Methamphetamine has surged in Ohio over the past decade. The high-purity P2P (phenyl-2-propanone) meth manufactured in Mexican labs has replaced homemade pseudoephedrine-based product, and meth-involved overdose deaths have risen sharply — most involving fentanyl as well. Meth is now a primary or secondary substance in a large share of Ohio addiction treatment admissions.

The P2P Shift

P2P methamphetamine is purer, cheaper, and more psychiatrically toxic than the earlier product. It produces more severe psychosis — paranoia, hallucinations, tactile sensations of insects under the skin — and more profound cognitive and mood damage. Ohio’s meth supply is now overwhelmingly P2P.

Meth and Fentanyl

Meth-involved overdose deaths in Ohio have increased many-fold, and most involve fentanyl — through contamination or intentional combination (using opioids to manage the meth crash). Stimulant users are dying of opioid overdose. Naloxone and test strips are essential for meth users.

Geography

Meth is prevalent across rural Ohio, Appalachian counties, and urban areas alike. Franklin County has seen meth-involved deaths rise sharply.

Treatment

No medication is approved for meth use disorder; contingency management and CBT have the strongest evidence. Residential care provides structure through the crash and early recovery; dual diagnosis treatment addresses psychosis and depression. See meth addiction, meth treatment, and meth withdrawal.
