Methamphetamine addiction is a serious but treatable condition. California offers comprehensive treatment options that help people reclaim their lives from meth addiction.
Meth withdrawal, while not typically dangerous, can be extremely uncomfortable. Symptoms include intense fatigue, depression, and powerful cravings that can persist for weeks.
Behavioral therapies are the cornerstone of meth addiction treatment. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and contingency management have shown strong effectiveness for stimulant use disorders.
The Matrix Model, developed specifically for stimulant addiction, combines various therapeutic approaches into an intensive 16-week outpatient program.
While no medications are FDA-approved specifically for meth addiction, medical support addresses co-occurring conditions and manages symptoms during recovery.
At Surf City Detox, we provide supportive care during meth withdrawal and connect clients with comprehensive treatment programs. Recovery from meth addiction is possible with the right help.
