Speed, also called methamphetamine, can be one of the most addictive drugs known to man. Many people get started on speed at their workplace where they're working hard, repetitive jobs, many times on the night or graveyard shifts, where it's extremely difficult to stay alert and awake.
Once a person gets started taking speed, they get used to that feeling of power and strength that it gives them, then it's difficult to quit. Speed can be incredibly addicting psychologically as well as physically. Let's take a look at some of the ways you can kick the speed habit.
When the speed addict wakes up in the morning, the first thing they want to do is get that first hit going so they're feeling good. Unfortunately, they're going to need more speed later on in order to maintain that same feeling of power and euphoria, then by the end of the day they are bouncing off-the-wall, talking in gibberish, with their eyes so wide open they look like cartoon characters.
After just a few months of taking large quantities of methamphetamine on a daily basis, it is possible to damage your nervous system irreparably. In addition, speed is damaging to the heart and circulatory system, the liver, teeth, and many other parts your body as well
The long-term issues of a speed addiction are too numerous to list, and can vary widely depending on what it has been mixed with. Breaking the addiction to speed can be quite difficult and usually needs professional help on an inpatient basis. Depending on how long a person has been addicted, many times they will be permanently afflicted with mental problems, joint problems, and dental problems that require long-term and expensive care.
As you can see, being addicted to speed is a horrible addiction. If you, or anyone you know has started taking speed, it's best to get them into a rehab program as soon as possible. There are thousands clinics all across the United States that can handle this kind of problem and a quick Internet search will locate one near you.
