			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Methamphetamine is a stimulant drug that attacks the nervous system.  Methamphetamine is one of the newest drugs that is most commonly abused in the present.  &#8220;Meth&#8221;, as the drug is also called, has one of the highest level of potential for abuse.  Meth can be taken in a number of different ways.  Methamphetamine can be taken by orally, by smoking, through snorting, or needle injection.  It is made up of a crystaline powder, thus its other surname, &#8220;crystal meth.&#8221;  In addition to the nervous system, methamphetamine is a drug that highly affects the brain as well.  It highly affects the state of the brain chemical, dopamine.  Due to the chemical imbalance of dopamine in the brain, this often serves as the root to the meth addiction.  In addition to our motor functions, dopamine is the chemical in the brain that is highly related to the desires and the pleasures that we experience.</p>
<p>Meth is also said to affect your capacity to listen.  When methamphetamine abuse occurs, your ability to listen and comprehend is highly jeopardized.  Meth also has the potential to affect the way that you express yourself.  Due to the mal-activity that is going on in the brain, this may cause a person&#8217;s emotions to go array.  Methamphetamine attacks the brain in a number of many other ways.  Meth can also have an effect on a person&#8217;s capability to think.  As a result, it can potentially attack a person&#8217;s reasoning skills.  Methamphetamine also has the ability to damage a person&#8217;s memory.</p>
<p>Methamphetamine is treated in a number of ways, but what currently seems to be the most effective mode of treatment for meth addiction is cognitive-behavioral treatment.  This type of meth abuse treatment is aimed at attacking the symptoms that are associated with the taking of the drug.  It is designed to improve the thought pattern and motor skills so that a person is more attainable to reach the goal of overcoming the addiction.  This type of meth treatment is a twelve step program.  There is currently no medication that is available to treat people to overcome their meth addiction, so the methamphetamine treatment is therapy counseling based.  It includes cognitive therapy, behavior therapy, individual counseling, group counseling, and drug testing.  Since there are currently no drugs that are available to help with the process, methamphetamine addicts have to put their best foot forward, and use the support of the staff in order to free their addiction.</p>

<p>The very first meth addicts go back to the 1890s. Methamphetamine was created during that period in Japan. From there, it was during World War II that methamphetamine began to be distributed to the German military. Most of the original meth addicts were believed to have used the drug for its medical purposes. Since then, meth addiction began to erupt as a quiet phenomenon, until it exploded. In the 1950s, Japan had outlawed the drug, because the number of meth addicts indicated that it was used more than just for medicinal purposes. It was deciphered that there were many meth addicts that had been using the drug for recreational use. From there, meth addicts began to abundantly subside by the 19780s. In the present tense, meth addicts are more present than ever. Meth addicts have become so abundant that the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act was initiated in the year of 2005. To cut down on the meth addiction, the approach was to attack the making of the drug. The Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act decreased the amount of pseudoephedrine and ephedrine that one can buy in order to cut down on the production of the drug.</p>
<p>Meth addicts have an addiction that does a great deal of damage to the body. A meth addict has associated symptoms that are quite damaging to the brain. As a meth addict, many of the brain functions are lost or on the verge of being as such. A meth addict will be impaired with his or her ability to think, a meth addict will have memory damage, and a meth addict will experience the incapacity to completely cope with and oversee hie or her emotions. Meth addicts experience a high that lasts much longer than most drugs, so that is more potential for a meth addict to not be able to function in the proper manner for extended periods of time, up to twenty four hours. Therefore, a meth addict suffers from immediate brain damage, as well as the results of the brain damage that has occurred over not much time at all.</p>
<p>A meth addict will also have an appearance that reflects his or her addiction. One of the common attacks on meth addicts&#8217; physical appearance is the rotten teeth. There is also the sunken in face that many meth addicts develop. A meth addict will suffer from intense dry skin, as the addiction is known to affect the body in this way, as well. Severe weight loss, a tremendous lack of energy, and constant sweating are also some of the symptoms that a meth addict will have to deal with, as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The effects of crystal meth are deadly.

