Meth Addiction
In a 2017 study, the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) reported that 1.6 million Americans had used Methamphetamines in the past year. An estimated 964 thousand people were diagnosed with Methamphetamine Use Disorder (MUD) in 2017 and the number is growing.
Methamphetamine Use Disorder or Methamphetamine addiction is determined by how meth usage affects a person’s life. People who become clinically addicted to Meth report an inability to keep up with responsibilities at work, school, or in their personal life. They also often have faced legal consequences for their addiction and medical issues related to meth use.

Meth Rehab & Addiction Treatment
There are many options to choose from once a methamphetamine addict decides to reach out for help. Most people enter into a meth rehab and start with medical detox. They then move on to an inpatient or outpatient treatment program. This is typically followed up with an aftercare program that will include support groups and a continuing care program.
To effectively treat drug addiction, a variety of treatments should be utilized. The most successful treatments for meth addiction incorporate psychotherapy, support groups, and medication.
Psychotherapy for Meth Addiction
Therapy plays an important part in meth rehab and in helping an addict to recover. By teaching a person who has become dependent upon methamphetamines to interact with their environment in a healthier way, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can reduce the amount of “triggers” that lead an addict to use meth. A lot of people relapse after a thirty-day treatment program because they were able to become physically sober when using meth wasn’t an option. But as soon as they were released back into their old environment they found the urge to use was just as strong as ever.
These relapse-prone addicts need to learn to moderate their expectations on life in order not to become frustrated and stressed out when things don’t go their way. By delving into the deep dissatisfaction with life that typically accompanies addiction, a person can take steps to be more at ease with their environment and those around them.

Detox from Meth
Our meth rehab at Healthy Life Recovery includes detox in order to rid the body’s system of the dangerous drug. Most methamphetamine users will be familiar with the experience of the crash that follows a meth binge. This is the first stage of the detox process and usually lasts just a couple of days. However, this is only the first stage of withdrawal symptoms.
The symptoms of withdrawal from methamphetamines are usually longer than the withdrawal from other drugs. Most symptoms will fall off after about three weeks, but some can continue for over a month. The worst symptoms begin about 3 days after the last usage and can include depression, anxiety and severe fatigue. During the entirety of the detox process, the person who is attempting to quit meth will have intense cravings for the drug. Because a person will likely desire or attempt to use meth in an attempt to soothe their symptoms, a professionally- monitored medical detox is always recommended.
