Crystal Meth Abuse Help in Alaska
 There are two different types on Methamphetamine in Alaska; meth that is produced locally in illegal methamphetaine laboratories, and methamphetamine that is imported into Alaska. Also, meth continues to be available as it is often sent through mail services like UPS and FedEx.
Alaska has continued to see problems with crystal meth being transported into the state from the lower 48 states. Interestingly, there were no meth lab incidents reported in 2007. Officials attribute this to heightened security measures regarding the sale of ingredients used to manufacture meth as well as a state-wide campaign to educate Alaskan residents on the danger of methamphetamine abuse. This probably prevents new people from experimenting with crystal meth, however current crystal meth addicts are acquiring their drugs from drug trafficking organizations that bring methamphetamine into the state.
Despite the state's best efforts, meth abuse continues to be a problem for children in this state. 2.4% of 9th graders have abused crystal meth at least once in their lives. Children surveyed in 10th grade, only a one year difference, report that 6.1% of them ahve abused crystal meth at least once in their lives.
The Federal government seized 1.9 kilograms of methamphetamine in 2007. ABADE Units seized 3,952.30 grams of the drug as well.
During 2007, 34.6% of the Federally-sentenced defendants in Alaska had committed a drug offense. 22.2% of those defendants had committed a meth-related crime.
Alaska Treatment Centers for Crystal Meth Addiction
Crystal meth is one of the most lethal man-made drugs on the market. It is made out of ingredients like lye, battery acid, and pseudophedrine. Through a sophisticated lab process the ingredients are mixed together to form crystal meth. The drug produces a speed-like high that can last for several hours. Most people addicted to crystal meth will cite feelings of euphoria and high levels of energy as the reason why they continued their abuse for so long.
The world of a crystal meth abuser is unlike any other. It is filled with unseen objects, paranoia, severe cravings, and a distinct disconnection with the rest of the world. Most people have seen the effects of crystal meth to the body. These include meth mouth (the rotting of the teeth), severe weight loss, lifeless eyes, poor complexion, and poor hygeine. This is all due to the abuse of the drug yet can be handled with crystal meth addiction rehab. |
