How Can I Find Meth Detox Help?

Methamphetamine is a central nervous system stimulant often referred to as crystal meth, crystal, crank, speed, or ice. Most meth comes from illegal production in domestic and foreign super labs or individual productions known as “shake and bake.” According to the U.S. Department of Justice, “Methamphetamine is cheap and addictive…. largely because of the simple preparation methods used and manufacturers’ easy access to the necessary precursor chemicals.” If you’re dependent or addicted to this drug, you will need meth detox help.

Depending on the user and their levels or methods of abuse, meth withdrawals can be serious, painful, and frightening. Physical symptoms typically include intense cravings, increased heart rate and blood pressure, increased appetite, irregular heartbeat, insomnia, agitation, and sensations of bugs crawling under the skin. Psychological withdrawal symptoms may be depression, confusion, paranoia, violent behaviors, hallucinations, memory loss, and delusions. In the most severe cases, these symptoms can be even more dangerous and result in serious health complications.

Meth Detox

The meth abuser needs to be physically and psychologically stabilized while their bodies go through the meth detox. As withdrawal symptoms occur, they need to be immediately attended to by medical professionals and other qualified clinicians who have experience and are able to administer support and medications when necessary. There are no FDA approved medications available to treat methamphetamine addiction, but medications can be used to alleviate distressing symptoms until the person is stabilized.
