Signs of Meth Abuse

The discovery someone you care about is using meth is heart breaking. The signs of use are easy to identify if you know what to look for. You will notice definite change in behavior. Meth is a stimulant, it heightens the senses, and a feeling of well being is experienced. The user will become talkative and active. Insomnia develops, sometimes for days. They lose interest in eating, schoolwork, and relationships with non-users. Other users start hanging around. The person becomes secretive, locking himself away for hours at a time. Things of value start to disappear. Soon, irritability from lack of sleep sets in. They become distant and defensive about using. Hygiene starts to decline. They quit bathing, brushing their teeth, and combing their hair. As the addiction progresses, they disappear for days without telling anyone where they have been. They become secretive about their friends. Life is in disarray. They become a shell of their former self. This is a painful time for loved ones. Going days on end wondering when the call will come with news of an overdose or death.

Emotional signs of meth abuse:

Change in behavior More active than normal Talkative Insomnia Loss of interest in eating Loss of interest schoolwork Loss of interest in relationships Strange friends hanging around Irritability They become distant and defensive They become secretive Disappear for days without explanation

The physical signs of meth abuse are unmistakable. Smoking meth involves using glass pipes or tin foil. The presence of pipes with residue or foil that appears burnt is an indication of use. Butane lighters and miniature torches used to melt the drug are present. There will be a noticeable smell of burnt plastic. Small plastic bags carrying the drugs will be found. The discovery of syringes and spoons indicates intravenous use. You might find a “kit” that contains all the paraphernalia needed to administer the drug. A telltale sign of blood on sleeves and pants is a sign of IV use, as well as needle marks on the arms and legs. To hide the needle marks the addict will wear long sleeve shirts even in hot weather.

Manufacturing methamphetamine has become popular. Contributing to its popularity is the ease of obtaining the ingredients and simple process involved. Empty cold and sinus pill packages, chemical odors, such as acetone and toluene, and ammonia permeate the air. Most of these solvents are highly carcinogenic. The process also involves lithium from disassembled batteries. Lithium is toxic and volatile. Making meth is nasty and dangerous. However, the nature of meth addiction causes the user to think he can manufacture the drug and get by with it. It seems that once they pass this threshold, their inhibitions lower and leads to other criminal conduct. By this time, they are deep into their addiction.

Signs of meth manufacture:

Empty cold and sinus pill packages Chemical odors Empty cans of industrial solvents such as toluene or acetone Ammonia smell Presence of disassembled lithium batteries Presence of drain cleaner containing lye Presence of pool or concrete cleaner containing hydrochloric acid

If you suspect someone of using meth, be proactive. The sooner they attempt to quit the better. Meth abuse is a progressive addiction. The longer it is used, the harder it is to quit.
