something that doesn't make any sense. Like " I found something in my car and I'm taking it to the FBI" or " How do these people get into the house to wire everything". My moms neighbors were having some kind of get together and started yelling at them and calling them all molesters. Is this normal behavior for someone who is recovering from meth use? Will it ever go away or will he always be like this? HELPLESS

Hi, Helpless. I'm no expert here. I'm simply going to relate things I have heard:
Using meth can increase the likelihood of psychosis. We talking about seeing or hearing things or delusional thinking. You son thinking that people got into the house to wire stuff is an example. People high on meth or similar recreational drugs typically experience these states. In fact, in the lab, mice tend to be fed meth to mimic these states for observation and study.
Even if your son has been clean for some time, there is the possibility that his brain has been "sensitized" to future psychosis. I emphasize "possibility." This may or may not be happening. I suggest you Google "meth induced psychosis." This will give you a general background. Then you need to be talking to someone qualified in both psychosis and substance abuse. Hope this helps.
