Addiction Treatment Programs

Our residential rehab for meth addiction

We offer our detox and rehab programs in a home-like treatment facility to provide the time and space you need to build a solid foundation in sobriety.

Residential rehab

We provide residential rehab for meth addiction at our centers in the Los Angeles, CA area. Following meth detox, our residential program offers a structured and supportive environment with round-the-clock care to guide you through early recovery.

You’ll have access to a range of therapeutic approaches, connect with others on their recovery journey, enhance your mind-body connection through holistic therapy, and work with case managers to address the underlying causes of meth abuse. This all-encompassing approach is designed to set you up for lasting success after completing our program.

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.

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.

Signs and symptoms of meth addiction

Meth addiction manifests in a variety of physical, psychological, and behavioral symptoms. Common signs include:  

  • Loss of Control: Inability to stop using meth despite harmful consequences. 
  • Increased Tolerance: Needing larger amounts of meth to feel the desired effects.  
  • Weight Loss: Significant, rapid weight loss due to appetite suppression.  
  • Dental Problems (“Meth Mouth”): Severe tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental issues manifest during meth use due to the reduction of saliva production and acidity of the drug itself.  
  • Psychological Changes: Anxiety, paranoia, hallucinations, and mood swings.  
  • Risk-taking Behavior: Engaging in dangerous activities, such as driving while impaired or committing crimes to obtain meth.  
  • Social Isolation: Withdrawing from family, friends, and responsibilities.  
  • Cravings: Persistent desire to use meth even after stopping. 
  • Meth Overdose: Using too much meth can lead to severe psychological and physical symptoms including delusion, cardiac arrest, and seizures. 

If you notice any of these meth addiction symptoms in yourself or a loved one, it is important to seek help immediately.

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.
