Who Uses Meth?
Is it the soccer mom, or the pizza delivery boy or the school principal?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA), an estimated 14 million users currently use illegal drugs and according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (2002 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: National Findings), more than 12 million people age 12 and older reported that they had used methamphetamine at least once in their lifetime. Meth users come from all walks of life.
Until several years ago methamphetamine abuse and addiction was considered a regional problem confined mostly to the West and Southwestern United States. But today it is found everywhere in the country. Methamphetamine is an increasingly popular drug at raves, and as part of a number of drugs used by college-aged students. Marijuana and alcohol are commonly listed as additional drugs of abuse among methamphetamine treatment admissions.
Methamphetamine abuse and addiction can cause delusions, paranoia and hallucinations. Many people become so obsessed with using that they neglect their family and friends. Years of abuse and addiction can bring about emotional anguish, serious consequences and devastating effects on users and the people who surround them.
