Methadone Addiction – A Growing Concern
March 15th, 2008 by admin
Methadone addiction has moved from rural areas to the more populated suburban neighborhoods. Methadone, or Meth is sometimes known as “crank,” “hot ice,” “Hawaiian salt,” “diamond,” and “Southern dandy,” to name a few. Meth addicts can usually be spotted using a lollypop or Chapstick as they constantly feel their mouth is dry. Because it can be made by over the counter medications mixed with other easy to get substances, Meth labs have sprouted up in various places.
Methadone comes in a solid form that when heated, turns liquid. It gives the user a sense of tremendous calm and is highly addictive. Once hooked, this is a tough drug from which to withdraw. Withdrawal includes tearing at the skin, vomiting, profuse sweating and heart palpitations. It is advisable to withdraw from any drug under the care of a doctor or in a rehab facility, such as Mark Houston Recovery, which is a drug and alcohol rehab center located near Garland, Texas.
Although drugstores have taken steps to lock up certain cold medications that are commonly used to make Meth and dole them out sparingly, the drug is still widely used in suburban schools and the popularity of this highly addictive drug is growing. Methadone addiction is serious as is the legal implications of possessing the drug. If you know someone using Meth, urge them to seek help.
