Best Meth Abuse & Addiction Treatment Center & Rehab

Learn more about meth addiction treatment at Sierra Tucson

Once an addiction to any type of substance has developed, a person’s life can rapidly fall out of their control, and addiction to methamphetamine is no different. More commonly referred to simply as meth, an addiction to this substance can reap colossal devastation on not only the user’s life, but on the lives of those around them as well. Meth provides users with an overwhelming sense of euphoria while prohibiting their brain’s ability to feel pain, eliciting a state of profound relaxation and bliss. Because of the pleasurable effects brought on by the use of this substance, individuals quickly find themselves addicted to the way that it makes them feel, resulting in their going to great lengths to refrain from coming down from those positive sensations. Despite the positive way that this drug makes people feel, however, the damage that it does to their minds and bodies are often irreparable. For this reason, it is imperative that those who have fallen into the grips of an addiction to meth receive treatment to overcome their devastating habit and prevent future detriments from occurring.

At Sierra Tucson, the best rehab center for meth abuse, we fully recognize how difficult and intimidating the journey to obtaining sobriety can seem, and so we have developed specialized treatment that strives to make the process one that is as comfortable as possible. By engaging in our comprehensive addiction treatment, individuals who are struggling with an addiction to meth can develop the skills needed to not only achieve sobriety, but to maintain life-long recovery.

Helping a loved one get treatment for meth addiction

Discovering that your family member or loved one is battling an addiction to meth can turn your world upside down. It can be difficult to come to terms with the fact that your loved one has become caught up in the vicious cycle of addiction and, while you want to help your loved one, you may not know where to start. Keep the following in mind:

• Educate yourself on methamphetamine. By learning about the symptoms that indicate that a person is abusing meth, while also becoming educated on the long-term effects that this substance can have on a person’s health, it will assist you in gaining a sense of confidence when confronting your loved one with your concerns.
• Gain an understanding about the disease of addiction. It is easy to become angry and frustrated with someone who has become entrapped in the cycle of drug use because, as a non-drug user, it is hard to understand why someone would be willing to put their life and well-being at risk. By coming to understand that addiction is a disease, it can aid in helping you develop a sense of empathy towards what your loved one is fighting against.
• Confront your loved one with your concerns. If possible, enlist other people in your loved one’s life who can support you and assist in encouraging your loved one to get treatment. Anticipate denial and/or defensiveness. This is a normal reaction to confrontation and is important that you do not allow it to deter you from continuing your encouragement.
• Research various treatment options that specialize in addressing chemical dependency concerns and share your findings with your loved one.
• Do not take it upon yourself to throw away any substances that you may find in your loved one’s possession. While this may seem like an easy solution, in reality, it will only anger your loved one and potentially cause resistance toward their willingness to engage in treatment.
• Once your loved one has begun participating in treatment, be an active part of their therapeutic process. The involvement of family members and loved ones are paramount in ensuring successful treatment outcomes.
• Be patient. The road to recovery can be a long one, and it is important that you do not give up hope.

Why consider treatment for meth addiction at Sierra Tucson

The chronic use of methamphetamine can render individuals susceptible to experiencing any number of detrimental physical and psychological consequences. Even after one use, meth will begin to elicit changes in an individual’s temperament, personality, and physical appearance, along with initiating changes in one’s overall physical and mental health. People who abuse meth are making themselves vulnerable to experiencing negative health complications like the weakening of their immune system, damage to their vital organs, irreversible cognitive impairment, and contraction of viruses like HIV/AIDS or hepatitis. Psychologically, individuals who abuse meth are apt to experience the onset of things such as depression, anxiety, paranoia, and, in some cases, psychosis. Furthermore, the presence of a meth addiction can hinder a person’s ability to perform at the expected level occupationally, resulting in job loss and consistent unemployment. This can lead to further distress as financial problems arise. Additionally, meth addictions often cause people to be incapable of adhering to typical, everyday responsibilities and tasks, leading to familial strife and marital discord. The most devastating consequence of chronic meth use, however, is the potential for overdosing. And, sadly, many methamphetamine overdoses end in fatalities. Fortunately, when appropriate treatment is sought and implemented, individuals can overcome their addiction to this deadly substance and these distressing consequences can be successfully avoided.

Using a biopsychosocial and spiritual approach to care, residents engaged in the Addictions and Co-Occurring Disorder program can partake in the following treatment methods, of which are outlined in each resident’s individualized treatment plan, as well as in our rehab’s daily treatment schedules:

Medication management: When individuals are struggling with the presence of a co-occurring disorder in addition to their addiction to methamphetamine, the implementation of psychotropic medications may be incorporated into their overall plan of care at our treatment center. The need for such medications, however, is always determined on a case-by-case basis. Residents who are engaged in the Addictions and Co-Occurring Disorder treatment plan will have the opportunity to meet with either a psychiatrist or qualified physician at a minimum of once per week so that any medications that have been prescribed can be monitored for therapeutic effectiveness and any necessary changes can be made.

Individual therapy: Master’s level clinicians and/or licensed psychologists at our rehab offer individual therapy sessions with residents several times per week depending on the treatment modality that is being used. All residents are guaranteed, however, that a minimum of one individual session will take place each week. Each resident’s therapist will be assigned to them depending on the identified presenting concerns, the therapeutic approach that will be used in order to effectively address those concerns, and the specific training that the therapist possesses. These sessions occur in a confidential, one-to-one setting where the resident is afforded the opportunity to discuss their progress in treatment, address any concerns that may arise, and process various feelings they are experiencing.

Group therapy: At the time that residents are admitted into the Addictions and Co-Occurring Disorder treatment plan at our meth addiction rehab center, they are assigned to a small group of peers, of whom are engaged in the same treatment.

• Relapse prevention
• Healing anxiety

Once a resident engages in services to treat an addiction to methamphetamine and co-occurring concerns at our meth abuse rehab, a comprehensive continued care plan is devised so that they can remain successful once treatment is complete. Those partaking in the services must meet with continued care staff to assess each individual’s needs and plan for discharge. Those engaged in the residential treatment at our rehab center meet with the same continued care staff and regional outreach specialists and partake in lectures and one-on-one planning sessions to ensure quality referrals and to establish any follow-up appointments that may be required once they have been discharged.

Furthermore, residents exiting the residential treatment, along with their family members, can benefit from The Connections Program. This treatment plan includes 12-month-long case management services that are in place to offer ongoing and substantial support to former residents. A representative from this plan contacts residents 48 hours after they are discharged and is available to assist these individuals in seeking and receiving the additional services they need in order to remain successful in the process of healing and recovery.
