As more and more people report an addiction to methamphetamine hospitals around the country are faced with a new problem – saving the babies born to mothers who were abusing crystal meth during their pregnancy. Instead of enrolling in effective drug rehabilitation, these mothers continued to use the deadly drug, even after they found out they were pregnant. With only a handful of days into the new year it’s time to make a global resolution – to prevent these babies from following in their mother’s footsteps and stop this debilitating drug from claiming any more lives.
An addiction to crystal meth can start almost as soon as someone tries the drug for the first time. It’s a euphoric rush followed by a high that can last up to two days. This man made drug is most common in rural areas but is creeping out into the cities as well. Made from ingredients like Sudafed, drain cleaner, and batteries the side effects of this drug are terrifying. Users can experience mental retardation, blindness, uncontrollable twitches and meth mouth (rotting and loss of teeth).
Children can’t choose their mothers, but mother can choose a healthy life for their children.
