What are the Odds in Kansas?

One in twelve young adults (ages 19-28) have used methamphetamine

Emergency room visits due to methamphetamine increases by 50%

Treatment admissions for methamphetamine increases seven fold in the last 10 years

Surpassing marijuana, methamphetamine is now the greatest drug threat in Kansas.

A man-made drug, methamphetamine triggers the body into releasing large amounts of dopamine resulting in a sense of pleasure or euphoria. With levels that are four times higher than the amount of dopamine released by cocaine it can produce a high that lasts from 6 to 24 hours, but it also depletes the stores and destroys dopamine receptors.

The individual is left with an intense craving for the drug as they can no longer experience pleasure and without it they slip into a deep depression. It's why users become addicted to the drug so quickly.

Statistics show that 80 percent of people who try the drug become addicted after one time of use. And of those who get hooked only 5 percent try to kick the habit. The addictive nature is so great that even those individuals with the desire to quit are unable to stop without some form of drug rehab assistance.

Meth is a drug that the individual cannot use socially without getting hooked. Recreational drugs such as cocaine and ecstasy are highly addictive in themselves but they don't come close in comparison since its quite common for somebody to use meth one to two times and become immediately addicted. Nonetheless, that's how kids are treating the drug. Today one out of seven high school students either have or will try it out.

For those unfortunate enough to have developed this drug addiction what follows is a body ravaged by toxic chemicals and a mind set which cares of nothing except the next score. So powerful is the need to get high that children of addicts become neglected and abused while theft and violent crime simply becomes a mean to feed the habit. It's an insidious drug that ruins not only the life of the individual but also the lives of their loved ones.

But there are successful drug rehab programs and addicts can be helped. One need not feel that all is lost or that nothing can be done about it. If you or some you know is using methamphetamine it's time to get help. One can safely withdraw and regain the life that has been lost by addiction.
