Meth has devastated the gay community for decades. A new treatment offers hope. Benjamin Ryan Do you want to be a 50-year-old meth addict?
For Roger, the enormity of what he had lost during his nearly two decades of off-and-on methamphetamine use and what more he had to lose hit home hard when a man he was dating asked him that question.
Roger, who was 47 at the time, had already suffered a major ischemic stroke thanks to meth, the powerfully addictive stimulant that had long since taken over his life.
So when Roger, who is from Dallas and asked that his last name not be published for fear that meth s stigma could hurt his career, heard that a study was looking for people like him to test a treatment for meth use disorder, he jumped at the chance.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â Experts firmly believe that the spread of coronavirus would actually be much worse than it has been if not for the decision last spring to either suggest, or enforce mask wearing.
âI think all you have to do is look at countries or communities where mask wearing has been the norm and you can see theyâve been more successful in decreasing virus transmission,â said Dr. Craig Martin from the University of Kentuckyâs College of Pharmacy.
LEX 18 spoke to Dr. Martin after looking over a report that suggested wearing two masks might make an even greater impact on reducing transmission.
