CategoriesWe hear a lot about Tik, Metch, Crystal Methamphetamines - What is it?
Crystal Methamphetamines (Meth/Tik) is a stimulant drug chemically related to amphetamine but with stronger effects. Street names for the drug can include: Tik; Speed; Meth; Crystal and Crank. It is used in pill or powder form by snorting or injecting. Crystallized meth known as Ice, Crystal or Glass is a smoke-able and more powerful form of the drug. A methamphetamine-induced "high" artificially boosts self-confidence, many users are overcome by a so-called "superman syndrome." In this state, Tik abusers ignore their physical limitations and try to do things they are normally incapable of performing.
It is highly addictive and its negative effects include, but are not limited to, the following: Hyperactivity; irritability; visual hallucinations; auditory hallucinations (hearing "voices"); suicidal tendencies; aggression; suspiciousness; severe paranoia; shortness of breath; increased blood pressure; cardiac arrhythmia; stroke; sweating; nausea; vomiting; diarrhea; long periods of sleep ("crashing" for 24-48 hours or more); prolonged sluggishness; severe depression; weight loss; malnutrition; anorexia; itching (illusion that bugs are crawling on the skin); welts on the skin; involuntary body movements and paranoid delusions.

About us
Nick the founder, was fortunate to attend a highly recognised rehab clinic in 2000 for his own addictions. He completed the in-patient primary and secondary care treatment program and ârecoveryâ has given him the opportunity to work at a university counselling service; several voluntary organisations and complete his B.A. Hons (1st Class) and M.A. Counselling Degrees from Leeds University, England.
Thereafter, he became an addiction counsellor at several addiction rehab centres in Europe and South Africa. Travelling the world over the last ten years, he has also visited numerous rehabs across Asia and recognised that many treatment options are available. However, an addiction specialist is needed to give the individual guidance to access the most suitable treatment. Therefore, Go4Rehab was founded and with over twenty years of addiction experience and 10 years of professional guidance he and those at Go4Rehab will help you find cost-effective life-changing treatment.
Best wishes
