Addiction to methamphetamine, commonly known as meth, is one of the most challenging addictions to overcome. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most severe, as it can physically and psychologically devastate those who use it. At Quest Wellness Center in Los Angeles, California, we can help you overcome meth addiction. According to the 2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, an estimated 1.1 million Americans struggle with methamphetamine use, experiencing issues such as physical withdrawal, persistent or increasing use, and failure to fulfill major responsibilities at work, school, or home.

Methamphetamine Addiction Treatment

Treatment begins after completing detoxification. The goal of treatment is to help you lead a healthy life without using meth. It may also address other underlying conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or anxiety. Several treatment options are available for meth addiction, and often more than one approach is used simultaneously. Your treatment plan may include one or more of the following:

Behavioral therapy is considered the most effective treatment for meth addiction. There are two main types: cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and contingency management (CM) interventions. Other common behavioral therapies include individual counseling, family counseling, 12-step programs, and support groups.

Promising medication treatments for meth addiction also exist. Recovery from a methamphetamine addiction begins with comprehensive detoxification courses, which involve removing the drug from users’ bodies and helping them adjust to functioning without it. Additionally, treatment should address the psychological damage caused by meth, aiming to rehabilitate the mind and teach recovering users how to live and thrive daily without the compulsion to seek meth.
