 Crystal meth is a drug so potent that one hit can last for several hours. When a person ingests crystal meth they will feel a euphoric rush followed by an increased amount of energy that can last for several hours. Crystal meth addicts have been known to stay awake for days on end when high on this drug.
 Crystal meth is made from such household ingredients as lye, batteries, sudafed and draino. Once these chemicles are processed they create crystal meth. Although many states have made the purchase of large quantities of sudafed illegal, it does not stop addicts from acquiring the drug. This is mostly because now, Mexican drug trafficking organizations are providing so much crystal meth to Georgia that addicts do not even have to worry about creating their own.
The only real way to stop a crystal meth addiction is by enrolling in a drug rehab. If you or anyone you know is in need of help for a crystal meth addiction please call our drug and alcohol counselors immediately. Help is available. |

Treatment Centers in Georgia For Crystal Meth Addiction
 Geiorgia continues to get most of its crystal meth from the Mexico-U.S. Southwest border area. Because of this and also because of the growing Mexican population, crystal meth has become one of the biggest drug threats to the state of Georgia.
There have been several methamphetamine seizures since 2002. Traditionally, the clandestine laboratory hot spots were in the northwestern counties; however, there have been recent slight shifts in laboratory activity near the extreme southwestern andeastern counties of the state.
One of the ways that officials in Georgia are trying to combat the methamphetamine epidemic is by passing new laws on the sale and purchase of pseudoephedrine (one of the main components to methamphetamine). In 2005, legislation was enacted to restrict the sale of over-the-counter medicine like Sudafed.
Because it is becomeing more difficult for people to buy the ingredients used to make methamphetamine there has been an increase in the availablility of Mexican manufactured crstallized methamphetamine, known as Ice, in the Atlanta metropolitan area.
Children in Georgia have caught on to the methamphetamine epidemic as well. 4% of 9th graders in this state have abused crystal meth at least once in their lives. By the tiem children reach the 12th grade that percentage increases to 6.7% of 12th graders who have abused crystal meth at least once in their lives.
There were 65 kilograms of methamphetamine seized in the state of Georgia in 2008. During 2008, there were 78 methamphetamine laboratories incidents in Georgia reported by the DEA and the state and local authorities. This is an increase from the 55 meth lab incidents reported in 2007.
During 2008, 26% of the Federally-sentenced defendants in Georgia had committed a drug offense. 13% of those offenders were incarcerated because of a methamphetamine-related charge.
According to the El Paso Intelligence Center, there were 21 children in Georgia affected by methamphetamine laboratories during 2008. |
