Meth Rehab?

[steppysteph]

I have watched a TV show, I think in Grey's Anatomy about crystal meth addiction and the withdrawal symptoms look very painful and dangerous. I think the withdrawal can cause the person's heart to stop and eventually die. Maybe the success rate of rehabilitation of crystal meth addicts is low because of this.

I have heard that meth is extremely dangerous to withdraw from. I also have to agree with Molly that I too have heard that something bigger than one's self and the commitment to that, helps. But I assume that would be after a medically supervised withdraw.

Since crystal meth is made from so many different poisonous chemicals, I would guess it's going to take some time for doctors to have any kind of successful treatment modalities. I wonder about those who huff glue and aerosol cans; I've never heard of any kind of specialized treatment for them either.

I don't usually hear many cases of people getting seriously hooked on those either, though. Well, at least not in the same way that people get hooked on meth.
