Methamphetamine, also known as meth, crystal meth, or ice, is a powerful and highly addictive stimulant that can have devastating effects on every aspect of a person’s life. The grip of meth addiction is overwhelming, often leading to severe physical health problems, cognitive decline, and significant mental health issues like paranoia and psychosis.
At The Palms Recovery, we want you to know that healing is possible. Our dedicated methamphetamine addiction treatment program provides a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space to break free from the cycle of use. We offer a comprehensive, evidence-based approach designed to heal your mind and body, helping you reclaim the life you deserve.
Long-term meth use rewires the brain’s reward system, making it incredibly difficult to quit alone. The “crash” that follows a binge can lead to extreme depression, anxiety, fatigue, and psychosis. Users often find themselves trapped in a cycle of using simply to feel “normal” or to escape these debilitating lows.
Professional treatment is essential for:
We treat the whole person, not just the addiction. Our program is tailored to the unique challenges of stimulant use disorder, with a strong focus on mental and emotional health.
1. Medical Stabilization
While meth withdrawal is typically not as physically life-threatening as alcohol or opiate withdrawal, the psychological crash is severe. Our team provides 24/7 support in a safe, structured environment to help you get through this initial period, managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and exhaustion so you can become stable enough to begin therapeutic work.
2. Dual Diagnosis for Mental Health
Methamphetamine use is strongly linked to co-occurring mental health disorders, either as a root cause or a consequence of the drug use. Our dual diagnosis program is critical for treating conditions like:
Anxiety and Panic Disorders
Severe Depression
Meth-Induced Psychosis and Paranoia
Bipolar Disorder
Treating both the addiction and the mental health condition simultaneously is essential for preventing relapse.
3. Evidence-Based Therapy: The Core of Recovery
The cornerstone of our methamphetamine addiction treatment is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This therapy is highly effective for stimulant addiction, helping you:
Identify the triggers (people, places, and emotions) that lead to use.
Challenge and reframe the thoughts and beliefs that fuel the addiction.
Develop new, healthy coping skills to manage cravings and stress.
You will participate in individual therapy for deep, personal work and group therapy to build a community of peer support.
Meth rehab is a structured program focused on psychological healing. It involves intensive therapy (like CBT), counseling, and education to help you understand the root causes of your addiction. It also emphasizes holistic care, including nutritional support and mindfulness, to help your brain and body heal from the effects of the drug.
The duration of treatment is personalized. Because meth can have long-lasting effects on the brain, a stay of 60-90 days in a residential or partial hospitalization program is often recommended. This is typically followed by a “step-down” to an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) to ensure a strong, supportive transition back to daily life.
Yes, but it’s different from alcohol or heroin detox. Instead of a medically dangerous physical withdrawal, meth detox (or “stabilization”) involves managing the severe psychological “crash.” This includes symptoms like extreme depression, agitation, anxiety, and fatigue, which are best managed in a 24/7 supportive, clinical environment.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is widely considered the most effective therapeutic approach for methamphetamine addiction. It directly addresses the behavioral patterns and thought processes that lead to use and provides clients with practical, real-world skills to manage triggers and prevent relapse.
5. Can you recover from meth-induced psychosis? In many cases, yes. Psychotic symptoms like paranoia and hallucinations are often a direct effect of the drug’s toxicity and sleep deprivation. These symptoms typically subside within days or weeks of stopping use in a safe, clinical setting. Our dual diagnosis team is experienced in managing these symptoms and can determine if there is an underlying, persistent mental health condition that requires further treatment.
