Paper Introduction:
ABSTRACT:
This research will present an overview of the nature of addiction with specific physiological reference for the drug crystal methamphetamine, otherwise known as Speed, Methamphetamine or Crystal Meth. Present rehabilitation and treatment options will be reviewed, evaluated and then suggestions for future options will be presented with a brief discussing their benefits over past treatment options.
HISTORY:
Methamphetamine is one of the United States’ most commonly abused substances. Pacific Rim countries particularly Korea, Taiwan and Japan have also succumbed to major abuse of the drug. Epidemics of methamphetamine abuse in the United States began in the 1950s and were experienced through the 1960s and 1970s.