<p>Drug abuse can be defined as when a person repeatedly uses a mood altering substance in order to support their addiction to the drug. People abuse drugs One of the key distinctions that fits the characterization of that are of illegal consumption, or are sold in prescription medical form.drug abuse is the fact that the substance is not being used for its intended purpose. Another distinction to make about although many drugs may have mood altering effects, they are not always taken for that purpose. For instance, there are some drugs, such as steroids, that are not taken specifically to alter a mood or disposition. People will usually abuse drugs such as this when they would like to achieve a certain body type, and/or they would like to have a more competitive stance over others.</p>
<p>Drug abuse, by definition has evolved over the years to many. This is because some believe that those that abuse drugs have to abuse drugs that are seen as illegal, or a harmful drug in their eyes. In the past, there are some that were known to abuse drugs, but it was not considered as such because they believed that drug abuse could not occur in those that were using the substance for medicinal purposes. For example, the earliest instances of those that would abuse drugs for medicinal purposes were those that were addicted to methamphetamine for their medical conditions. Another example of those that are deemed to be guilty of drug abuse, but are of a group that has a high percentage of its members that do not believe that they abuse drugs are those that smoke marijuana. They take on the point of view that they do not have a drug abuse issue because they do not believe that marijuana is an addictive drug, or that it is a dangerous substance. Nonetheless, whether a person that smokes marijuana feels that they abuse drugs or not, there are harmful effects that are associated with the drug, such as trouble with learning and memory, hallucinations, problems with perception, increased heart rate, disorientation, and lung infections.</p>
<p>Alcohol is also a major contender for drug abuse. There are some that will attest to the point that they do not abuse drugs wholeheartedly, even if they abuse alcohol. To some, it is believed in order to be deemed as a person that tends to abuse drugs, the drug can not be in a liquid form. They certainly do not believe that drug abuse is related to a substance that is sold over the counter in liquor stores. This type of drug abuse can give off just as many harmful effects as any other drug there is. Alcoholism is known for having dangerous characteristics that exude intense cravings for the substance, loss of control, including a high chance for participating in violent acts or feeling extreme depression.</p>

<p>Treatment for drug abuse is highly based on the individual. The same method for drug abuse treatment may be used in all patients, but the way that the methods influence each patient will vary. This is because one of the most important aspects of drug abuse treatment is that the individual has to have a deep desire to change their habits. Thus, a large portion of the treatment for drug abuse will entail assisting a person with changing his or her mindset and behaviors. Since the success of drug abuse treatment highly depends on the individual, the sooner that one goes out and gets drug abuse treatment, the higher the potential for favored results. On the other hand, it has also been noted, that it is never too late to get treatment for drug abuse, there is always the potential for success.</p>
<p>Drug abuse treatment will consist if a number of different therapy approaches. Drug abuse treatment programs have constructed methods that seem to work most effectively. Nevertheless, there is often an person centered approach to the treatment for drug abuse. This can be most clearly displayed through the individual counseling that is structured in to the drug abuse treatment programs on a consistent basis. The treatment for drug abuse does not only consist of ongoing meetings with therapists and counselors. Most drug abuse treatment programs also incorporate the help and support of family members and friends, if not initially, when the treatment center believes that it is the right and proper time in the process.</p>
<p>Treatment for drug abuse will also look to gain an improvement on a person&#8217;s social skills. This is often proven to be an important component to drug abuse treatment because, a common issue that is often present, that makes a person engage in drug abuse, is the fact that they can not properly deal with the everyday stressors of life.</p>
<p>Treatment for drug abuse largely deals with changing a person&#8217;s behavior pattern. This is why some of the treatment for abuse will entail making the patient well aware of the consequences or rewards of his or her behavior. Therefore, drug abuse treatment centers will make it a point to aim their focus on rewarding good deeds, and allocating some type of punishment for those that are not. This element of treatment for abuse is conducted in order to ensure that the individual learns the importance of making the right choices in his or her life.</p>
