Meth Addiction Treatment
Methamphetamine, commonly known as crystal meth, is a highly addictive substance with serious short- and long-term consequences. Its impact extends to relationships, health, and personal goals, making it a formidable challenge to overcome.
However, recovery is within reach with the right support and treatment. At Behavioral Health of the Palm Beaches in Lake Worth, Florida, we offer a comprehensive approach to meth addiction treatment. Our program integrates medical care, evidence-based therapies, and compassionate support to address every facet of addiction—physical, mental, and emotional.
From the initial detox phase to ongoing recovery support, we’re committed to guiding you through each step of your journey. While taking the first step towards recovery may seem daunting, you don’t have to do it alone. Together, we can break free from meth addiction and help you build the fulfilling life you deserve.
What is Meth Addiction?
Whether it’s smoked, injected, or snorted, meth triggers the release of loads of dopamine in the brain, making it a very addictive drug. When someone is dealing with meth addiction, they often spend much of their time either seeking out or using the drug, even if they also experience harmful consequences.
Meth is a powerful stimulant that dramatically affects the central nervous system, creating intense feelings of euphoria and energy. Since its effects are short-lived, people who use meth often fall into a cycle of repeated use and addiction.
Addiction to meth often goes hand in hand with tolerance, meaning someone needs more and more of the drug for the same effect.
The signs of meth addiction often are:
- Intense cravings for meth
- Increased energy and hyperactivity
- Decreased appetite and weight loss
- Insomnia or irregular sleep patterns
- Erratic or violent behavior
- Paranoia and hallucinations
- Severe dental problems (“meth mouth”)
- Skin sores from picking
- Rapid mood swings
- Neglecting responsibilities and relationships
Meth addiction can have a devastating impact not only on a person’s physical health, but also on their mental and emotional well-being. It can negatively impact your finances, professional life, and personal relationships, too.
Why Seeking Meth Addiction Treatment is Crucial
Whether you use the drug for a short or long period of time, it harms your body. In the short term, meth can make your heart beat faster and increase your breathing rate. Over the long term, using meth can damage the major organs, such as the liver, brain, heart, and lungs.
There’s also the mental and emotional impact of meth use to consider. Addiction to meth often goes along with other mental health disorders, like depression and anxiety. On the emotional side, meth addiction can strain relationships, driving a wedge between you and your loved ones.
Treatment for methamphetamine addiction can help you avoid the physical effects of long-term meth use while also helping you better your personal, professional, and financial life. Getting on the path to recover can also help you avoid legal troubles and other social consequences associated with substance use disorder.
You might believe that you can overcome meth addiction on your own, but seeking professional help is often the most effective path to recovery. From medical detox to therapy, working with a team of experts ensures safety and support throughout the treatment process. Additionally, professional guidance significantly enhances the chances of a successful recovery, making it a crucial step in achieving lasting change.
Professional treatment offers:
- Safe, medically supervised detoxification
- Evidence-based therapies to address underlying issues
- Strategies to manage cravings and prevent relapse
- Support for repairing relationships and rebuilding life skills
- Ongoing care to maintain long-term recovery
Comprehensive Meth Addiction Treatment at BHOPB
We offer a full spectrum of care to support your journey to recovery from meth addiction:
Detox Programs
Medically supervised detox is usually the first step toward recovery from meth addiction. It helps you safely manage withdrawal symptoms as meth leaves your system. Our medical team provides 24/7 care, ensuring your comfort and safety throughout this crucial phase.
Residential Treatment
After detox, many clients move into our residential treatment program. Here, you’ll live on-site and engage in intensive therapy and recovery activities. This structured environment allows you to focus fully on your recovery without outside distractions.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
We offer a partial hospitalization program for individuals who don’t need 24-hour supervision or intensive medical treatment. Depending on your condition, you may begin treatment in this program or move into it as you begin to reintegrate into your everyday life following a residential program.
During PHP, you attend treatment sessions during the day while living at home or in a sobriety house. PHP is typically more intense than a standard outpatient program, as it requires you to attend sessions and therapy for several hours daily, up to five days per week.
Individual and Group Therapy
To support your residential treatment, we offer a range of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing. These sessions help you understand the root causes of your addiction, develop coping strategies, and build a strong foundation for lasting recovery.
Motivational interviewing works by having the patient set a goal, usually to stop using meth. The patient describes their reasons for wanting to make the change, then works with a therapist to explore ways to reach their goal.
Currently, there are no medications available to help treat meth addiction. Therapy is typically the most effective way to help individuals overcome the desire to use the drug.
Holistic Therapy
Our treatment approach considers mind, body, and spirit. We offer yoga, meditation, art therapy, and more to complement your therapy and support overall well-being.
