Spokane Meth Addiction Treatment
Methamphetamine (meth) addiction can have devastating effects on a person’s brain, body, relationships, and more. It is a powerful and highly addictive stimulant that produces an intense rush of euphoria followed by a rapid crash. If use continues over time, tolerance develops, leading people to use more of the drug to achieve the same effect. This cycle of use followed by a crash can quickly spiral into addiction.
Rebuilt Treatment & Recovery offers a comprehensive Spokane meth addiction treatment program that helps clients break free from addiction and regain control of their lives. Our approach addresses the physical impact of meth use and the underlying emotional or mental health concerns that may contribute to it.
Understanding the Effects of Meth Addiction
Meth floods the brain with dopamine, producing a powerful high but also damaging the brain’s reward system. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter in our central nervous system that motivates us by creating feelings of pleasure. When we are healthy, dopamine motivates us to seek activities we enjoy, such as spending time with friends and family, or eating. Meth essentially hijacks our system and leads to a negative cycle of drug use.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), long-term meth use can lead to significant changes in brain structure and function, impacting memory, emotion, and decision-making. Common physical effects of meth use include:
- Increased heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature
- Tooth decay and tooth loss (“meth mouth”)
- Significant weight loss and malnutrition
- Skin sores from scratching or picking
- Increased risk of infectious diseases due to risky behaviors
Psychological and behavioral effects can include:
- Anxiety, paranoia, and hallucinations
- Aggressive or unpredictable behavior
- Insomnia and extreme mood swings
- Loss of interest in activities
- Cognitive impairments
Meth use also increases the risk of overdose, especially when combined with other substances. Overdose can result in a stroke, heart attack, or organ failure, and may be fatal without emergency medical intervention.
Comprehensive Meth Addiction Treatment in Spokane
We offer several programs to meet each individual wherever they are in their recovery. Our Spokane meth treatment programs include a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and an Outpatient Program (OP).
Our PHP offers intensive, structured care for individuals recovering from substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, such as anxiety, bipolar disorder, and trauma. PHPs can bridge the gap between inpatient and outpatient care for those looking for support in a highly structured environment but who do not need 24/7 care. Clients attend up to six hours of therapy, five days per week. Plans include individual counseling, group sessions, family therapy, and life skills training, and allow participants to return home each evening. Our PHP combines evidence-based therapies with real-world application, helping clients build healthy routines, strengthen coping skills, and maintain recovery while staying connected to their daily responsibilities.
Our IOP provides more flexibility than the PHP, yet still offers structured support. It is for those who want to continue treatment while still managing the daily responsibilities of life, such as work or family commitments. The IOP includes group therapy three to five days a week for three hours each session, plus biweekly individual counseling with a dedicated Substance Use Disorder Professional. Clients build coping skills, strengthen relapse prevention strategies, and receive peer support in a safe, encouraging environment. We also offer several other benefits, including case management, employment resources, and housing support, so that clients have the tools for long-term stability. By balancing intensive therapy with real-world application, our IOP helps clients maintain accountability, practice new skills, and move confidently toward a fulfilling life in recovery.
Our Spokane meth OP offers flexible, ongoing support for individuals transitioning from higher levels of care or seeking treatment while managing work, school, or family responsibilities. Most participants attend three-hour group therapy sessions one to two times per week, plus biweekly individual counseling, which allows them to stay engaged in recovery while maintaining daily routines. This schedule is the most cost-effective treatment option, and allows participants to access the care and support they need while limiting their financial commitment. Treatment includes evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), combined with holistic practices like mindfulness, stress management, and lifestyle coaching. Group sessions help people build peer connections, while individual counseling offers space to address personal challenges.
FAQs about Methamphetamine Addiction and Treatment
Meth has many names, including chalk, crystal, glass, ice, speed, and tina.
Methamphetamine withdrawal is typically not life-threatening, but it can be physically and emotionally challenging. When a person stops using meth after prolonged use, the brain struggles to rebalance dopamine levels, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, increased appetite, depression, anxiety, vivid dreams, and intense drug cravings. There are often two phases to meth withdrawal. The acute stage, which begins within 24 hours and lasts 7 to 10 days, occurs right after stopping meth and can bring the strongest withdrawal symptoms. The protracted stage can last for 2 to 3 weeks after the acute phase and will bring similar withdrawal symptoms, though they are usually less intense.
Meth is one of the most addictive illicit drugs, and dependence can develop rapidly, even after just a few uses. Meth floods the brain with dopamine, producing an intense euphoria that strongly reinforces drug-taking behavior. Over time, the brain reduces its natural dopamine production, leaving the user dependent on meth to feel pleasure or even basic motivation. As a result, early intervention is key, and seeking treatment as soon as possible can prevent the physical, mental, and social damage that prolonged meth use can cause. However, if you are not able to intervene early, recovery is still possible.
