Methamphetamine and Crystal Meth Addiction

There are many articles in national media, like the New York Times, CNN, and Fox News, about Alcohol addiction, Opioid addction, and the most effective treatment for these Substance Use Disorders.  However, often overlooked is the effect of Methamphetamine and Crystal Meth addiction on society.  Meth addition is a serious global health issue with significant medical, legal, social, and mental health ramifications.  The treatment professionals at Water Gap Wellness strongly support evidence-based treatments because clinical trials have shown that medically assisted treatment for Meth Addiction has shown great promise, including through the use of aripiprazole, gabapentin, ondansetron, and other agents.  These medicines are dopamine partial agonists, GAGAergic agents, and serotonergic compounds.

Comprehensive treatment is required to treat addiction to Methamphetamine and Crystal Meth.  Addiction to Methamphetamines can be performed as inpatient treatment or increasingly as outpatient treatment.  Most important is that treatment is complemented by a supportive environment with experienced and professional care and behavioral modification techniques employed, including the use of group therapy, individual counseling sessions, and treatment modalities like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Treatment), DBT (Dialectic Behavioral Treatment, and experiential and exposure therapy sessions.
