Methamphetamine Detox

Methamphetamine Detox and Drug Addiction Treatment Program

Methamphetamine, commonly known as meth, poses significant challenges due to its highly addictive nature and the severe physical and psychological effects it produces. At Dunwoody Recovery Place, our methamphetamine detox program is tailored to help individuals overcome addiction and embark on a path to recovery in a supportive and medically supervised environment.

What Our Methamphetamine Detox Consists Of

Our comprehensive approach to meth detox includes:

Medical Supervision: Continuous monitoring to manage the intense withdrawal symptoms safely and effectively.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): Use of medications to alleviate the discomfort of withdrawal symptoms and treat any co-occurring mental health disorders.

Behavioral Therapies: Evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to address the psychological aspects of meth addiction.

Nutritional Support and Physical Rehabilitation: Helping restore physical health through proper nutrition and physical therapy.

Relapse Prevention Education: Empowering patients with tools and strategies to maintain long-term sobriety.

The Need for Methamphetamine Detox

Methamphetamine use increases the amount of the natural chemical dopamine in the brain, which stimulates brain cells, enhancing mood and body movement. It is highly addictive, and users often try to prevent a drop in dopamine levels by taking more of the drug, leading to a dangerous cycle of dependence.
