Methamphetamine, made easily in clandestine labs from over-the-counter ingredients, can cause depression, rapid tooth decay, psychosis, sensations of flesh crawling with bugs, paranoia, skin lesions, and kidney damage. Still, use has spread nationwide. In this work, two experts on methamphetamine addiction and recovery explain why this drug has such a physical, psychological, and social draw for addicts, despite all the damage it causes. Vignettes from addicts take us inside the subculture of meth users. Authors Taylor and Covey explain why this drug and its addiction is different from other illicit drugs and why, therefore, the treatment needs to be specifically tailored in order to be effective. Stephan Jenkins, singer for the band Third Eye Blind, says methamphetamine makes you feel bright and shiny, but it also makes you pathetically and relentlessly self-destructive, so much so that you will do unconscionable things to feel bright and shiny again. This drug, made easily in clandestine labs from over-the-counter ingredients, can also cause depression, rapid tooth decay, psychosis, sensations of flesh crawling with bugs, paranoia, skin lesions, and kidney damage. Still, use has spread nationwide from California to Maine, with known addictions now highest in the West, Midwest, and South. Treatment admissions for methamphetamine addictions have increased more than fivefold in the last decade, with a federal report in 2006 showing 136,000 known cases. Meth is particularly addictive to women because it causes rapid weight loss. The results, as shown in recent cover stories in Newsweek, National Geographic, and USA Today, are pain for far more than the abuser. Meth addiction also ravages life for spouses, children, and other family members, as well as communities. In this work, two experts on methamphetamine addiction and recovery explain why this drug has such a physical, psychological, and social draw for addicts despite all the damage it causes. Vignettes from addicts let us see inside the subculture of meth users. Authors Taylor and Covey explain why this drug and its addiction is different from other illicit drugs, and therefore why the treatment needs to be specifically tailored in order to be effective. This book, focused only on the addiction avenues and paths to recovery, is a perfect companion to Covey's earlier book, The Metehamphetamine Crisis (Praeger, 2006), which details the emergence and history of this drug use in the United States, as well as the social and community effects, and criminal justice approaches, successes, and failures to date. This book at hand will appeal to meth abusers, their families, and professionals trying to aid recovery from this new scourge, including substance abuse treatment providers, health professionals, psychologists, school personnel, and criminal justice staff.

In Overcoming Crystal Methamphetamine Addiction, one of the few books to address the topic for a general audience, Dr. Steven Lee, MD, a psychiatrist who specializes in crystal meth addiction, offers a complete guide to the drug, its effects, and how to overcome it. Based on extensive scientific and social research and drawing from his professional experience, he covers everything from the definition and history of crystal meth to the physical and psychological effects; from dealing with the addictive personality to helping a friend or family member cope with it. He focuses on understanding rather than outright condemnation of the drug, and empathetically covers all of the crucial questions: What is crystal meth? How is it made? How does it affect the body? How do you know if you're addicted to it? How do you stop using it? What if you don't want to stop? If you are going to use CM anyway, how can you minimize the damage? What if you quit but slipped and used again?

Crystal meth is reported to be one of the most abused substances in the world. And although it isn't always easy to tell who is addicted to meth at first glance, given the statistics, it is very likely that you know someone who is. Crystal meth users are actually able to go about seemingly normal lives: They can maintain successful careers, or get decent enough grades to stay in school - at least until they get too deep into the addiction and it becomes too late. Now, if you are certain that you someone you love is abusing crystal meth, you may already realize that it's not going to be an easy journey to get them to overcome their addiction. This book is going to help you understand what your loved one is going through, and how to properly support them and help them get over the addiction. I will explain how to confirm whether or not someone is addicted to meth, and then what to do and - just as important - what not to do when talking to and relating to a user. You'll also learn when and how to get outside help, and exactly how to help a recovering addict avoid situations that could lead him back to the habit. Helping a loved one overcome an addiction is not an easy task, but it is a necessary one, and it all starts with knowing what to do.

"There are precious few things in this life of which I am certain. One is the love I have for my son, Andy... The other thing of which I am certain is this: no one wants to be an addict." - from the book. Here's what readers have to say: "Kim's writing style is clear, lucid, revealing, and on a par with the best of skilled non-fiction authors - Thor Heyerdahl, Thomas Thompson, even James Michener or my favorite, Jan de Hartog, and she is able to make the reader relive her addictions - all of them - to the point that I HAD to put the book down several times and "de-tox" myself, or at least breathe normally, before I could return to it. I've never felt so much inside the skin of someone who is going through the horror of addiction as when reading this biography." "Kim has cleansed her soul by once again facing the demons of her past, and I can only imagine how much strength it took for her to reopen her wounds and recount them one by one." "Crystal Clean is a book I couldn't put down about an amazing woman who was once completely immersed in the world of crystal meth. If you didn't know that she made it through the other side (because she is telling her own story), you might not believe she will come out of it alive. Kim lays out her life story, with memories that help show her state of mind as she started using different drugs and then meth. But it's not a "woe is me" story, and she doesn't dwell on the bad things that contributed to her mental state. It is ultimately a story about how a mother's love can overcome the terrible odds associated with this addiction." "This is a well-written, entertaining book. The author's style is light even when when the subject is not. It would have been easy to simply write about the misery that must come with Meth addiction. Instead, the author gives insight into her background and motivations. You can't help but root for the author as she describes her descent into drug addiction "hell," even though she is responsible for all her choices." "Being a mom of a special needs son (only child) and struggling to be everything to that child, while barely hanging on yourself is such a familiar story to me." "While reading this book, it hit home so much I had to stop reading it for moments at a time. So real and writing was so descriptive, I had to separate her feelings from my own in some regard. Thank you for opening up to your readers and trusting us with your story. I picture you kind of like a female "Rocky" winning in the end. Can't help but root for you and Andy!" "What an insightful and bravely written book. What Kim has shared is an amazingly helpful understanding to anyone who has been touched by the outreaching fingers of meth addiction and mental illness. And to those who haven't, a good reminder that not everyone or everything is as it may seem." "A beautiful memoir about one mom's struggle with her lot in life and how she chose to deal with it using illegal drugs. It's told in a brave, clear manner with no careful wording. I loved reading more about Andy and was absolutely rooting for Wollenburg through it all." "At first, you don't understand Kim. Then you love her." "Kim illustrates with graphic detail and genuine emotion the pain of addiction as well as the sometimes circuitous path to recovery. This book is extremely well written. I wish I lived next door to this courageous mother, daughter, and woman of worth." "CRYSTAL CLEAN: A mother's struggle with meth addiction and recovery is an honest and transparent look at the world of meth addiction and recovery. As a reader, I was swallowed up into this world of addiction, pain, anger, and fear. Many times I wanted out -- I wanted to skip to the end of the book and be assured that this young woman was going to be okay. I applaud the author for her obvious courage in sharing her story and exposing her pain and allowing herself to be so vulnerable. The author's writing is superb -- strong imagery and an authenti

