Detox from meth safely
If you or a loved one are struggling with meth addiction and experience withdrawal symptoms, it’s crucial to seek professional help. Withdrawal from meth can lead to intense physical and psychological symptoms, and attempting to quit without support can be dangerous.
In our detoxification program, our clinicians will provide medication and care to help manage meth withdrawal symptoms safely. Detoxing from meth in a comfortable, monitored environment is an essential step to build a strong foundation for your recovery.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) & Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
When you don’t require residential care, or are transitioning from it, or are looking for a more elevated level of care than a weekly therapy session, our PHP and IOP programs offer structured support while allowing you to maintain certain aspects of your daily routine.
Both programs include one-on-one and group therapy sessions with medication management where needed, case management sessions on an individual and group level, and our holistic therapy. Our outpatient treatment programs allow a more flexible schedule to live at home while attending the program during the day or evening and provides a community of mentors, relapse prevention education, personalized assessments, and holistic healing methods, and our PHP and IOP treatments ensure sustainable mind-body wellness.
PHP Includes:
90 days of treatment | 5 days per week | 6 hours per day
Monday through Friday
IOP Includes:
6-8 weeks of treatment | 3 days a week | 3 hours per day
This option works with your schedule, Monday through Friday
What to expect with our PHP and IOP programs
Depending on the level of care that best suits your needs, you may begin with our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and transition to the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), or begin directly at the IOP level.
Wherever your journey begins, after completing your treatment, you’ll become part of our supportive alumni community, offering encouragement and inspiration to others on their path to wellness. Our programs are carefully designed to include individual and group therapy, comprehensive case management, holistic treatments, and medication management. This integrated approach ensures a treatment plan that promotes healing at every stage. These programs include:
Individual therapy
Weekly sessions with a therapist to help you explore the underlying causes of your condition, identify your triggers, and develop coping strategies to last a lifetime.

If necessary, our clinicians will prescribe and monitor medications to manage your condition symptoms and support wellbeing.

What is meth addiction?
Methamphetamine is a potent stimulant and highly addictive drug that affects the central nervous system, causing intense feelings of euphoria and energy. Developed in the early 20th century, it was once used for medical purposes but became widely abused due to its addictive properties. Meth addiction or methamphetamine use disorder is a complex condition that impacts both the body and the mind, leading to a variety of severe health issues.
Physiologically, crystal meth increases dopamine levels in the brain, leading to overwhelming feelings of pleasure. As the brain becomes reliant on the drug, tolerance builds, and the user needs larger doses to achieve the same euphoric effect. This cycle can lead to dangerous health issues, such as rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, extreme weight loss, and serious dental problems, often referred to as “meth mouth.” Long-term meth use can result in irreversible damage to the cardiovascular system, the brain, and overall mental and physical health.
Psychologically, meth addiction can lead to severe mental health issues such as paranoia, anxiety, hallucinations, and violent behavior. Chronic use can lead to meth-induced psychosis, where the individual may experience delusions and erratic behavior. Withdrawal symptoms can persist long after the drug is out of the system, including depression, fatigue, and intense cravings, making recovery particularly challenging.

How to treat meth addiction
At Clear Behavioral Health, we offer a range of treatment options to address your specific needs of struggling with substance abuse and crystal methamphetamine addiction. The treatment process begins with a comprehensive detoxification program, where you will receive 24/7 monitoring in a comfortable, home-like environment. Our clinical team will ensure that you safely withdraw from meth while managing any physical or psychological meth withdrawal symptoms that arise.
After detoxification, you will transition into residential treatment. Our drug and alcohol rehab program provides continued support that is vital in early recovery. You will be paired with a therapist and a case manager who will be with you every step of the way during your stay. This level of care gives you more access to therapy and is intended to help you establish a solid foundation in sobriety.
The next level of care we offer is outpatient treatment in the form of our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) or Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), which includes both individual and group therapy. These programs provide ongoing support and help you develop coping mechanisms, relapse prevention skills, and the tools to maintain long-term sobriety. We also offer holistic therapies such as yoga, breathwork, and mindfulness to address the mind-body connection, and medication management for those who need it.
