Is Meth Addictive?
Yes, meth is extremely addictive. Any substance or action that causes a reward in the brain will release dopamine so, by increasing dopamine, meth reinforces its own use.
Meth is one of the most addictive illicit substances, so quitting can be incredibly difficult.
If you or someone you know uses methamphetamine, it’s likely that they are unable to quit on their own.
