I have read that there is little hope. Even if they did stop they still have to deal with the lack of Love, Compassion, Excitement, and Pride that they lost b/c of their use. So really is there any hope at all to getting back the person you once knew?

a person can make a TOTAL recovery from meth addiction..but it's hard..get them in rehab!!! the person has to want to be clean, and really work hard to achieve it to have any hope..but I have worked with many patients who got clean from meth and built thier lives back up..there is ALWAYS hope

They need to go into long term re-hab. The addiction will always be there, but they will learn how to cope with it. They have to want to kick the habit for it to work.

Shoot them in the head. Put them out of their misery. No seriously though, they will likely never be the same. Meth is a HORRIBLE drug, and it's ruined a lot of people.

absolutely. I have been there so i know. People can change- but you can not help someone unless they want to be helped. Just let them know that you are there for them to help them get through this hard time and always will be.

It is very difficult, just show them a picture of themself from the past, when they actually looked healthy, and point out all the stuff they have let go in their life. You can lead a dog to water, but you can't make him drink. You have to have tough love and tell them you will have nothing to do with them until they decide to stop using, and stick to your words. They have to hit total rock bottom before they can bounce back, let them do it

Trying to help a person addicted to meth is very difficult. It is probably the most difficult drug other than heroin to kick. A person who wanted to stop using, would have to be the one to stop on their own and it is very very hard.It is possible for them to bounce back to who they used to be, but also would be a very long time before they did, and there is also that chance of them relapsing.Once a person quits, they have to completely change their life around, they have to get away from the people they get the stuff from, stop being friends with anyone who uses. So really all you can do is just be there for them and hope that they do stop using, because in the long run it will be better for them to stop.

I know, well knew, one person who fell into the meth trap and he is stuck. It's so sad. He's abandoned his gf and their 2 kids.He would talk crap about a mutual friend that became addicted to crack, and then ask if he could do a line in my bathroom. That pissed me off so bad. The one on crack would never bring it around us. It's like the dude thought meth was no big deal or something. I don't know. I don't understand how someone that has everything going for them, is an adult in their mid to late 20's, could decide to try something like that. Crack or meth. They both have ruined their lives and we had to stop associating with them because it just got too bad.

You didnt cuases thier addiction and you cant cure it. It is up to themselves to seek help.
