Crystal Meth Addict interview-Sara

[@mynamethreetimes]

I was on meth for 3 years. It completely destroyed me and my life. I was 23 when i started. Im 27 now and 10 months and 14 days clean. I am so proud of myself for getting cleaned up and improving my life.

[@74GenX]

That is so awesome. I'm 50 and I didn't get clean until 2 years ago. I injected meth. I thought that I was going to die in active addiction. Everyday I thank God for my amazing life and my amazing brain because I could have lost both. It makes my heart happy to know that you will have a couple decades clean by the time you reach my age. I'm very proud of you. Keep going kiddo!

There ain’t no help. 47.5 million American living with some kind of mental illness. That’s 1 in 5 people. Only 43% had any care. 14.1 million Americans living with a serious mental illness. That’s 1 in 20. Only 64% had any kind of care. There are only 35,000 beds for mental heath treatment provided for by the government in the the entire country. And that’s for actually treatment. Care can mean anything from seeing a psychiatrist once a month to getting prescriptions to even a 72 hour psyc hold, etc. none of it is actually treatment. Unless you’re rich and can pay cash to a good private mental health treatment center you’re pretty much screwed. Because the private treatment centers that take insurance, they try to keep costs low. They keep as little employees as possible, cut corners, they do whatever they can to maximize profits and there’s also very little oversight. The worse insurance you have the worse places you’ll go and it’s the people that need treatment the most are the ones who cannot keep a job at the kinds of companies that provides really good insurance. That’s why you hear about ‘Booty Juice’ (powerful sedative) so much, especially from mentally ill homeless. Because the types of private treatment centers they’re going to is are the places that just knock you out all day so they don’t have ti deal with you and so they don’t need a full staff. Those 35,000 spots in state run facilities are the really the only chance they got, but the numbers are like winning the lotto. The reason state run facilities are so much better is because there a lot of oversight and it’s not profit driven. They actually spend the money. It’s tax money so they spend.. They have full staffs, different departments. They actually take the time and do treatment, therapy, group therapy art therapy, they teach them coping mechanisms, like skills, they get them into a routine, etc.They spend the time with the patients and really try, but the sad thing is, with how little amount of beds the state has is it ends up the people that become eligible for those beds are usually the most worse off, and I mean the top couple of percent most serious cases, many of them cannot be helped. When Reagan slashed the fund for state run facilities, and that was one of his biggest slashes, America just stared dumping its mentally ill in prisons and the budget for treatment has only been slashed more and more since. No place makes mental illness worse than prison. Putting mentally ill people in prison should be outlawed, it’s cruel. And many of them can be helped if judges were able to send them to a state run mental heath treatment facilities during their first few arrests, but there’s not enough beds and so they go to state prisons and they end up doing their time in solitary, which can drive a sane man crazy, and they come out more violent and more mentally ill each time. That’s why when you hear about these crimes that shock the nation, you can always see the building up in their rap sheet. Each arrest the crimes are getting worse and worse. Those are all missed opportunities to help them. But apparently half the country thinks government providing services to The People is ‘communism’ and so it gives the politicians permission to slash and slash these budgets. It’s weird cuz I don’t know who the hell they think provides the prisons. But that’s the long and short of it. There’s no help. America has screwed itself.

My ex wife is a meth addict who has stage 4 cancer. She has been a meth addict for about 8 years now. In 2021 she left us for some kid she met at rehab. Ever since she has not seen nor talk to her son, or even paid a cent of the court ordered child support. Between the lying and cheating, she’s the reason I am highly judgmental towards addicts. Me, I got a career in IT and just graduated from college last month. Life has been progressing since she left us.

[@SpudGirl]

Congratulations on your education and props to you for being a stable loving father. I never dealt with many addicts, but people I care about have and they all left a path of destruction and trauma everywhere they went. It's difficult to empathize with most of them. Some I can sympathize.

As a co-host of an addiction medicine podcast, I find your content informative, well produced and sometimes challenging to watch. We've considered featuring patients on our podcast, but the ethical dilemma of informed consent always arises. It's not a criticism of your content, but rather an observation - some subjects appear to be in distress or possibly under the influence, which raises concerns about their ability to give truly informed consent. This is a complex issue in the portrayal of addiction and recovery.

[@s_hailyy2334]

Therapist here and I also wondered about informed consent….

[@johnscott6481]
