Treatment for Three Decades and Counting

If you or a loved one is experiencing addiction, we’re here to help.

If you use Crystal meth, you will likely experience unique psychological effects from the drug. Meth users feel a powerful rush as dopamine floods the brain. Dopamine regulates the feelings of pleasure in the body. As a result, many meth users feel confident and energetic after meth use.

Despite the initial positive feelings of drug use, there are many negative side effects of meth. Some of these negative health consequences include:

  • Violent behavior
  • Anxiety
  • Confusion
  • Paranoia
  • Hallucinations1

Michael’s House offers private crystal meth rehab services that include crystal meth detox, therapy, addiction treatment and holistic services. Please call us today for more information.

Meth and Pre-existing Psychological Disorders

Man in pain closeupIf you struggle with depression and/or eating disorders, it is common to choose crystal meth as a way to self-medicate. Crystal meth is a stimulant,so it gives users an energy boost. If you find it difficult to get out of bed in the morning,this drug may appear to give you the energy to complete a project. An individual with an eating disorder may abuse crystal meth to boost their metabolism; in most cases, crystal meth addicts are underweight.

If an individual has any pre-existing psychological disorder, often she does not know the mental issue exists. For this reason, it is a great idea to choose a private crystal meth rehab that offers psychological treatment. This kind of care ensures that the underlying issue is treated as well as for crystal meth addiction.

Meth and Anxiety Disorders

The stimulating properties of crystal meth often induce anxiety and mood disorders in crystal meth addicts. Paranoia, schizophrenic behavior, and severe anxiety are not uncommon acute side effects while under the influence of the drug. For those who abuse crystal meth addictively, these issues can turn into long-term problems and, when that occurs, finding a private crystal meth rehab that provides dual diagnosis treatment is crucial to your recovery.

Private Rehab That Treats the Whole Person

If you believe you need dual diagnosis treatment, please make sure that the drug rehab center you choose has the right provisions to treat you effectively. Here are a few questions to ask:

  • Is there a psychiatrist on staff? Make sure the treatment center has a credentialed psychiatrist on hand as well as therapists and counselors ready to treat you.
  • Is every patient assessed for psychiatric disorders? This question is very important if you do not have an official diagnosis or if you believe you believe psychological issues developed after using crystal meth. It is important that the private crystal meth rehab be equipped to assess you and make a definitive diagnosis as to your psychological state.
  • Do you prescribe medication for psychological disorders if it is needed? Medication is a big part of psychological treatment for anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and depression. For this reason, it is important that your private crystal meth rehab can prescribe what you need.
