Abstract
An editorial is presented which addresses the need for an early assertive intervention to treat methamphetamine-related psychosis, and it mentions substance use prevention plans, mental health services, and the public health aspects of methamphetamine use and dependence in places such as Australia and the U.S. Crystal methamphetamine abuse and transient psychotic symptoms are examined, along with drug-induced psychoses and disorders such as schizophrenia.
