Maryland is one of the states that has a rising methamphetamine and crystal meth problem that shows no signs of subsiding soon. This problem is sapping the young generation of the state and each year there are more youth seeking admissions in the centers for meth rehab in Maryland than the previous year.

The state has woken up to the problem already and is waging a very meaningful war to vanquish methamphetamine and crystal meth addiction that exists in it.Most people think that methamphetamine and crystal meth is the same thing, though there is a difference. Methamphetamine is the name of the chemically obtained form of the chemical while crystal meth is obtained after further refining methamphetamine. Since it is obtained in the form of white crystals, it is also known as ice.

The biggest problem about methamphetamine and crystal meth addiction in Maryland is that there are several clandestinely operating chemical laboratories in the state that are producing this drug to a small but significant extent. Better equipped labs can produce as many as ten pounds of the drug in a day. This is indeed an alarming situation. In addition, there is a lot of methamphetamine that is coming in from the neighboring states too.

And where is all these methamphetamine supplied? Mostly it is supplied to the nightclubs and rave parties of Maryland, where the major clientele is the youth. That is the reason why youth are getting more addicted to this drug than adults. They also show more drastic health effects and stronger addictions for methamphetamine and crystal meth than adults.

It is no wonder that Maryland is spending a lot of resources to remove this scourge from the state as soon as possible.
