A judge authorized the blue paper. Officers returned him to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">By midafternoon, Mr. Burns sat in his police van in the hospital parking lot, juggling phone calls from social workers, hospital staff, beat cops and members of his behavioral unit. In the rush to get the young man committed, no one remembered to grab the blue paper, which was still sitting on a desk at the police department.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Burns, who has worked with homeless people around the country for three decades, massaged his aching temples. \u201cEveryone is spinning,\u201d he said. \u201cThe person on meth has no idea what\u2019s going on, and neither do we. At the end of the day, nothing really gets better.

In Portland, people living in shelters or encampments say meth keeps them alert against theft and sexual assault.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cOften meth use is a story of trying to survive,\u201d said Dr. Kevin Sullivan, who <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.greaterportlandhealth.org\/services\/healthcare-for-the-homeless-program\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">lugs a cart<\/a> of emergency medical supplies for Bayside patients living on the streets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When meth euphoria wanes, many people keep using to reignite the high.

Paranoia and hallucinations seize them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When people get pounded by meth withdrawal \u2014 sweating, depression, agitation \u2014 they may<span class=\"css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0\">  <\/span>self-soothe with fentanyl to help them, in street talk,<span class=\"css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0\">  <\/span>\u201cland.\u201d Conversely, when fentanyl users go into withdrawal, they may grab meth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/16\/health\/meth-maine-fentanyl.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three hours later, the 86th call: He was exposing himself in a Portland park.
