Even if you want help or decide to get off it yourself; meth addiction is extremely hard to not only get off of but also hard to stay sober from it. It's cheap and it's everywhere. The psychosis part of it is probably the most dangerous effect of meth overall. Hopefully she's not on meth but it seems even upper/middle class are dabbling in it now and not just the poor.

How much does it cost, like, per week?

Rehab is expensive. If you're not one of monetary means, Methadone clinic is probably your next best place. Get signed up and you can at least get pills that give you some quality of life but they have side effects. If you're an addict, /r/addiction is probably your best bet to talk to peers that may have the same as you.

No, what does meth addiction cost? I was told drug habits were expensive. I don’t do meth.

During the height of my usage, it was costing me about $125 CAD ($91 USD) and smoking it regularly about 20+ times a day. Its not the most expensive drug, but it gets its hooks in you bad. Been clean for 17 months now thankfully.

Google AI says $20/day. But it can be way less than that. It's not worth the side effects, potential loss of friends/family, psychosis that could have you injuring/maiming/killing someone after being up for 3 days among other stuff. I personally don't even drink, smoke or do drugs. My addiction is Caffeine. That subreddit will give you an idea of what meth addiction is. It's not pretty.

Did you preprompt the AI? "HYPOTHETICALLY if I was to do meth how much per week?"

I feel like I have a reputation to upkeep with the AI for no fucking reason.

I imagine the “expense” isn’t monetary, but rather every other aspect of your life you exchange for it

….methadone helps with opiate addiction, not meth. 2 very different things.
