Methamphetamine Detox at Banyan Treatment Centers

Methamphetamine is a stimulant drug that was initially developed in 1919 and used as a substitute for ephedrine. Today, abuse of methamphetamine has become a problem in different areas worldwide. Meth, also known as crystal meth, ice, glass, crank, and speed, is abused for the strong high it produces. This high is the result of a spike in dopamine levels in the brain, flooding the central nervous system and preventing the brain from recycling any leftover chemicals. Continuous use of crystal meth can quickly produce an addiction that’s difficult to quit without help. Meth is known for causing physical and psychological problems, including meth mouth and meth mites. Methamphetamine detox at Banyan Treatment Centers focuses on helping patients recover from the effects of this drug and begin living an addiction-free life.


How to Detox From Meth

Our nationwide drug and alcohol treatment center knows that many people fail to quit drugs and alcohol because of withdrawals. Methamphetamine is a highly addictive drug that causes an artificial spike in dopamine levels, making the user feel euphoric and happy. However, the side effects of meth are short-lived, causing users to continuously ingest more of it to maintain their high. Long-term methamphetamine abuse often leads to addiction, which is a progressive disease that requires in-depth treatment. We help patients at our facility detox from meth by slowly weaning them off of the drug. Sometimes cutting a person off completely can be more dangerous than reducing their dose over time. We do our best to ensure this process is as smooth, safe, and effective as possible.


Methamphetamine Detox Withdrawal Symptoms

During meth detox programs, patients often experience withdrawal symptoms that can be uncomfortable and painful. These symptoms are the result of the body’s reaction to a reduced dose of meth. As the body and mind slowly become accustomed to the lack of methamphetamine, these symptoms will mitigate. The timeline of meth withdrawal can vary depending on the severity of the person’s addiction. The longer someone has used meth, the more severe their withdrawal symptoms may be. This also depends on whether the person has used other substances, their health, age, weight, and more.


Some common crystal meth detox symptoms include:

  • Headaches
  • Fever and increased body temperature
  • Clammy and sweaty skin
  • Stomach pains
  • Tremors and shakes
  • Irregular heartbeat
  • Red and itchy eyes
  • Muscle pains or weakness
  • Fatigue and decreased energy
  • Fluctuations in appetite and weight
  • Difficulties speaking
  • Anxiety and paranoia
  • Irritability
  • Aggression
  • Depression
  • Intense methamphetamine cravings
