Introduction:Youth are the backbone of any country; they are the asset for development and the progress for coming generation. Nowadays there are many efforts to destruct youth whatever through internet, new technology games or through drugs. In the last few years Arab countries face a serious attack through drugs. Kuwait is one of these countries which face such challenges; there are many efforts to attack Kuwaiti with many kinds of drugs. Nowadays there are new type of drug appears between Kuwait names Shabu () or with English Shabu. This paper will discuss what is Shabu, what does methamphetamine look like, what is meth made from, who uses shabu, the deadly effects of meth and the best way to treat from Shabu.WHAT IS SHABU?Shabu or (Crystal Meth) is short for amphetamine. It is just one form of the drug methamphetamine. Methamphetamine is a white crystalline drug that people take by snorting it (inhaling through the nose), smoking it or injecting it with a needle. Some even take it orally, but all develop a strong desire to continue using it because the drug creates a false sense of happiness and well-beinga rush (strong feeling) of confidence, hyperactiveness and energy. One also experiences decreased appetite. These drug effects generally last from six to eight hours, but can last up to twenty-four hours. The statistics showed that 60 percent of the repentant for drug addiction in Kuwait, returning again to abuse because of the law, which deprives them of the integration of society again, but five years after being rehabilitated come out repents from prison do not find a job or fill or social status, a Mijolh plunge as he often does even death or commit a crime.Also, the amendments to the current law has gone unheeded by the Council of Ministers in contrast to most of the Gulf states, which amended the restitution awarded on the basis of the addict a new opportunity for a better life law.The spread of this epidemic is widely and scary, is a matter of concern, and manufacturers and promoters of drug death, know very well the nature and the strength and effectiveness of this drug in bringing about addiction him immediately taking the first dose, do not need to be a repeat of dealing intermittently even love in the poll, as is common among young boys and teenagers, and then the circulation and promotion of fully guaranteed market, the new Valmtaati find himself compelled to get a second dose of whatever it cost him the trouble and problems and losses and concessions.The first experience might involve some pleasure, but from the start, methamphetamine begins to destroy the users life.

WHAT IS METHAMPHETAMINE?Methamphetamine is an illegal drug in the same class as cocaine and other powerful street drugs. It has many nicknamesmeth, crank, chalkorspeedbeing the most common. Shabu is used by individuals of all ages, but is most commonly used as a club drug, taken while partying in night clubs or at rave parties. Its most common street names areiceorglass.It is a dangerous and potent chemical and, as with all drugs, a poison that first acts as a stimulant but then begins to systematically destroy the body. Thus it is associated with serious health conditions, including memory loss, aggression, psychotic behavior and potential heart and brain damage. Highly addictive, meth burns up the bodys resources, creating a devastating dependence that can only be relieved by taking more of the drug. Shabus effect is highly concentrated, and many users report getting hooked (addicted) from the first time they use it. Consequently, it is one of the hardest drug addictions to treat and many die in its grip.WHAT DOES METHAMPHETAMINE LOOK LIKE?Methamphetamine usually comesin the form of a crystalline white powder that is odorless, bitter-tasting and dissolves easily in water or alcohol. Other colors of powder have been observed, including brown, yellow-gray, orange and even pink. It can also be compressed into pill form. As covered earlier, it can be snorted, smoked or injected. Shabu comes in clear chunky crystals resembling ice and is most commonly smoked.WHAT IS METH MADE FROM?Methamphetamine is a synthetic (man-made) chemical, unlike cocaine, for instance, which comes from a plant. Meth is commonly manufactured in illegal, hidden laboratories, mixing various forms of amphetamine (another stimulant drug) or derivatives with other chemicals to boost its potency. Common pills for cold remedies are often used as the basis for the production of the drug. The meth cook extracts ingredients from those pills and to increase its strength combines the substance with chemicals such as battery acid, drain cleaner, lantern fuel and antifreeze.These dangerous chemicals are potentially explosive and because the meth cooks are drug users themselves and disoriented, they are often severely burned and disfigured or killed when their preparations explode. Such accidents endanger others in nearby homes or buildings. The illegal laboratories create a lot of toxic waste as wellthe production of one pound of methamphetamine produces five pounds of waste. People exposed to this waste material can become poisoned and sick.Who uses Shabu?Shabu tends to be used by young adults who frequent dance clubs and parties. Some people, particularly females, may