Understanding the Danger of Methamphetamine Addiction
Methamphetamine is taken via injections, snorted, smoked or taken orally. The drug creates a rush or high that the user's brain and body quickly become addicted to. Once a methamphetamine addiction develops, the person will start to experience dangerous long-term physical and mental effects such as:
- Paranoia
- Hallucinations
- Compulsive behaviors
- Delusions such as the feelings of parasites or bugs crawling in the skin causing obsessive scratching and skin sores
- Psychosis resulting in violent behavior
- Weight loss
- Severe dental problems, often called "meth mouth"

Methamphetamine Withdrawal
It is virtually impossible for someone to recover from an addiction to meth on one's own. Methamphetamine withdrawal symptoms such as cravings, anxiety, fatigue, intense hunger and depression can be severe. The symptoms can be so uncomfortable that the person experiences a strong need to relapse and use the drug again to alleviate the discomfort. Fortunately, at quality treatment centers such as Stepping Stone Center for Recovery, the detox process can be safe and comfortable.
Methamphetamine addiction is an extremely serious addiction. Also called speed, meth, chalk and crank, methamphetamine wreaks havoc on a person's physical and emotional well-being. If you have been trying unsuccessfully to kick a methamphetamine addiction, things may seem hopeless. But do not give up! With the right kind of treatment you can turn your life around.

TESTIMONIALS
I know you will never believe it but it has been ten and a half months since I finished treatment and am still in recovery. I know you will say it may be more of a miracle that I finished rehab being that I was about as resistant a patient can be, but I am making it one day at a time. Special thanks to Robert.
-- Terrance G, Morristown, New Jersey
This is to my therapist Bobby, who never gave up on me. I could never have made it through rehab without your patience. You taught me that I am worth it.
-- Bryan, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
My life was a shambles, my husband wanted a divorce and my children wouldn't speak with me. I felt hopeless until we all got together for family treatment. While we all have some hills to climb, my recovery is solid. Who would have thought, 476 days sober. Love to all.
-- Patti P, Atlanta, Georgia
You guys were right when you told me to get right into meetings. They have kept me clean and sober and I have made a lot of good friends. Thanks for bringing meetings into rehab.
-- Dean W, Dallas Texas
