Methamphetamine use isn't just a problem in one corner of the world; it's a global issue that affects millions. This episode of the 'Recovery Partner Network' podcast takes a hard look at the widespread consumption of methamphetamine. Did you know that in 2009, over one million Americans admitted to using meth at least once in the previous year? And it's not just adults – more than two percent of American high school students have tried meth before graduation.
The episode doesn't stop at U.S. borders, though. The United Nations reports that 14 million people worldwide use amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS), with a significant number living in East and Southeast Asia. This episode offers a sobering look at the reach of methamphetamine, highlighting both national and international statistics that paint a clear picture of its impact.
Whether you're concerned about a loved one or simply want to understand more about this pervasive drug, this episode provides valuable insights and real-world data.
