Understanding Meth Addiction Treatment

Methamphetamine use has surged across the United States, with overdose deaths involving stimulants increasing 34-fold from 2011 to 2023. Unlike opioid use disorder, there are currently no FDA-approved medications for meth addiction, making behavioral therapy the cornerstone of treatment.

The Matrix Model — a 16-week intensive outpatient protocol combining CBT, family education, 12-step support, drug testing, and contingency management — has the strongest evidence base for stimulant use disorders. Inpatient programs are recommended for severe cases or when outpatient attempts have failed.

Why Meth Requires Longer Treatment

Chronic methamphetamine use causes significant neurotoxicity — particularly to dopamine systems governing motivation, pleasure, and cognitive function. Neuroimaging studies show these changes take 12-18 months to substantially reverse. This biological reality means 28-day programs are often insufficient; 60-90 day residential stays with extended outpatient aftercare produce the best outcomes.

Meth Rehab: Common Questions

Currently, there are no FDA-approved medications specifically for methamphetamine use disorder. However, clinical trials are investigating several candidates including naltrexone/bupropion combinations. The primary treatment approach is behavioral therapy — specifically the Matrix Model and contingency management, both of which have strong evidence bases.

Meth rehab typically requires longer treatment durations than many other substances. Inpatient stays of 60-90 days are recommended over 28-day programs due to the prolonged neurological recovery from chronic stimulant use. Cognitive function, motivation, and emotional regulation can take months to normalize.

Meth withdrawal is primarily psychological rather than physically dangerous (unlike alcohol/opioid withdrawal). Symptoms include severe fatigue, depression, anxiety, psychomotor slowing, increased appetite, and intense cravings. The depression and anhedonia phase can persist for weeks to months, making relapse risk particularly high.
