Drug Addiction Facts

  • A methamphetamine high lasts longer than a cocaine high yet costs about the same, which is why it is sometimes referred to as the "poor man's cocaine."
  • Snorting or oral ingesting meth produces euphoria but not an intense rush such as that which is experienced through smoking or injecting the drug.
  • Methadone is also used to detoxify heroin addicts, not just as a "maintenance option", although studies show that most heroin addicts who detox using Methadone or any other method will eventually return to heroin use.
