Meth Detox

Getting Treatment for a Meth Addiction

As mentioned above, our in-home care specialists customize each aspect of our stabilization plans for each client. That being said, we prioritize the following for all clients:

After the individual has successfully completed the detox process at home, they will need to be admitted to a residential treatment program for a minimum of one month, although longer is preferred. Detox only clears the system of the toxins and chemicals associated with methamphetamine, but the addictive behavior patterns remain. The rehab program will provide a comprehensive treatment plan that helps individuals seeking recovery to reshape their maladaptive thoughts and behaviors toward positive ones.

Is Meth Detox at Home Safe?

When wondering how to detox from ice at home, it is imperative to understand that this should never be attempted without medical supervision. Meth detox is often accompanied by emotional and psychological withdrawal symptoms, sometimes leading to self-harm or suicide attempts.

In most cases, withdrawing from meth is not life-threatening, however, there are a handful of potentially dangerous side effects individuals may experience during meth withdrawal. The symptoms may include:

• Depression and anxiety
• Stimulant-induced psychosis
• Changes to various brain structures

A private medical provider who is trained in detox and addiction treatment can accompany the individual through the detox process at home. This is a valuable option, as remaining home for the duration of the detox period can be far less stressful than a detox facility. Some desire a home detox for privacy concerns, while others want their family members close by. These advantages make an in-home detox a desirable avenue to consider when deciding to confront meth addiction and begin recovery.
