Crystal meth is a form of methamphetamine that is manufactured illegally for illicit use. On a chemical level, methamphetamine is similar to amphetamine, a type of drug used to treat a variety of physical and mental health concerns, including attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. However, due to its high potential for abuse, methamphetamine has very few accepted medical uses and is strictly regulated. Crystal meth does not have any accepted medical uses in the United States and is classified as a Schedule II narcotic by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
Crystal methamphetamine has a clear or white-blue rock-like appearance. It can be swallowed, snorted, or injected, but it is most often smoked. Once ingested, meth creates a fast, euphoric “rush,” but it is incredibly dangerous and harmful to the body. In just a short time, it can cause significant damage and substantially alter various pathways in the brain.
Like other types of drugs, meth affects each individual user differently. However, there are certain universal signs of increased tolerance, dependency, and addiction.
Some signs that you may be developing an addiction to crystal meth include:
Additionally, some of the signs that another person you love and care about could be addicted to meth include:
Crystal meth users often use the drug in a method known as “tweaking.” During this time, signs of drug use may be more obvious. The individual will use meth for a prolonged period (several days to weeks), which will be characterized by intense hyperactivity, insomnia, confusion, anxiety, and paranoia. Following this, they will experience a “crash,” typically characterized by excessive fatigue and exhaustion, as well as depression and cravings.
Like other forms of drug addiction, methamphetamine addiction is a disease. Because the drug alters the brain, it is extremely difficult—if not impossible—for a person to quit using meth without the help of a professional team of addiction specialists. At The Lakes Treatment Center, we use proven techniques to help treat not only the addiction but also the underlying trauma and co-occurring disorders that so frequently accompany substance use disorders.
We offer a comprehensive, residential meth addiction treatment program for those in Modesto and the nearby areas. Our program includes:
All treatment at our facility begins with a comprehensive and personalized assessment. We recognize that everyone is different, which is why we tailor our program and services to meet the unique needs of each individual. We believe that a successful recovery requires a truly integrated approach, one that addresses all aspects of the self.
The length of methamphetamine addiction treatment can vary depending on the individual’s needs. Some patients may require a short-term program, while others may benefit from a longer-term program. Our treatment team will work with you to determine the most appropriate length of treatment.
Quitting methamphetamine cold turkey can be dangerous and increase the risk of severe withdrawal symptoms. It’s important to seek professional help during the detoxification process.
Yes, methamphetamine addiction can have a significant impact on the brain. Prolonged use can lead to changes in brain structure and function, which can contribute to cognitive impairments and behavioral problems.
Family and friends can play a crucial role in supporting a person’s recovery from methamphetamine addiction. Providing love, encouragement, and understanding can make a significant difference in the recovery process.
