1. RECOVERY
RADIO TO FEATURE METH MONTH DURING OCTOBER
 1.
Methamphetamine- "Speed"; "Crystal", Crank", "Meth"- These are
but a few pet names by which users refer to methamphetamine.
There is absolutely NO DOUBT that meth is by far the most
serious drug addiction in the nation today. The numbers of
addicts being treated in rehab facilities has increased over
FIVE TIMES since 1992, according the SAMSHA.
In respect of this most troubling trend in addiction here in
the United States today, The Recovery Radio Show has
proclaimed October to be METH MONTH. For the entire month our
weekly Saturday night live broadcasts (6P - 8P Pacific Time)
will be dedicated to the topic of methamphetamine. We will
discuss all facets of this terrible drug, and most
importantly, will present new ideas and time-tested solutions
for dealing with this scourge.
2. IS YOUR KID TRIPPING ON SPEED??
 Differentiating
"normal adolescence" from methamphetamine use by teens is an
extremely difficult dilemma for today's parents. Since time
memorial adolescence is characterized by efforts by the child to
"break away" from his or her parents and establish his/her own
identity. This process is often characterized by rebellious
behavior, isolation from parents, and "just being difficult".
Most parents are relieved when this stage of growing up is over.
Unfortunately, today's teens are exposed daily and repeatedly to
meth at school. Chronic meth use by teens results in behaviors
that in many ways may be seen as "accentuated adolescent"
behavior.
How does a
parent know their child is or is NOT on speed??

Oct. 15th
6-8P Pacific Time:
"METH: Hijacking our Schools, Sports, and our Moms and
Dads"
This Saturday,
October 15th, we will feature the topic of methamphetamine use
among our nation's teenagers. This is a HUGE national problem,
eclipsing all other public health issues affecting this age
group today. We will discuss how prevalent meth currently is
in our schools- appearing even on grade-school playgrounds!!
It is cheap, and is readily available on almost every corner.
Differentiating meth use from the "normal" turbulence of
adolescence adds to the problems parent have in sorting out
whether THEIR child is strung out on speed. Meth also is
rampant on the sports fields, highways, party rooms,
classrooms- basically everywhere kids collect.
What can a
parent do?

and CALL BOB and Dr Steve with your questions, comments, or
solutions that have worked for you. Our call-in number is 888-
