We're still treating people, human beings, who are suffering from substance use disorders and, like any drug of choice, it ends up leading people to a life of alienation, isolation, disconnection from themselves, from others, from their higher power.
Methamphetamine, often known by names like crystal meth, speed, or ice, is a cheap yet highly addictive drug that wreaks havoc on lives. In this episode of 'Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery', host William C. Moyers sits down with addiction expert Christopher Yadron, PhD, to unpack the harrowing effects of methamphetamine addiction. They dive into the health risks, from physical deterioration to severe mood swings, and discuss how this drug can deeply affect one's sexuality and relationships.
Yadron also sheds light on the troubling rise of meth use in the LGBT community and among younger individuals, sharing startling statistics that highlight the urgency of the issue. But it’s not all doom and gloom—Yadron offers hope by outlining effective treatment options available at the Betty Ford Center. If you're looking for a candid conversation about methamphetamine addiction and recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
It's an eye-opener for anyone touched by addiction or those wanting to understand the complexities of this powerful drug.
