Methamphetamine is known to possess a high addiction and dependence liability. Heavy recreational use of methamphetamine may lead to a post-acute-withdrawal syndrome, which can persist for months beyond the typical withdrawal period. Risks of methamphetamine use include increased risks of contracting infectious diseases such as HIV and hepatitis B and C. Outside of the many health risks, methamphetamine use also impairs judgment and can lead to risky behaviors. For those who struggle with meth addiction, a drug rehab center in Florida is the best path to recovery.

What Makes Meth Addictive?
Methamphetamine is a stimulant drug usually in the form of a white powder. Crystal methamphetamine is a form of the drug that looks like crystals or bluish-white rocks. The drug is typically ingested by inhaling/smoking, swallowing it in pill form, snorting, or injecting it with a water-based solution.
In low to moderate doses, methamphetamine can elevate mood, increase alertness, concentration, and energy in fatigued individuals, reduce appetite, and promote weight loss. At relatively high doses, it can induce psychosis, breakdown of skeletal muscle, seizures, and bleeding in the brain. Chronic high-dose use can precipitate unpredictable and rapid mood swings, stimulant psychosis (e.g., paranoia, hallucinations, delirium, and delusions), and violent behavior. Methamphetamine, unlike amphetamine, is neurotoxic to the human brain and has been shown to damage serotonin neurons in the CNS. Although some of these brain changes may reverse after being off the drug for a year or more, other changes may not recover even after a long period of abstinence.
Our Meth Rehab Program
There are many meth rehab programs in Tampa, but Coalition Recovery has set the bar much higher than most others. For one thing, we don’t treat your recovery as if it’s one-size-fits-all. The treatments and resources that work for one person won’t always be optimal for everyone. For this reason, each of our patients receives a completely customized, individualized curriculum.
What’s more, an individualized treatment regimen addresses the multi-faceted needs of those suffering from meth addiction. For instance, finding the source of an individual’s substance-abuse problem is a huge part of recovery; whether it was exposure to drug use during one’s childhood, an undiagnosed mental or emotional disorder causing a need for dual-diagnosis treatment, trauma, or a plethora of other unresolved issues.
After meth detox, counseling and therapy are needed to effectively treat the substance use disorder. Addiction is a complicated disease that affects an individual both physically and psychologically. For this reason, a multi-step approach is necessary to fully treat the illness. These approaches involve a medical diagnosis (both physical and psychological), safe and non-addictive medications (if applicable), one-on-one counseling with a licensed therapist/psychologist, and finally, group counseling and therapy sessions. Behavioral therapies are the recommended techniques for the proper treatment of stimulant addiction.
Our Therapies
Some of the various therapies we will incorporate into your meth rehab program include:
- Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART): A type of therapy that uses eye movements and other forms of sensory input to help you process and heal from trauma.
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy: A therapy that helps you identify and change the thoughts and behaviors that are contributing to your addiction.
- Dialectical behavior therapy program: A therapy that uses mindfulness and other techniques to help you cope with difficult emotions.
- Amino acid therapy: A therapy that uses amino acids to help correct imbalances in the brain that may be contributing to your addiction.
- 12-step therapy: A therapy that uses the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous as a framework for recovery.
- Yoga therapy: A therapy that uses the practice of yoga to help you achieve physical, mental, and emotional balance.
- Nutrition and wellness education: A therapy that focuses on teaching you how to eat a healthy diet and live a healthy lifestyle.
- Recreation and outings around Tampa Bay: Helps you have fun and experience life in recovery.
- Relapse prevention therapy: A therapy that helps you identify your triggers for relapse and develop a plan to avoid them.
90-Day Treatment
We offer full and part-time meth treatment programs, and the cornerstone of our center is our 90-day treatment program. Those involved in our 90-day program will attend treatment throughout the week as well as the option of being housed in a recovery residence. In our experience, a three-month duration for treatment is the “magical amount.” It allows for a gradual step down in intensity to ensure the greatest opportunity for success.
During the first month, clients will learn about themselves and their addiction. It is over the latter two months where our clients begin to learn the knowledge and life skills needed to maintain sobriety and thrive in their new substance-free life.
