All You Need to Know about
Meth Addiction in Teens
◦ Some meth users also develop physiological symptoms. For instance,
if your teen incessantly scratches their skin and you have noticed
other signs of meth use, it is quite possible that your teen has meth
addiction. Excessive sweating is another issue usually faced by meth
addicts – it is the result of an increase in blood flow and body
temperature caused by meth use. With increased blood flow, the
addict will sweat more that evaporates and takes sebaceous oil out
of the skin. The process can result in dehydration that often makes
drug addicts feel as if they have bugs crawling under their skin.
Therefore, you will see meth addicts constantly scratching or picking
on their skin.
◦ Other than these, you will also notice some physical symptoms of
meth addiction. Sleeplessness, tremors, nausea, loss of appetite,
increased breathing rate, respiratory abnormalities, headache,
collapsed nasal cavity, uncontrollable jaw clenching, kidney
disorders, blood clots, and liver damage are some of the
complications associated with meth abuse. So, be sure to look for all
these signs and convince your teen to seek treatment for meth
addiction if what you suspect is true.
