Meth addiction can be found all over, including in the town of El Centro.
Meth addiction Meth is short for methamphetamine and, although it is an extremely addictive and harmful drug, it nonetheless has been proven as a useful substance in some cases. For example, it is sometimes used successfully in the treatment of narcolepsy or ADHD, as well as people who are severely overweight (since it reduces appetite).
That is where the pros of meth end, however. It can cause teeth to decay, body temperature to rise to deadly levels, and sometimes seizures. It makes people prioritize getting more meth over everything else in their lives. It ruins lives.

El Centro is a lively place that may not seem like it has a problem, but underlying its friendly exterior is a subculture of drug addicts. Or, more specifically, meth addicts. Despite this, El Centro is a fascinating city for entirely innocent reasons. Besides the fact that it is highly multicultural (especially since it is right on the border between California and Mexico), it also harbors beautiful flora and fauna. It has the Salton Sea mud pots and mud volcanoes, for example, as well as the Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge.
Despite the power of meth and its hold on meth addicts, it is still something that a person can come back from. They cannot do it by themselves, however, especially if they are physically dependent. Addiction also involves a rewiring of the brain, where people who have the addiction are “told” by their brains to seek that same feeling of pleasure at any cost.
Checking into an inpatient treatment facility in El Centro can be a highly effective way to start treatment. That, coupled with medical treatment for the dependency and detox, therapy, and group support sessions can all do the trick.