take Shabu because it can bring about rapid weight loss, even though its effects tend to be short-term; the moment you stop, most of the weight will usually come back on. Also, the body gradually becomes more tolerant to meth, so the weight loss effect becomes less.Some people prefer Shabu to other illicit drugs because the sense of euphoria it gives lasts up to 12 hours (depending on how it is taken), a much longer effect than, say cocaine. There are cases of people withdepressionwho take methamphetamine for its uplifting effect. Others, may be attracted by the increased libido and sexual pleasure often associated with this drug. Health authorities worldwide really don't know exactly how many people take Shabu, simply because it is illegal, so collecting reliable data is challenging. A Michigan University Study (Monitoring the Future Survey), estimated that almost 5% of high school seniors in the USA had tried Shabu at least once, while 3% had done so during the previous 12 months.

THE DEADLY EFFECTS OF METHThe short-term and long-term impact of the individualWhen taken, meth and Shabu create a false sense of well-being and energy, and so a person will tend to push his body faster and further than it is meant to go. Thus, drug users can experience a severe crash or physical and mental breakdown after the effects of the drugs wear off. Because continued use of the drug decreases natural feelings of hunger, users can experience extreme weight loss. Negative effects can also include disturbed sleep patterns, hyperactivity, nausea, delusions of power, increased aggressiveness and irritability. Other serious effects can include insomnia, confusion, hallucinations, anxiety and paranoia.1In some cases, use can cause convulsions that lead todeath.Long-range damageIn the long term, meth use can cause irreversible harm: increased heart rate and blood pressure; damaged blood vessels in the brain that can cause strokes or an irregular heartbeat that can, in turn, cause cardiovascularcollapse or death; and liver, kidney and lung damage. Users may suffer brain damage, including memory loss and an increasing inability to grasp abstract thoughts. Those who recover are usually subject to memory gaps and extreme mood swings.METH HARMSHORT-TERM EFFECTS Loss of appetite Increased heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature Dilation of pupils Disturbed sleep patterns Nausea Bizarre, erratic, sometimes violent behavior Hallucinations, hyperexcitability, irritability Panic and psychosis Convulsions, seizures and death from high dosesLONG-TERM EFFECTS Permanent damage to blood vessels of heart and brain, high blood pressure leading to heart attacks, strokes and death Liver, kidney and lung damage Destruction of tissues in nose if sniffed Respiratory (breathing) problems if smoked Infectious diseases and abscesses if injected Malnutrition, weight loss Severe tooth decay Disorientation, apathy, confused exhaustion Strong psychological dependence Psychosis Depression Damage to the brain similar to Alzheimers disease,3stroke and epilepsyWhy is Shabu so addictive?Shabu makes the user feel great, initially, and for up to 12 hours. It has a powerful physical and mental quality that causes the developing addict to rely on it more and more to feel great. However, as time passes, after several uses, the same dose does not have the same effect it did in the beginning. More is needed for the same effect, and abuser, often unwittingly, finds himself/herself sliding down a slippery slope of diminishing returns. Gradually, areas of life, such as personal hygiene, work, family and other responsibilities become less important than obtaining that high that makes the person feel good. Higher doses have a profound effect on the brain, and the user cannot get that initial rush - the brain's ability to produce those chemical compounds that produce feelings of euphoria are weakened.The abuser continues trying to find that feeling of pleasure and happiness which his/her brain can no longer provide. This leads to a vicious circle, in which eventually, all the Shabu achieves is a break from withdrawal symptoms. The desire for that pleasure rush turns into a craving for some kind of stability, an addiction with progressively smaller results. The Shabu addict never started taking the drug knowing that it would eventually make them abandon their responsibilities. In some cases, somebody may have an emotional pain or anguish; they take Shabu for the first time, and feel great. They may feel that the drug helps them solve their issues in life. Shabu is seen as a wonder drug that helps them cope and function. That perception drives the individual to use it again, and again, but little by little, meth's effects are less and less..etc.Crystal meth (Shabu) withdrawal symptomsWithdrawal symptoms form Shabu can last for days, and weeks, and even longer - the longer a person has been an addict, the longer the withdrawal symptoms will linger. Drugs can change the chemistry of the user's brain, all addictive drugs do, and Shabu does it more than any other. Although the drug is out of the person's system within two to three days, this does not mean the addiction or withdrawal symptoms are over. Withdrawal symptoms tend to be psychological in nature.

