TROIS-RIVIERES, Quebec, Canada, June 18 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- According to Narconon Trois-Rivieres, crystal methamphetamine (more commonly referred to as crystal meth) is a drug known to cause severe addiction problems. The side effects associated with crystal meth consumption are blatantly devastating: the shakiness, the paranoia, the agitation and insomnia lasting for days all weigh heavily on the drug user. Meth is still a drug of choice for many since it is easily available to anyone and cheaper than numerous other drugs.

Health officials nationwide express growing concern over whether crystal meth addicts may ever be capable of breaking free of this life-damaging habit. Effective and successful drug treatments are scarce, and too many times they are incapable of meeting the demand. According to addiction counselors, the relapse rate for crystal meth abusers who entered traditional drug rehabilitation treatment in 2006 is drastically worse than cocaine at 92-percent.

Will Opitz, a former crystal meth addict of 3 years, had lost all threads of rational thoughts and yielded his self-control to his cravings: "Four days later [after taking crystal meth] I was still partying. This was at the beginning of December 1999. By the end of December I had lost 50 pounds because I ate maybe once or twice that whole month."

In this interview, Will explains how his life was radically changed by Narconon, a 100-percent drug-free drug rehabilitation center, after all the hardships and crushing failures he had faced: "...If it wasn't for the staff here, seeing the good and the potential in me, I'd probably be dead right now...."

Eager to share his accomplishment of kicking crystal meth, Will tells his story in a video entitled "Dying Addict Finds Crystal Meth Treatment." The success of this video has been beyond expectations with over 118,000 views on the broadcasting site YouTube.

The effectiveness of the Narconon(R) drug rehabilitation program is reflected on a worldwide scale, with over 100 centers around the world. Its unique 100-percent natural and drug-free methods have helped thousands of individuals to overcome their drug addiction and live a drug-free life. If someone you know and care for is afflicted with an addiction, do not hesitate to contact Narconon.
