Los Angeles Meth Rehab Center
Meth is a drug that has gained awareness in the public eye through popular television shows and movies. While these shows are written to entertain, they can provide insight into the challenges that are experienced when struggling with a drug addiction, including a meth addiction.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse reported that 1.6 million individuals were living with a meth addiction in 2021, and approximately 32,000 died from an overdose that was primarily meth. Additionally, the prevalence of meth use among teens and young adults is notable, with approximately 0.5% of 12th graders using meth within the past year.
Increased awareness of drug addiction and the challenges that it brings helps us work to decrease the negative stigma that it can come with. With a reduction in stigma, individuals may find themselves more likely to reach out when they are struggling.
Meth Rehab
What Is Methamphetamine?
Methamphetamine, commonly referred to as meth, is a synthetic stimulant drug with a high risk of physical and psychological dependence. Meth is typically developed outside the United States and smuggled in illegally. The process of cooking meth is dangerous when the chemicals are mixed incorrectly.
When meth is smoked, the user will experience a longer-lasting high when compared to other commonly abused stimulant drugs.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse reported that meth has limited medical use for health conditions including ADHD, narcolepsy, and weight loss.

Meth Addiction Treatment
What Does Meth Do to Our Bodies?
When meth is taken, it creates a surge of the natural chemical in our brain called dopamine along with norepinephrine. This has a euphoric effect that can also increase your energy, make you feel invincible, and have other psychoactive effects.
Meth is made with toxic chemicals, including antifreeze and battery acid, which can harm your physical health.
Meth rehab programming is available in LA at Wellness Detox. Our drug rehab will help you develop the knowledge and skills needed for early recovery.

Since IOP programming does not last for a full day, it can easily accommodate your work, school, and other scheduled responsibilities.

This form of outpatient treatment is commonly used for the first year of recovery, which provides you with peace of mind, knowing that you have somewhere to come with your challenges and successes.
