About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

The Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs collects client data from all publicly monitored treatment providers in California. Client counts with a primary meth problem increased from 46, 1998 in State Fiscal Year 2001-2002 to 58,039 in State Fiscal Year 2004-2005. A majority of this increase in the percentage and number of clients entering treatment for meth use is due to a large increase in the number of individuals referred from the criminal justice system. Particularly those referred to rehab from the Substance Abuse Crime Prevention Act (SACPA) of 2000.
Crystal meth is damaging to many areas of the body -- including the brain, kidneys and liver -- but the heart damage can be extensive. Its use can cause symptoms such as irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), rapid pulse, high blood pressure, inflammation of the small blood vessels near the brain and/or inflammation of the heart lining (endocarditis).
Drug users began injecting amphetamines similar to meth during the 60s in order to achieve a more intense "high."
What does meth look like? It is often a white or yellowish crystalline powder. Sometimes it appears as a large hard rock. The drug is odorless and has a bitter taste.
Like amphetamines, meth use causes increased activity, decreased appetite, and a general sense of well-being in the user. The effects of the drug can last 6 to 8 hours.
