Meth Addiction Treatment Center in Los Angeles

Comprehensive Support at New Spirit Recovery

Methamphetamine, commonly referred to as meth, is a powerful and highly addictive stimulant that affects the central nervous system. Recognizing the signs of meth dependency is crucial for seeking timely help.

Common signs of meth addiction include:

• Increased alertness and physical activity
• Decreased appetite
• Rapid mood swings
• Erratic sleep patterns
• Extreme weight loss
• Dental problems, often referred to as "meth mouth"
• Sores and skin infections from scratching

Long-term effects of meth abuse can be severe and include heart disease, memory loss, aggressive behavior, and severe dental problems. It's important to address these issues promptly with professional help.

Withdrawal Symptoms of Meth Addiction

Methamphetamine withdrawal can be intense, both physically and mentally. The symptoms of withdrawal stem from the way meth affects the brain's dopamine system. After prolonged use, the body struggles to adjust when the drug is no longer present, leading to a range of uncomfortable symptoms. These typically begin within a few hours or days of stopping meth use and can last for weeks or even months, depending on the severity of the addiction.

Common meth withdrawal symptoms include:

• Fatigue and exhaustion
• Intense cravings for meth
• Depression
• Increased Appetite
• Anxiety and irritability
• Sleep disturbances
• Paranoia and hallucinations
• Anhedonia (inability to feel pleasure)
• Slowed movements and reactions
• Cognitive impairment

Here is a breakdown of the duration of withdrawal symptoms:

• Initial Crash (1-3 days): Intense fatigue, sleep, and depression.
• Acute Withdrawal (up to 2 weeks): Strong cravings, depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances.
• Prolonged Symptoms (weeks to months): Persistent cravings, mood swings, anhedonia, and cognitive issues.
