About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

A low-intensity meth user will swallow (eat) or snort the drug primarily as an appetite suppressant or to provide extra stimulation for work or play.
Clients entering treatment with a diagnosis of meth dependency or abuse rose from 1,320 in fiscal year 2005 up to 2,150 in fiscal year 2008.
In 2006, a survey carried out by the National Survey of drug use and health noted that 5.77% of the US population over twelve years has used meth sometime in their life. The following year, Monitoring The Future carried out a similar survey among high schools which showed that 1.8% of eighth graders, 2.8% of tenth graders, and 3.0% of twelfth graders reported lifetime use of methamphetamine. In 2006, these percentages were 2.7%, 3.2%, and 4.4%, respectively. Women tend to use crystal meth more than they would use cocaine.
8% of the twelfth grade males in South Dakota admitted to using meth one or more times.
Research has shown that extended abuse of meth can cause damage to the users brain similar to that caused by Alzheimer's disease, stroke and epilepsy. This brain damage lingers for months and even after the user stops taking the drug.
