			<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>
