			<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>
