How Can you get a Person to get off Crystal Meth???

I've known of a person personally who killed his own wife because he told her to hold his money and not give it to him when he asked so he wouldn't buy drugs. She didn't and she's gone. I grew up around many people that used and are still using today over 20 years. There is nothing you can do but save yourself and walk away. More than likely, you've been telling them to leave it alone and they know the consequences. It's up to them. Don't be a victim and get your heart broken watching them kill themselves. THEY HAVE TO WANT TO STOP! Then you can help them by offering them information on different treatment programs. But until they want help, there is nothing you can do.

The only way to come off of that is thru a doctor.  They have to slowly bring their body out of it.\n\nHeroin is very very addicive.  Your body will go into FITS and can kill you if not gotten off of correctly.

Methamphetamine, street name, Crystal Meth.  And now is converted into Ice, like Crack, just made from Meth, not Cocaine.\n\nThe high is intense, you don't eat, barely sleep, crave SEX and your brain is in high gear, your heart will race.\n\nThis is so addictive.  More addictive than heroin.  When it first hit the scene back in the late 80's I tried it. and craved it, and if my dealer wouldn't have got busted probably died from it.\n\nIt dehydrates your body, the lack of sleep makes you nuts, you can lose teeth and your hair and skin looks and feel awful.\n\nBecause it is made using lovely things like chemicals and petroleum products in addition to the speed used (like sudaephidrine) it is also inherently dangerous.  You never know when the backyard chemist that cooked it has screwed up until you are dead from it.\n\nI would never use it again, nasty nasty stuff.  Do yourself a favor and stay away from it, or be prepared for it to take over you life.

Allan, You need to get into a drug rehab program NOW. You are still so young and have your whole life in front of you. Stand up and get yourself going the right direction. You will get clean, have friends and be able to have a job and have money. If you continue to the meth., you will die, Allan, and the world will be a much sadder place without you. God doesn't make Junk, you know. He put you here for a reason....get back on track and get clean to find out what great things you can do in this world! Trust me on this one!!!! I KNOW I AM RIGHT! GET GOIN' NOW!!!Best of luck to you....and hey, you know what you just did?  You just made the first step to healing....you admitted you had a problem with Meth...that takes guts....You can do it...get checked in!

Yes I have. I am an ex-crystal meth addict, but I've also done E, LSD, cocaine, mushrooms, pot, and I think some other things too! (like I can remember!)\nIf you need help, trust me, you NEED to go somewhere else besides Yahoo! Answers!! Find a treatment facility in you area. Turn to you family and friends, not complete strangers. Good luck!!

Have you tried contacting a local clinic or rehab center for advice? Maybe attending a Narcotics Anonymous meeting?\n\nUnfortunately, I don't think you can force anyone to do anything they don't want to do. Your addicted loved one must want to quit themselves. Also, you should look at ways you may be enabling their addiction: lying to employers about their absences, being ok with them staying up all night, giving or lending money to pay bills. \n\nI was addicted and eventually became homeless. I called my parents asking for help, if I could live with them. It was the hardest thing for them to do, but they said no. I lived in a residential hotel for awhile and they paid my rent but gave me no more money. I had to eat at soup kitchens. Eventually I managed to find a job and work myself out of the situation, but it was very hard.\n\nNow I own my own home, own a car, have 4 cats, a pool, and a good job. No more meth for me.

well you being there helps, but if you can no longer take it you may just have to leave and he might straighten up. I had to attend NA after I was arrested for meth possession. When I started attending I was clean for 3 months already. So the program did not do anything extra for me. My biggest support group was my girlfriend. She always told me I could tell her anything but in past relationships this was always crap. So I was fearful to tell her that I was an addict. She has never used so it was easy to hide. I was damn lucky she was still there for me after I got popped. And she is still here for me 5 years later. Besides I am too damn small to go to prison.

Do the whole world a favor and turn this person in to the proper authorities. It isn't fair to the folks who are going to rehab to end up with a counselor who isn't honest about THEIR sobriety. There are those who take all that as a joke, but it isn't a joke to ones who are serious about getting their lives back under control! Let this person find another line of work (preferrably one that is legal) and stop the fronting.

The best thing you can do is take care of yourself. If you need to leave to be in a safe and legal environment then you need to leave. If your friend has to suffer through enough consequences of their using they will eventually see their problem. However, if you coddle them and try to protect them from the pain they are causing for you and themselves they will keep using longer. It has to hurt enough to be willing to motivate the change. Pain is the best motivator unfortunately.  The most lovingt thing you can do for them is allow them to hit a bottom and pray they don't hurt themselves on the way down. Let them know you love them and you want to help when they are ready. Then when they are ready. hook them up with a local rehab and 12 step program. I have included the website for NA (narcotics anonymous). They can help you find a rehab in your area and local meetings to check out. Good luck!

Tell them that it's not helping their body get liquid. Soda actually dehydrates the drinker, which is what made me stop drinking so frequently. \n\nA can of Coke can dissolve a nail in a week. o_o Can you imagine what it does to the body? \n\nAnd there are a lot of other options in beverages, even though it may not seem like it. Water, for one. It's the most abundant source on our planet, yet we seem to neglect it's most simple use. Drinking it. \n\nSports drinks hydrate the body. Fruit juice. (Not the ones with all the sugar and artificial stuff added.)Nearly ANYTHING is better than soda.
