Understanding the Program
What Is Methamphetamine Addiction?
Methamphetamine is a stimulant that makes an individual feel more alert, active and energetic, by releasing large amounts of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine. When used under a physician’s care, methamphetamine may be prescribed for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and some forms of sleep disorders. But when abused, it can create psychoactive effects in an individual by making them feel invincible, accompanied by powerful euphoric effects. Long term use of methamphetamine creates a host of physical and mental health issues, including significant neurological issues and disorders.
Methamphetamine creates a massive surge of energy and feel-good feelings immediately upon consumption but then quickly changes to uncomfortable, painful or negative feelings. Chronic use of meth can create long term depression and dysthymia.
Diagnosis and treatment of methamphetamine addiction happens in multiple stages. Because of the highly addictive nature of methamphetamine, relapse is part of the recovery process, so multiple iterations of treatment may be necessary.
Individuals who try to quit on their own may encounter severe withdrawal symptoms which can sometimes be fatal. It is highly recommended that treatment be provided by a licensed medical team under surveillance.
Recovery from methamphetamine addiction is possible — with the right support, evidence-based care, and a plan built for you.
