Facts
Meth's effects on the brain can cause an odd and disturbing behavior called getting "hung up." An addict can have the same thought, or carry out the same action, for hours at a time. One person might get hung up cleaning a floor over and over again, another assembling and disassembling a small appliance several times, and still another singing the same song for hours. Generally, the effects of stimulants are the same no matter how the drugs are ingested. However, the method of use influences how quickly, and how strongly, cocaine and amphetamines affect the body. All are commonly sold as white powders, although meth may occasionally have an off-white or light brown tint. These powders have a strong, chemical odor. They can be swallowed alone or mixed with a beverage or food. Cocaine can also be rubbed on the gums or held under the tongue for absorption though the oral mucus membranes.
Despite growing concerns about its possible dangers, cocaine use in America grew through the early 1980s. In 1985, estimates by various government health agencies placed the number of people who had used it at least once at about 7 million. Of this number, about 5.5 million used it occasionally; about 600,000 were considered habitual users, defined by using it more than 51 times a year.
A pregnant woman who uses heroin should not attempt to suddenly stop taking the drug. This can put her baby at increased risk of death. She should consult a health care provider or drug treatment center about treatment with a drug called methadone. Although infants born to mothers taking methadone also have withdrawal symptoms, they can be safely treated in the nursery and generally do better than babies born to women who continue to use heroin.
For every person in drug treatment there are an estimated three or four people who need it. Many who attempt to get treatment, especially from public facilities, are discouraged by waits of over a month to get in. Evaluating the effectiveness of treatment is difficult because of the chronic nature of drug abuse and alcoholism and the fact that the disease is usually complicated by personal, social, and health factors.
