About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

In the US, a typical meth lab employs something called the 'Red, White, and Blue Process', which entails hydrogenation of the hydroxyl group on the ephedrine or pseudoephedrine molecule.
Crystal meth, produced on the streets, is a more toxic form of pure meth and it has a blue color, glass like appearance. In medicine, it comes as a prescription drug in the tablet form, Desoxyn. It is far more addictive than the powered meth, thus crystal meth addiction is the most prominent form of the meth addiction.
Prescription methamphetamines are a Schedule II stimulant. This means it has a high potential for abuse and is available only through a prescription that cannot be refilled.
Meth addiction signs include changes in the users skin. It might look like they have bad acne on the arms, face and neck. Also, their hands and nails may appear to be in very bad shape.
Addiction treatment professionals have found that meth abusers do not necessarily need specialized treatment to conquer their addiction. However, they do need more time in intensive outpatient or residential drug treatment programs than they would normally receive.
