What Is Methampehtamine?

Methamphetamine is a potent central nervous system stimulant that is similar to amphetamine. It is typically a white, bitter-tasting powder that dissolves easily in water or alcohol. Meth can be smoked, snorted, injected, or taken orally.

The effects of methamphetamine can last 6-8 hours and include increased wakefulness, improved physical activity, decreased appetite, and a sense of euphoria. Methamphetamine also increases respiration, heart rate, and blood pressure.

The long-term effects of methamphetamine include damage to the brain, liver, and kidneys. Methamphetamine use can also lead to psychotic symptoms, such as paranoia, delusions, and hallucinations.

What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Methamphetamine Use?

The signs and symptoms of methamphetamine use can vary depending on the individual. However, there are some common signs and symptoms that may be present in someone who is using meth, which include:

  • Euphoria or a sense of well-being
  • Increased alertness and energy
  • Decreased appetite
  • Weight loss
  • Insomnia
  • Anxiety
  • Paranoia
  • Aggressive or violent behavior
  • Auditory and visual hallucinations
  • Methamphetamine use can also lead to psychotic symptoms, such as delusions

The Meth Addiction Treatment Program at Northpoint Nebraska

Northpoint Nebraska provides patients with a range of substance abuse treatment options. Our inpatient programs offer safe, inclusive support. We tailor treatment to each patient’s unique needs with one-on-one care, virtual options, and medical intervention.

At Northpoint Nebraska, we are aware that Nebraska has seen an increase in methamphetamine use in the last several years. Because meth is easy to make, easy to get, and relatively inexpensive, it’s increasingly common.

Unfortunately, it is also highly addictive and accounts for many drug overdoses daily in the US. Our meth treatment programs help patients safely detox and understand their addiction triggers through compassionate care and psychiatric support.

Evidence-Based Treatment Therapies for Methamphetamines in Nebraska

We use a range of proven, effective therapies in our meth abuse program at Northpoint Nebraska.

These therapies include:

  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is designed to help patients identify and change the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to their drug use.
  • Family therapy is designed to help patients repair and rebuild relationships that may have been damaged by their addiction.
  • Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is a harm reduction approach that uses FDA-approved medications combined with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders. MAT is an effective treatment for methamphetamine addiction because it can help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms while patients are in treatment.
