Methamphetamine is a growing concern in The U.S
Meth addiction is a growing concern that has spread to all areas of the United States. In 1999, 4.3% (9.4 million individuals) of the U.S. population reported trying meth at least once in their life. The more elevated rate of meth use was among adults ages 18-25. Even though meth use is an epidemic across the country, nowhere is it a bigger problem than in the Midwest. In fact, meth accounts for almost 90% of all drug cases in the Midwest, and is most prevalent in the state of Oklahoma. Meth is now surpassing cocaine as the drug of choice in Oklahoma. The state medical examiner's office reports the amount of fatality cases testing positive for meth have been higher than cocaine for the past three years. The office also reports meth is present in more and more cases of homicides, and motor vehicle accidents.
Meth is a stimulant that copies the way the chemicals in the brain produce and transmit messages of gratification to the brain's pleasure center. Someone can become dependent on meth nearly immediately after their first time using the drug. Researchers think that this is because the drug is able to produce a manufactured sense of pleasure due to the way meth interacts with the user's brain. Like the body's natural hormone adrenaline, meth raises heart rates, blood pressures, and breathing rates. Because of the body's physical as well as physiological reactions to meth, the brain starts to expect the immediate gratification that it has become accustomed to. Because the use of meth brings on this sense of instant gratification, it becomes more difficult for life's normal rewards to create the same sense of pleasure.
Over time, the person places more trust in meth's effects while other regions of daily life seem diminished and unimportant. Initially, this occurs on a physical level rather than on a psychological level. Once the physical dependence occurs, the individual continually strives to achieve the initial "rush" they felt the first time they used meth. This is not possible though; because of meth's ability to suppress and deplete the brain's manufacture of normal chemical messages that create pleasurable feelings. Chronic meth use modifies the brain by forcing it to adapt to the presence of meth and lowers the production of other normal chemical messengers.
Psychological meth addiction is due to the controlling effects of the drug on the individual's pleasure center. Meth starts to rule over the individual's life, requesting attention at all times. The individual then resent circumstances when they are unable to use meth, such as non-using friends, work, school, and family. As this resentment grows, the individual will push away those who no longer "fit" into their desired new lifestyle.
