Methamphetamine Addiction

Testimonials

"First a big thank you to you and your staff at the Christian rehab. It saved my husband's life and has ended up bringing our entire family closer together. It proved more difficult than I ever could have imagined to find a Christian rehab. It seemed so many other rehabs said they were Christ centered, but upon further investigation, it was just a marketing scheme. I m happy to say your rehab restored my husband's faith along with blessing him with his sobriety."
Ann B., Cleveland, Ohio

"I am now sober for eight months and active in church again. Who would ever have thought I could do it. I was so scared, but you made my detox comfortable, could always have used more medication though, just a joke. I am attending Christian counseling two times a week and it really helps. Again thanks, taking it one day at a time!"
Brad C., Jacksonville, Florida

"My son's life was a mess. He had been arrested twice for DUI's and was only getting worse each and every day. If it wasn't for your treatment center, I can't imagine where he would have ended up. I would recommend your Christian rehab, as he calls it, to anyone."
Beverly W., Omaha, Nebraska

"A Christian drug rehab, who would have thought I would have ever ended up there. Although when I took a look at my college studies it was clear I majored in opiates and alcohol. As you can tell, I have regained my sense of humor, am back in school and have put together six months of continued sobriety. I just wanted to say thanks."
George H., Knoxville, Tennessee

Methamphetamine Addiction:

A Heart-wrenching Path of Destruction

Methamphetamine has been called the deadliest drug in the world due to any user's vulnerability to its incredibly high addictive properties. Methamphetamine is so highly addictive that it is not uncommon for people to become addicted after only one or two uses! The reason is because methamphetamine use sets off extreme sensations of intense pleasure and euphoria when it causes the body to release ten times its normal amount of dopamine - the brain's natural pleasure chemical. It also prompts a rush of norepinephrine or adrenaline for a super-high rush.

Why do people use meth despite the destruction it causes?

Methamphetamine addiction tears apart families, depletes investments, erodes lives and shatters dreams. So why are millions abusing the drug? It's inexpensive, provides an unnatural euphoria and high that lasts for hours or even days. Users feel all-powerful and elated - on top of the world. Unstable homes, dark feelings that don't want to be faced, insecurity, self-consciousness and stress and childhood or adult trauma are all reasons that people choose to use methamphetamines to escape their reality into another world. Its easy accessibility and low cost are behind more and more people using methamphetamine.

Methamphetamine Addiction Facts

After only about three times using methamphetamine it will change your brain to elevate your need for the drug to the same level as anything else you have to do to survive - like breathing! It will send messages telling you that you must get more of it now!

It usually takes those with methamphetamine addiction far longer to recover than other addicts and experiencing more relapses.

Methamphetamine abuse and addiction erases rational decision-making as well as the body's cravings for food and sleep.

A quarter-gram or less fix can keep its user high for as long as 12 hours (10 hours more than cocaine on average).
