Description:Methamphetamine killed 174 people in San Diego in 2012 and it continues to impact lives across the county, according to the Methamphetamine Strike Force.
“It’s prevalent and I don’t know if people know how much it is,” said Jeanne McAlister, founder of McAlister Institute in El Cajon, a rehab facility for teen and adult addicts.
McAlister said 40 percent of the people who come to her center are addicted to the meth.(1:39)
