The Effects of Methamphetamine.

Methamphetamine, commonly known as d-methamphetamine, crystal meth, or simply meth, is a potent synthetic stimulant. It acts directly on the central nervous system. This means it affects the brain and spinal cord.

The drug’s effects are similar to other stimulants. When used, it causes a large release of brain chemicals. These include norepinephrine and dopamine. Many other brain chemicals are also released. This leads to intense feelings of pleasure. Users experience a surge of energy. They might feel invincible. These are called psychoactive effects.

Because of how it affects these brain chemicals, methamphetamine is highly addictive. Addiction can cause serious mental health issues. Long-term use severely impacts the heart. It can lead to coronary artery disease. This is a narrowing of the heart’s arteries. Heart failure is another risk. The chances of having a heart attack increase significantly. Strokes also become more likely.

The surge in dopamine creates a powerful sense of reward. This can quickly lead to dependence. The brain begins to crave the drug. Without it, users experience withdrawal. This can involve severe depression and fatigue. The initial euphoria fades. Users then chase the original high. This cycle reinforces the addiction.

The stimulation of norepinephrine increases heart rate and blood pressure. This constant strain on the cardiovascular system is damaging. Over time, blood vessels can harden. This makes them less flexible. This contributes to conditions like coronary artery disease. The heart muscle itself can weaken from the overexertion. This can result in heart failure. The risk of blood clots forming also rises. These clots can travel to the brain, causing a stroke.

Mental health problems associated with meth use are varied. Psychosis is a serious concern. This involves losing touch with reality. Users may experience hallucinations or delusions. Paranoia is also common. These symptoms can persist even after drug use stops. Depression and anxiety disorders are frequent. Cognitive function can be impaired. This affects memory, attention, and decision-making.

The Addiction Clinics Methamphetamine Treatment Program.

Our Methamphetamine Treatment Program.

The addiction clinic employs Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that can alter brain activity and reshape your neural pathways, resulting in modifications to your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.  

Neural pathways serve as the communication network of the brain, formed by interconnected neurons that transmit signals across the brain and body, thereby shaping your present state of reality.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is globally acknowledged by medical professionals and cognitive behavioral specialists as the premier intervention for meth dependence.

Our distinguished clinicians possess an outstanding understanding of methamphetamine and will promptly tackle the underlying cause of your meth addiction.

In addition to the psychotherapist’s extensive expertise, a Recovery Support Specialist complements the team. 

This senior staff member has received comprehensive training in the treatment of drug addiction, specifically focusing on relapse prevention, and works with you daily to formulate strategies for managing risks.

Establishing coping mechanisms is essential to ensure long-term recovery for individuals.

Our evidence-based outpatient rehabilitation program employs a sophisticated three-phased strategy for addressing drug addiction.
