poor school performance.
Insomnia, decreased appetite, increased agitation, paranoia, anxiety, missing money and new friends are all indicators that there may be a meth problem. The best way to know for sure is by administering an at-home drug test. These are available in almost any pharmacy and results are ready in just a few minutes.
The only real way to stop a crystal meth addiction is by enrolling in a drug and alcohol rehab. If you or anyone you know is in need of help for a substance abuse problem please call Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650 for immediate help.
