While most people have heard of meth, or its most popular form crystal meth, most people don’t know the toll that it can take on the user.  Meth is one of the most addictive narcotics on the market today, and while meth use in Utah looks like it might be in decline, it’s still a serious problem.

Unlike many other narcotics which are derived from plants, meth can be made from a variety of household chemicals. Meth can be taken by swallowing, snorting, smoking, or by using a hypodermic needle.

How can you tell if someone you know is using meth?  As a meth rehab center in Utah, here are some typical warning signs that we see:

  • Anxiousness
  • Nervousness
  • Incessant talking
  • Extreme moodiness and irritability
  • Repetitious behavior
  • Sleep disturbances
  • False sense of confidence and power
  • Aggressive or violent behavior
  • Disinterest in previously enjoyed activities
  • Severe depression

And if you’re someone who thinks that meth won’t affect them, just take a look at some of these before and after meth police mug shots:
