The Devil's Drug
I had never heard of methamphetamine referred to as the "Devil's Drug", until I saw what a crushing blow it could have on a local family, leaving young children and a loving wife in its wake.
It's hard for loved ones and even addicts to reach out for help but there are so many resources made available that I felt compelled to list some of them:
- The Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has a FACILITY LOCATOR FORM.
- Narcotics Anonymous has an NA Meeting Finder that finds the closest group to your location.
- Crystal Meth Anonymous- more of an on-line resource.
- Meth Addiction Recovery- is a very interactive website that was very impressive.
- Additional on-line information and research indicates an abundance of groups formed to fight meth addiction: Recovery Connection; Mother's Against Meth; Youth Against Meth; Just Think Twice; David Parnell:Facing the Dragon; Say No to Meth
- Prayer
What kind of sentence do you think one person could get for manufacturing meth first offense? Especially after completing drug rehab, parenting classes, works, and trying to get kids back from dss.
