Methamphetamine has long been a drug of abuse. Recently, a resurgence of its use has spread across the country. A smokable form of methamphetamine hydrochloride with the street name "ice" has spread eastward from Hawaii and California. It has strong stimulant properties, is twice as toxic as amphetamine, is associated with multiple system effects similar to cocaine. Treatment of acute intoxication is symptomatic and may include hydration, temperature regulation, seizure management, control of agitation, and monitoring for cardiac arrhythmias. Long-term treatment of addiction requires drug rehabilitation and inpatient counseling.
甲基苯丙胺长期以来一直是一种滥用药物。最近，其使用的再度兴起已蔓延至全国。一种街头名为“冰”的可吸食形式的盐酸甲基苯丙胺已从夏威夷和加利福尼亚向东扩散。它具有很强的兴奋特性，毒性是苯丙胺的两倍，会产生与可卡因类似的多系统效应。急性中毒的治疗是对症治疗，可能包括补液、体温调节、癫痫发作管理、控制躁动以及监测心律失常。成瘾的长期治疗需要药物康复和住院咨询。