This program is PATENT-PENDING and when the patent clears, it will be the first and only drug treatment program ever patented in the United States for meth and cocaine addiction. It will be the ONLY DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM ever available in book form, making this completely anonymous treatment in the privacy of your own home. This book is the answer. Please read the back cover for true testimonies that were unsolicited and believe that there were hundreds more that came to the websites that sold the original program. Never a single email received saying that the program was unsuccessful or had any flaws, just positive reviews saying "thank-you" for the help. This program is new, this is current, and this will work for anyone who reads and follows the entire book. The track record is solid and valid and being tested further always, so please read on.How to Quit Meth Now! Is a self-help guide to kicking any Cocaine or Methamphetamine addiction. It's an algorithm style drug treatment program that guarantees anyone who reads through the entire book and follows all of the instructions inside WILL BE DRUG FREE by the time they close the back cover and will have all of the tools to stay drug free for the rest of their life. Quit Meth Now! is the culmination of a 14 year study through trial and error that is the cure for drug addiction and takes the addict who is CURRENTLY USING meth or cocaine and teaches them how to first, let go and walk away, then teaches them how to self-detox with a 14 day program. The self-detox method uses several over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, vitamins, herbs and other products that reduce the withdrawal symptoms associated with drug addiction and treatment. During the process it teaches the addict several mind techniques that will help to counter all of the triggers that usually chase the addict back into relapse. Quit meth Now! is a cure and a final step that does not allow for relapse and ends the problem of addiction with simple mind games once the 14 day self-detox is complete. This is a full-service plan that attacks all of the spheres of influence that have been keeping the addict addicted for so long. Quit Meth Now! is the long awaited cure for addiction that will take the user on a long journey through all aspects of addiction and answer the questions of how, when and why they became addicted while also teaching them how to fix the problem permanently so that they can live a drug free lifestyle for the rest of their lives. This is the cure and this is the solution. This is a tried and true program in every sense and the QuitMeth program has a 100% effective rate over the internet for the past 10 years, as we did our research to make sure that this book was the final step that cures addiction, once and for all. We have been hiding from the world to create this program and this book is written in a style that speaks directly to the reader and teaches the truth through philosophical belief that the cure is within you because the power to cure a drug addiction is you. This is not a faith-based program in that it speaks directly to the addict in real terms and doesn't pass-the-buck by asking the reader to trust a higher power. Religion is always on one's own terms and has nothing to do with drug addiction. If you or anyone you know wants to kick a drug addiction right now, once and for all, you NEED this book. This program is also designed in a way that will supply an addict who is not interested in quitting with enough subliminal information on how to quit, that they will most likely decide to quit anyway within 6 months to a year, if they read all of the material. This book digs deep into the mind and takes away the ability of an addict to say that they're addicted because there is no way to quit...Drug addiction is NOT a disease my friends...and time is relevant. Peace!

Clea Myers, a young English woman, comes to America to live the dream but experiences the nightmare. She goes from an Ivy League College to Los Angeles Women's Penitentiary in 3 years, emaciated and addicted to crystal meth. How could things go so wrong and in such a short space of time? Myers shares her descent into the hell of crystal methamphetamine dependence. Her story is of An English girl from a privileged background whose addiction journey brings her from an Ivy League College to Los Angeles Women's Penitentiary in only three years, emaciated and addicted to crystal meth. Myers' description of her rapid demise is a sometimes uncomfortable read, as she holds nothing back. The lights of Hollywood twinkled briefly but, once introduced to crystal meth, she became addicted. 'Dumpster diving 'became a regular pastime: grovelling in large rubbish containers, 'diving' for articles of value or fascination to her hugely disturbed mind. She was reduced to an animal existence, surrounded by dangerous and sometimes violent people. Arrested and jailed, she hit rock bottom and was offered a chance to leave LA immediately or stay in the drug offenders Programme. Helped by a family member, she returned to England still unable to stop completely. Finally, she did get help and discover a recovery path which combined her buddhist faith and reassures her relationship with the 12-step programme. Crystal meth in England has been reported only on the gay club scene. Part of the reason Myers wrote this book is to warn young people of its dangers. This book could be well used as part of a schools drug education programme.' Review from ADDICTION TODAY Magazine