A person withdrawing from Shabu may have the following symptoms: Agitation Anhedonia - absence of pleasure, or inability to experience pleasure Anxiety Fatigue Hunger - most addicts put on weight when they give up Shabu Insomnia Moodiness Strong cravings for the drugSome people may prefer to enter a drug addiction treatment program if the withdrawal symptoms are severe. Drug rehab programs may help them through the withdrawal process, as well as guiding them towards a drug-free life once the symptoms have gone. Drug rehab may involve talk therapy, exercise, nutritional guidance, and possiblyvitamin supplements. Even though the physical symptoms linked to withdrawal go away within a few days, the Shabu addict has bouts of emotional turmoil, as well as strong cravings for much longer.Shabu Addiction Treatment: Rehab, Aftercare and Long Term RecoveryThe process of treating meth addiction is similar to other serious drugs, such as cocaine, heroin or alcohol. A patient will generally start with a course of detoxification to flush any traces of meth from the body over the course of a few days. The damage the drug has done to the body can take much longer, however, depending on addiction severity. After detox, a course of inpatient or intensive outpatient rehab should follow. With a higher than average possibility of relapse, residential Shabu treatment is often recommended for Shabu abuse over outpatient services to ensure treatment is highly regimented and properly administered. 60 to 90 days of long term therapy is typically recommended. After finishing rehab, a patient will want to build their relapse prevention skills, which is why 12-step aftercare programs should be considered by recovering addicts. Recovery is a life-long process but one that can be achieved with the proper help, support system and determination.

Achieve the emotional stability of a drug addict in order to facilitate the rehabilitation and social reintegration. Achieve an overall reduction in the use of drugs and illicit activities.1: - Treatment measures: These usually include the following: Counter the effects of overdose. Emergencies associated with rupture addictive drug intake. Mental emergency medical cases arising from the use of drugs. Remove poisoning addicted individuals on the use of certain drugs. Anti abuse of drugs and medicines which spoil the effect of opiate abuse and make it not pointless. Help addicts achieve existence free from drugs on the basis of the treatment on an outpatient basis.2:- means of rehabilitation and social reintegrationWhile these measures differ from country to country, the following measures are the most common in the application: Programs to raise the level of educational qualifications and skills of the AC to the clinic so that it can either qualify for the subsequent education or vocational training. Vocational training. Media projects in the community of drug addicts. Run homes and intermediate stay to help the wavering gradually move from the vicinity of therapeutic institutions to independent living.Guidelines for treatment planningIt is important before starting treatment programs to keep in mind some of the issues that affect the design and implementation, and can lead to the identification of these factors is less expensive and more effective programs to make the best use of the workforce and existing facilities in the community.The immediate goal of treatmentThe immediate goal of treatment in reducing the medical and psychological complications associated with the use of illicit drugs.Factors that affect the outcome of treatment: Perseverance that efforts are needed to stimulate drug-dependent at the start of treatment as it may require the patient's family is also stimulated in order to influence him to initiate or continue the treatment. Some believe that the detoxification of drugs sufficient to heal, but patients need to be stimulated to specification and rehabilitation therapy. And the form of treatment that is doing all it can to support and enhance the patient's desire to remain free of the drug, and accepted easily recovered if drug and returned to the program. The follow the style of preaching and guidance to inform the authorized person on how much drug is shameful and harmful drug use will not achieve much. If treatment Authority has been able to understand what it means to use the drug for the individual, they would be in a better position to help the chronically addicted to refer to the way a normal life.Linking treatment rehabilitation and social reintegrationThe treatment alone limited its ability to help drug-dependent in the case of access to the