South Africa Statistics
Crystal Meth seems to be the latest drug and is unfortunately now being used by school children. Crystal meth is now attracting extremely young first-time drug users. The greatest rise in registered users seeking help or treatment / rehab (residential or non residential) comes from those under the age of 20. Treatment centers / rehabs in South Africa are reportedly treating children as young as 13 years of age. In 1996, 5 percent of people seeking treatment were under 20 years. This shot up to 20-25 percent by 2003.
