Spotting the signs of a methamphetamine addict

According to Tom Claunch, who runs a private rehab clinic, violent behaviour is a common symptom of using the drug. "There seems to be some sort of strange attachment to dungeons and dragons and ninja stuff and swords and knives, he says. "That's part of the violent side."

However he says the everyday symptoms in a user are not always obvious, unless you know what you are looking for. The signs include trouble sleeping, loss of appetite and weight, flightiness of thought, paranoia as well as obsessive compulsive behaviour.

In the later stages the physical signs become apparent. Rotting teeth can set in along with a condition called electric fleas. "They actually think it's little bugs or something crawling under their skin and they start to pick at them," Mr Claunch says.

Mr Claunch says petty theft such as stealing from mum or dad, or neighbours can also indicate a drug problem.
