Ice, a newer and purer form of methamphetamine, has become a new and increasing substance abuse threat. This new, extremely pure form of methamphetamine gives users an intense, immediate high within just six seconds of ingestion and the high can last up to 12 hours.

This two-part video presents the latest information on the devastating consequences of meth addiction and the struggles and rewards of recovery. Facts, medical aspects, personal stories, and insights into the recovery process illuminate the path to healing.

Part 1 (20 minutes in length) explains the pharmacology of methamphetamine's effect on brain and body chemistry. Gripping first-hand accounts from recovering addicts reveal how meth affects our thoughts, feelings, reasoning, relationships, and bodies.

Part 2 (18 minutes) offers hope for those addicted to methamphetamine. Through the candid experiences of recovering addicts, we see the common stumbling blocks in early recovery, the spiritual nature of the healing process, and the rewards of overcoming the physical, mental, and moral bankruptcy associated with abusing meth.