liberation of the drug and return to the way of life and a more fruitful achievement. The treatment in this context, is an early step in a longer process, and should be linked to treatment programs since the beginning of such broader measures which constitute rehabilitative measures with other measures to help restore health. If you put this into account in policy development, program will be more successful.Alternative ways of lifeIs part of the rehabilitation programs in the learning experiences of mental normality and the best and most durable of the experiences of drug abuse. One of the ways of learning experiences psychological normality is through alternative learning experiences. This will vary from one person to another which may learn some new behavioral skills, or engage themselves in sports and activities carried out in the open, and others find pleasure in music or art.Some young people have been interested in developing a greater awareness of self. Others interested in developing a greater awareness of others. Some have shown great interest in the religious aspects and science lessons. All of this is done through cognitive rehabilitation programs.The role of the psychological, behavioral and other approachesThe medical aspects of treatment should not be a substitute for other approaches that can help the patient to modify aware of itself, and aware of others and their behavior. For example, consideration should be given to removing the poisoning, as a prelude to these other approachesMedical methods of treatmentIf the individual escaped chance of prevention, we must firmly grasp the opportunity of treatment to be a last resort. Whether to get rid of the individual to such devastating health damage, or to save him from suffering and the pain of withdrawal on both stage. And the treatment of addiction has successive stages, cannot be hashed sufficient stage of it without the other, or the application of some of without some, because that would hurt him and weaken the results may not be made, for example, simply the first phase of ridding the body of toxins addictive without psycho-social therapy, because a solution temporary and may not be sufficient this without re-formulation of the penitent relationship of addiction with his family and his community, then without tracking status to prevent potential setbacks which represents a serious threat to the fate of the therapeutic process as a whole.As to treatment, and one unit, it is also a collective action starts from the same addict who should have the opportunity to contribute positively to its success, This is true even if the treatment without his will though have a court order or under family pressure, but that the participation of the family itself necessity in all stages of treatment, also needed to cure the problems of the family, whether these problems were addictive or caused him.It is necessary to cure not only all of that, but should be integrated therapeutic disciplines and are determined to reach the desired result, which is cured and not partial healing or limited; so that true healing is not limited only to treat the symptoms of withdrawal and then leaving the addict then to relapse, but You must get him to retrieve the original recovery of the three facets, physical, psychological, social, ensuring effective return to society and protect him from the setbacks in a period of not less than six months in the new cases, or a year or two in the cases that have already suffered repeated setbacks .On the whole it is the greater number of setbacks and increased the seriousness of the addictive material must militancy in healing standards even in cases accompanied by a serious personality disorder or that took place in criminal behavior no matter how specific, and begin the stages of treatment following stages:1) Dismiss drug from body:-A medical stage at the base, so that the human body normally but gets rid automatically toxins; therefore the treatment provided to users at this stage is to help the body to carry out normal turn, and also alleviate the withdrawal pains with compensation for lost fluids, and then treat Symptoms resulting multiplexed phase withdrawal, this, and this stage interfere with the next phase of her psychological and social therapy; so it is useful to get an early start treatment as soon as psychosocial and improved health status of the users.2) Psychosocial treatment phaseIf addiction social and psychological phenomenon in the base. This stage become a necessity, they are considered the real treatment for the addicted, they focused on the same problem, in order to eliminate the causes of addiction.
