What is methamphetamine?

Methamphetamine (meth) is a highly addictive stimulant that affects the central nervous system. It usually appears as a white crystalline powder or in rock-like chunks (crystal meth). Users typically smoke, snort, inject, or swallow meth to achieve intense feelings of energy, focus, and euphoria. However, these effects are short-lived and followed by devastating crashes, cravings, and mental health deterioration.

Illicit meth is often made in makeshift labs using toxic chemicals, making it especially dangerous and unpredictable in potency.

How meth affects the brain and body

Short-term effects include:

  • Intense euphoria and increased energy

  • Decreased appetite
  • Heightened attention and wakefulness
  • Increased heart rate and body temperature

Long-term effects include:

  • Severe dental problems (“meth mouth”)
  • Weight loss and malnutrition

Our outpatient treatment for methamphetamine addiction is designed to meet the unique mental, physical, and emotional demands of meth recovery. We address both the addiction itself and any co-occurring disorders, such as anxiety, depression, or trauma.

Our clinical approach includes:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Psychiatric support for dual diagnosis clients
  • Group therapy and recovery coaching
  • Relapse prevention and coping skills
