Methamphetamine addiction treatment rehab

Posted by Addiction Counselor in Untagged 

I had to seek methamphetamine treatment about ten years ago and knew nothing about drug addiction rehab, what it was about or what to expect. I had friends who had gone into methamphetamine treatment and for other drugs and came out with prescription to numerous other drugs and seemed to be in worse shape than when he went. My ex-wife who was at the time a full blown meth addict, entered into a dual-diagnosis methamphetamine addiction treatment rehab only to come out, still addicted to meth only now she had a bi-polar label and several prescriptions. I found this hard to believe and could not think with how someone who was heavily addicted to drugs could be diagnosed with any kind of mental disorder until the drug problem was handled. 

Methamphetamine treatment requires long term treatment centers that can focus on the physical damage done and then help the person handle underlying mental emotional issues. Methamphetamine treatment can be successful; I know I did it ten years ago and have never looked back. Since I have attained complete and permanent addiction rehabilitation, I have spoken to well over 130,000 people in six states about what drugs do and how people become addicted. I know what it takes to get off drugs and am so glad there were options out there other than the traditional thirty day programs.

When I went into methamphetamine treatment I really didn’t think there was anything out there that would work. I did a bio-physical/social education model drug rehab program in Oklahoma because it had a sauna purification program that really made a lot of sense to me. I mean physically I was in bad shape; sores all over my face, skin looked terrible, luckily I had maintained all of my teeth, although I did need some extensive dental work. 

Before I went to the drug rehab program I was talking to a friend of mine, also a meth addict who had gone into a cocaine addiction rehab some years before unbeknownst to me, and told me “he could recite those twelve steps by heart” more times than I care to remember. So when my sister did find a program that wasn’t twelve steps based and did not focus on prescribing more drugs it really made sense to me.

I would always think about my ex-wife and friends who when looking for methamphetamine treatment really did not have much of a choice when it came to drug addiction rehab. I mean people that need methamphetamine addiction treatment rehab should realize its not just that easy. There are numerous factors in dealing with methamphetamine addiction. 

For methamphetamine treatment to work you should look for treatment centers that focus on the physical side first and then help the person get the self respect back. Methamphetamine treatment is not just about getting off the drugs; it’s about basically removing all the possible triggers that would cause a person to fail at addiction rehabilitation. 

Methamphetamine treatment should have a nutritional therapy and complete body detoxification that rids the body of all the toxins and restores the nutritional deficiencies to give a better physical foundation to stand on. Not like when my friend went to his so called cocaine addiction rehab. If you need advice on finding methamphetamine treatment let me know I can help you by explaining addiction to you and what works best.

Addiction Rehab- What's the difference?

Posted by Addiction Counselor in Untagged 

Addiction Rehabs vary in type, methodology, cost and location; length of stay depends on the length of use, type of addiction and what rehab is needed. During the tumultuous and conflicting time any addiction brings investigating and assessing the correct facility is exhausting. When looking at a rehab, those needing addiction rehab are confused and emotionally drained therefore are hesitant because they feel they cannot make a logical decision when choosing the correct addiction rehab. That’s where addiction watch counselors can help guide you through this and find help for you or your loved one.
