An Everett hospital was chosen to take part in a research study for a new treatment for meth addiction. • So far, doctors say results have been promising. • Curtis Letzkus has been through the Providence Hospital emergency department more times than he can remember for overdoses and other addiction-related issues. • I've been in and out of this hospital for years and years, he said. One of my more lengthy stays was 67 days in the ICU. So, yeah, I've been here a bit. • Among other things, Letzkus was addicted to meth. His disease caused him to live in a tent for 9 years. Getting clean was brutal. • The withdrawal is really uncomfortable, said Letzkus. A lot of sweating and a lot of anxiety. Not being able to sleep for days and days. Fidgeting all the time. It isn't pretty. • Letzkus was far from alone. • According to the State Department of Health, the number of fatal meth overdoses in Washington ballooned from 54 in 2000 to 728 in 2020. • Nationwide, between 2015 and 2019, meth-related deaths grew exponentially to more than 15,000 per year, a 180% increase, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. • While there are medical and chemical treatments to help people recover from opioid addiction there is nothing for meth, until now. • READ THE FULL STORY: • https://www.king5.com/article/news/he...
