So, you're concerned that a friend or loved one may be using crystal meth?

You've watched someone you care about use crystal?

Or you've witnessed the signs of meth use, from erratic behavior and paranoia, to financial chaos, weight loss, and general physical decline?

There are no easy answers, but there is hope-for the user and for you. Remember, you alone cannot make him or her stop using--that's a decision the user must make. But that doesn't mean you can't influence the decision to stop using through effective intervention. Here are a couple useful booklets in PDF form on Helping a Friend or Helping a Partner who is using meth... there's even a PDF you can print and leave for someone who needs the push to ask for help!

There are also organizations filled with people who can help you:

• Group Meeting Info
• The Lambda Center
• Whitman Walker Addiction Services
