Résumé : |
Methamphetamine is often used with other substances, such as cocaine or crack, heroin or alcohol, increasing the risk of injury or death related to overdoses, accidents or violence. Side effects can include irritability, heart palpitations, confusion, severe anxiety, paranoia, violence or psychosis. Long-term use may possibly cause structural changes to the brain, memory loss, difficulty completing complex tasks and permanent psychotic symptoms. For the first time, BC's integrated strategy provides a coordinated approach to prevent and reduce the use and supply of methamphetamine and other illicit drugs - and their harmful effects on youth and other high-risk groups.
BC's Methamphetamine Strategy identifies five priorities for action: 1. Informing the public; 2. Building safer communities; 3. Identifying high-risk populations; 4. Increasing the skills of service providers; and 5. Reducing harm to individuals. |
