Meth stimulates the nervous system to increase wakefulness and physical activity, making people seem more restless, energetic, and talkative. Meth also reduces appetite and increases breathing rate, heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature.<\/p>\n
Other signs of meth abuse:<\/p>\n
People who use meth regularly can become tolerant to the drug and thus begin using higher amounts to feel its effects. Meth tolerance can quickly lead to meth dependence, which is marked by withdrawal symptoms that begin when meth use is stopped or reduced. Meth dependence increases the risk for meth addiction, which can be safely treated at drug or alcohol rehab using drug detox and\u00a0behavioral therapies<\/a>.<\/p>\n Common signs of meth addiction include the following:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Meth stimulates the nervous system to increase wakefulness and physical activity, making people seem more restless, energetic, and talkative.

Meth is sometimes used in a \u201cbinge and crash\u201d pattern, where meth users get high every few hours for several days to maintain their highs. They may go several days without enough food or water to stay nourished and face the risk of serious health problems as a result.<\/p>\n Side effects of meth use include:<\/p>\n Using too much meth or meth mixed with other substances like fentanyl can cause a toxic reaction that leads to an overdose. A meth overdose can increase your risk for serious medical and health problems, including heart attack, stroke, organ failure, and death.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Withdrawing from meth usually doesn\u2019t produce physical symptoms like those produced by alcohol, heroin, and painkillers. Meth withdrawal symptoms are mostly psychological and can set in shortly after stopping meth use.<\/p>\n Meth withdrawal symptoms include:<\/p>\n Meth withdrawal can be safely treated at a drug or alcohol detox center, though in most cases,\u00a0detox treatment<\/a>\u00a0involves the use of medications for certain psychological symptoms like anxiety and depression. At present, there are no FDA-approved medications that specifically treat meth addiction.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n When left untreated, meth addiction can cause major problems with your career, education, family, health, and overall life and happiness. However, meth addiction can be effectively treated using behavioral therapies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational incentives. Specifically, CBT helps you identify, avoid, and cope with situations that could lead to meth use, while motivational incentives encourage you to remain abstinent through the use of vouchers and rewards. Dual diagnosis therapy may also be used to help you overcome lingering withdrawal symptoms of depression and anxiety.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#0c71c3″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font_size=”20px” text_orientation=”center” background_layout=”dark” custom_padding=”|5%||5%” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n America\u2019s Rehab Campuses use medical detox and many evidence-based therapies that can be personalized to help you or a loved one safely overcome stimulant addiction.\u00a0Fill out our insurance verification form<\/a>\u00a0today or call 833-272-7342<\/a> to learn more about your benefits and deductibles for addiction treatment.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Meth AbuseMethamphetamine is an illicit stimulant that comes in the form of powder, pills, and rock crystals known as crystal meth.
