How would you say meth is different from another other drug especially when it comes to teenagers? – Meth is different than another drug like cannabis or nicotine because it takes a different path to addiction. It is not something that you intend to do necessarily and is really hard to come down from. Not that any drug is recommended.
Why is it so popular? – Some people do it for fun, others escalate to doing it. It is cheaper to produce and buy. Generally it is believed to be a great escape when life is hard or when you are trying to rebel. It sneaks up on you. Also it has a fast absorption rate so you feel the effects quickly.
When working with people with addiction what’s your goal?– To help them find new coping skills, resolve past issues, and find a new spark for the future without their drug of choice.
