Methamphetamine
Methamphetamine, commonly known as meth, is a highly addictive and illegal stimulant that affects the central nervous system. It's structurally similar to amphetamine but has more pronounced effects on the brain and central nervous system, leading to increased activity, decreased appetite, and a sense of euphoria. Meth is known for its high potential for abuse and can cause severe physical and psychological dependence....
Description
Testing for methamphetamine is essential for individuals in drug rehabilitation programs, as it helps monitor abstinence and prevent relapse. It’s also important in workplace drug testing, especially in safety-sensitive occupations. Legal and forensic contexts, such as criminal investigations and DUI cases, often require methamphetamine testing. Additionally, healthcare providers may test for meth use in cases of suspected overdose or when treating individuals with signs of substance abuse.
Methamphetamine can be detected in urine for 3 to 6 days after use, in blood for up to 48 hours, in saliva for 1 to 4 days, and in hair for up to 90 days. These detection periods can vary based on factors like the frequency of use, dosage, and individual metabolism.
For most accurate results, GetTested’s methamphetamine test should ideally be taken within 3-6 days after the last use.
