Methamphetamine withdrawal and detox
Methamphetamine withdrawal typically involves extreme fatigue, hypersomnia, depression, anxiety, and possible lingering psychosis; the crash phase lasts one to two weeks. Because the risk is psychiatric rather than medical, clients typically begin in inpatient or PHP with immediate psychiatric evaluation and mood support.
Medication-assisted treatment
Treatment options for methamphetamine include no FDA-approved medication; treatment relies on structured behavioral programs, contingency management, and psychiatric stabilization. Medication decisions are made by our physicians with you, based on your history, and are combined with therapy rather than used alone.
Therapy and dual diagnosis care
Most people with methamphetamine use disorder also have a co-occurring condition such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. We assess for these at intake and treat them at the same time. Core therapies include CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, trauma-focused therapy, and family work.
