Why Do You Need a Meth Detox Center?

For most people struggling with substance use disorders (SUDs), medical detox centers specializing in the substance they have a problem with are crucial because of the professional and psychological support they provide. During detox, meth-dependent clients can receive medications that reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings, as well as therapy to help them transition into a drug-free life. Medical professionals at the center can also customize treatment plans for each person depending on their unique needs.

Promises Behavioral Health therapists explain that withdrawal is primarily a physical response. You no longer supply your body with the chemicals it expects. Therefore, it now acts out with reminders that it wants them. Besides that, several neurotransmitters now rely on the meth for release. Withholding it leads to symptoms such as:

• • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Fatigue
  • Insomnia
  • Irritability
  • Mood swings
  • Nausea and vomiting

Other symptoms such as joint pain, headaches, sweats, and shakes may also arise depending on the individual. At a meth detox center, you can cleanse your body of addictive substances and eventually transition into further addiction treatment, such as a substance abuse treatment program.

What to Expect from a Meth Detox Program

Detoxing from meth without assistance is unpleasant. That’s why there’s such a high relapse potential when you try to quit at home. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) eases the discomfort of detox from meth. It keeps you going. Most importantly, it can help you regain equilibrium faster. MAT, if needed, can be carried over past your detox program and onto your inpatient or outpatient rehab program. Possible additional aspects of meth detox programs include:

• • Acupuncture 
  • Individual therapy
  • Group therapy
  • Massage therapy
  • Mindfulness meditation

But the meth detox center is only the first step. It helps you break the physical dependence on the drug. Typically, a stay there lasts about five to seven days. After you go through the modalities of the meth detox programs, you transition to rehab.

At Promises Behavioral Health, you will experience a seamless transition from your detox program to your rehab program. You’re ready to make a move from the meth detox center when you no longer wake up to withdrawal symptoms. Clinical care takes place at rehab. It helps you deal with the psychological addiction to meth.

What to Expect from a Meth Rehab Program

At rehab, you undergo a different set of customized treatments. Examples could include:

• • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical behavior treatment (DBT)
  • Motivational interviewing (MI)
  • Anger management therapy
  • Neurofeedback

Therapists work with you on managing post-acute withdrawal symptoms. They also help you understand what hooked you in the first place. Why did you use meth? For some people, there was an underlying depression. If this is true for you, you could benefit from dual diagnosis treatment after meth detox center graduation. Receiving treatment for a co-occurring mental health condition can also assist you with anxiety.
