Drug Rehab in Connecticut Sees increased Methamphetamine

Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center has noticed a trend in articles published showing that many Mexican drug cartels are now using the same routes that they use to smuggle cocaine and heroin to smuggle meth as well as the ingredients to make meth to the east coast. Anectodotal evidence suggests that the drug cartels are using the economic downturn as a catalyst to produce and introduce the cheap and potent drug.

Meth has severe effects on the brain and the body. The drug artificially boosts self confidence causing many people to be overcome by a condition known as “Superhuman Syndrome”. While in this state meth users ignore their physical limitations and attempt to do things which they are normally incapable of performing. These behaviors can cause serious health problems or even lead to death. The drug is so addictive because people who abuse the drug want to avoid the crash associated with coming off of the drug. Often the only way out is Drug rehab.

Methamphetamine stimulates the central nervous system, causing chemical reactions in the brain and tricking the body into believing it has unlimited energy supplies and draining energy reserves needed in other parts of the body. This is why meth addicts tend to stay awake for long periods of time and then eventually crash, feeling tired, depressed and much worse than they did before they took the drug. Chemical imbalances in the brain and sleep deprivation commonly associated with continued crystal meth addiction eventually result in hallucinations, extreme paranoia and often bizarre, violent behavior.
Meth addiction causes extensive damage to the body, and can cause death or permanent physical damage. This is why it is important to get a suffering meth addict in to addiction treatment at Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center.
