Methamphetamine, also known as meth, is a growing public health crisis in both urban and rural settings. Meth is classified as a stimulant, but it is highly addictive and destructive to both physical, mental, social, and emotional well-being. Overcoming meth’s hold on your life entails detoxification, therapy, and support. Perhaps more than any other addictive substance, the public has come to view meth as synonymous with physical decline among its users; for most, the professional meth addiction treatment offers the best hope of breaking the cycle of addiction and finding recovery.

Meth Addiction Treatment Program
Meth use results in severe physical, psychological, and behavioral side effects. Meth addiction wreaks havoc on people’s lives and in many ways and leaves someone struggling with addiction unrecognizable compared to who they used to be. Breaking free of a meth addiction almost always requires professional addiction treatment.
The Arbor offers both residential and outpatient rehab programs. In cases of meth addiction, the safest option that will more likely lead to long-term success is residential treatment. That is because residential treatment provides wraparound care and supervision for weeks or even months at a time. People struggling with meth addiction often need to be separated from the triggers, distractions, and drug access they would have to contend with if they sought treatment in an outpatient setting.
Outpatient treatment may follow an initial period of residential treatment, as all levels of care work together to form the continuum of care. Stepping down from a residential program to some form of outpatient treatment is not uncommon. The Arbor offers:
- Intensive outpatient program (IOP)
- Sober living program
- Gender-specific treatment programs
- Alumni program
Don’t hesitate to contact The Arbor and discuss the best treatment options for you or a loved one.
The Arbor’s Meth Rehab Center
The Arbor’s meth addiction treatment program leans on therapy in the context of a holistically supportive environment that takes care of the mind, body, and soul. As is the case with other addictions, The Arbor’s meth rehab program begins by guiding clients through medically-supervised detoxification. This is a process of weaning a person’s body away from physical dependence on meth. Following detox is a period of ongoing therapy and support.
Three therapies are core to meth addiction treatment:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) – CBT is founded on the psychological concept that the learning process is central to addictive behavior. Meth use adversely changes brain chemistry, causing the mind to prioritize the addiction’s maintenance, but therapy can help reverse these harmful patterns. With this concept in mind, CBT focuses on altering the underlying patterns of thinking and behavior to create healthier habits and lead people away from their addictions.
- The Matrix Model – The Matrix Model is a long-term, comprehensive therapy plan composed of multiple distinct pieces. These often include behavioral therapies, individual counseling, family support and education, regularly scheduled drug tests, group counseling, 12-step program facilitation, and a sober activities plan. Implementing a Matrix Model, which is often designed to extend for at least sixteen weeks, if not longer, is meant to holistically support a person in dealing with their addiction.
- Contingency management – Lastly, contingency management is a therapy predicated on motivation and rewards. Therapists use an incentive system with clients that supports their acceptance of treatment and willingness to remain sober.
Ultimately, each person’s treatment plan is customized to their needs, and the right combination of evidence-based therapies and holistic approaches will be tailored to their needs and goals.
Discover Meth Addiction Treatment at The Arbor
The success of a meth rehab program lies in overcoming the highly addictive nature of meth. Its addictiveness and the changes it makes to one’s brain and body chemistry are the most significant barriers to successful recovery. This is in part due to the intense high that users experience when taking meth. Meth’s intensity also means many people who struggle with meth addiction may not seek out treatment on their own. Family support and awareness become critical to getting people with a meth use disorder and co-occurring mental health conditions connected to adequate treatment.
The Arbor’s meth rehab program is designed to help you or a loved one break the cycle of meth addiction. Our compassionate and experienced addiction treatment professionals can help guide you toward recovery through evidence-based therapies, holistic approaches, and robust support.
