How extensive is the physical damage caused by meth abuse without meth treatment?
Even though the Faces of Meth show only the ‘faces’, the internal damage done to the body from meth abuse is extensive as well. The effects can include rapid heart rate, irregular heartbeat, increased blood pressure, and stroke. The small bloods vessels in the brain can be damaged and the heart lining can become inflamed. Some of the abscesses you see on a meth user’s face and body are actually caused by this blood vessel damage. Some of the effects can be irreversible, so it’s important to get treatment in a meth rehab program as soon as possible. Meth abuse can damage the mouth permanently.
