The Devastating Health Effects of Meth

Drug rehabilitation can save lives. If you or a loved one has been abusing methamphetamine, you should know that meth causes dire physical and mental health problems. When you watch this video, you’ll hear from many meth addicts who are currently in the lifelong process of addiction recovery. They explain the paranoia, hallucinations, and cognitive problems that are characteristic of meth abuse.

This video also discusses some of the devastating physical effects of meth abuse, such as “meth mouth.” One woman describes how her teeth would crumble when she tried to eat. Another recovering addict explains how he would go into seizures and then not be able to remember what had happened. In addition, meth increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, deadly infectious diseases, as well as liver and kidney problems.
