METHAMPHETAMINE DETOX

Methamphetamine Use
Many meth users often find they cannot function without their drug of choice. Their craving to use is greater than their desire to manage their health, finances and relationships. Meth addicts suffer unusually high levels of tooth decay directly attributable to methamphetamine’s acidity and bruism, a side effect of meth use which causes the user to grind their teeth. Overall personal hygiene is compromised during any addiction but with meth users dental hygiene is particularly bad.

Methamphetamine Detox
Methamphetamine detoxification is sometimes the most difficult detox and sometimes it is the easiest detox.

Difficult Meth Detox

When a methamphetamine addict arrives at Orange County Meth Detox we make a quick assessment to see if they are having difficulty discerning what is going on. Often times if a meth user has been up for days on end they may be hallucinating and experiencing extreme paranoia. This is the definition of a difficult meth detox.

Easy Meth Detox

When a client arrives after methamphetamine withdrawal has began then the process is much improved. The first treatment is rehydration due to the fact that methamphetamine causes extreme dehydration. We use a series of vitamins and dietary processes to help the client regain a nutrient stable state. The half-life for methamphetamine is longer than most illicit narcotics and that means that the emotional vagaries that most clients experience are delayed for meth users. The most dangerous meth detox time for a meth addict is around day 7. The last molecule is leaving the body and the brain sets off many signals to re-up the supply of methamphetamine. This is usually followed by heightened anxiety and bursts of anger. This is the most dangerous time for a meth addict because their fight and flight mechanism has been activated.

Conclusion

We use every available means at our disposal to ensure that our clients successfully complete meth detox. It is our belief that meth detox is the first step in recovery and should be followed up with a residential meth treatment program for an extended period of time.
