Signs Of Addiction To Meth
After learning a lot about this highly-addictive drug after going through rehab at Pur Detox, I am able to look back at my methamphetamine addiction. Much of what I learned has helped me be able to speak to others who find themselves in the same situation that I was in – at the lowest point of their lives and looking for a way out of it. Two years ago, I found myself at Pur Detox in Laguna Beach, California when my family members took me to the luxurious rehab facility. Detox For The Exec
Commercially available in the United States, metamphetamine is manufactured with products that are easy to access. It imitates the way the brain’s chemicals manufacture and send messages of gratification to the brain’s pleasure center, with the user often becoming addicted shortly after their first use. Making more difficult for the life’s normal pleasures to create the same sense of satisfaction is the type of sense of gratification produced by meth.
My upscale rehabilitation experience at Pur Detox’s beautiful facility helped me see that individuals get hooked on meth because it enhances the senses. Pleasure, sex, and the ability to focus on tasks are intensified.
These effects do not last forever. The user notices that the effects decrease over time. Since it becomes difficult for the person to function without the meth, this is what causes individuals to take more and more in order to achieve the same results.
Crystal meth addiction was a big problem back in the 1960s and 1970s, but the black market was shut down and the problem soon faded. But then meth addiction once again became prevalent in the 1990s.
I was stunned to know that meth addiction is plethoric in the United States. 9.4 million people admitted to trying meth at least once indicated on one recent study. Majority of meth users’ ages range from 18 to 25 with 90% of drug use is taking place in the Midwest.
You might notice a change in behavior, such as agitation, rapid speech, a decrease in appetite, increased physical activity levels, and episodes of sudden and violent behavior, intense paranoia, visual and auditory hallucinations, and bouts of insomnia. You might also notice compulsive cleaning and grooming, and the user might repetitively sort and disassemble objects, such as cars and other mechanical devices.
More common signs of meth addiction include dilated pupils, bloodshot eyes, rotting teeth, flushed or tense appearance, open sores, breath that smells like chemicals, rapid speech, excessive sweating, severe weight loss, depression, paranoia, psychosis, grinding of the teeth, hallucinations, tremors, and memory loss.
