Meth Inside Out: I. Human Impact
by UCLA & Eyes of the World Media Group
Meth Inside Out is a groundbreaking video-based treatment curriculum on methamphetamine addiction and recovery. The series is designed to equip meth users, their families, and the professionals who assist them with a solid understanding of the biological basis of addiction, effective tools for recovery, and, most important, hope for the future.
Meth: Human Impact provides an eye-opening introduction to meth's effect on individuals, families, and communities across the globe. This video explores the motivations for use, including the need to escape negative feelings, lose weight, enhance sex, and increase energy. It also reveals how many of these factors impact women disproportionately, resulting in specialized needs in recovery. Spotlighting the link between meth and violent crime, as well as the magnitude and consequences of use—including job and property loss, poverty, incarceration, and effects on children—this video offers realistic solutions for clinicians working with current and former users.
