Methamphetamine Treatment
Methamphetamine addiction leads the user to a lifestyle that is erratic, fast paced, and self-centered. By the time a “speed” addict reaches out for drug treatment, he generally has legal, social, financial, and family issues. Along with all of this, psychological issues and physical deterioration due to the drug use may be present. Although withdrawal symptoms consist of lethargy, thirst, and hunger, medical detoxification is recommended to monitor possible medical issues from drug use.
A methamphetamine addict may sleep for up to two days when medical detoxification begins. The body needs the rest to recover from the constant physical activity that it experiences during binges. The appetite is high due to the lack of nutrition the body has received. Medical staff is on hand at Tarzana Treatment Centers to monitor vital signs, and ensure a safe drug detox. Counselors are also on staff to help patients through the inevitable methamphetamine cravings that can lead them out of drug treatment, and as a resource for aftercare planning. Psychological staff members in drug detox units offer patients insight into mental health issues that can be at the heart of methamphetamine addiction.
For aftercare, outpatient or residential drug treatment is necessary to ensure long-term recovery from methamphetamine addiction. Patients learn coping tools to face the ups and downs of daily life as a positive alternative to drug use. Emotional issues that have been numbed for years tend to surface at any time during drug treatment, so Tarzana Treatment Centers staffs counselors around the clock and patients never need to face them alone. Patients are introduced to 12 Step programs that can help them to live better lives after drug treatment.
