It has been well documented that
crystal meth
addiction
has quickly become one of the most prevalent and destructive drugs now
on the streets. Causing many addicts to stay up for days at a time and
ignore their body’s need for sleep crystal meth can literally “fry” an
addict’s brain, leading to permanent brain damage. Despite the physical
toll that crystal meth takes on the body many addicts are in denial when
it comes to their dependence upon the drug, seeing it instead as an aid
to becoming more productive or alert.
As the abuse of crystal meth continues addicts find themselves needing
more of the drug and when they can’t secure the substance they sink into
sever episodes of depression, suffer from dramatic mood swings, and can
often pose a physical threat to not only themselves but to anyone
around them. Within a short period of time a meth addict can abandon
everything that they once held dear and find themselves in the grips of
an addiction they can’t break on their own.
This is why many rehab centers are creating
meth treatment
programs
that are designed specifically to address the issues of the drug. Like
many other drug treatment programs the most effective
drug rehab for
speed
is in an intimate residential drug rehab program like the one offered
by Sunrise Recovery in Riverside, California.
Treatment for meth addiction can begin with a carefully monitored detox
process that can be provided by Sober Living by the Sea, the parent
facility of Sunrise Recovery. This meth detox process could take up to
thirty days as the absence of the drug can often lead to anger and
severe depression, feelings that must be addressed before recovery can
start.
Following their detox a meth addict will then take part in a
comprehensive recovery program that implements cognitive behavioral
therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and rational emotive behavioral
therapies to break through and the patient overcome their meth
addiction. Patients will also take part in a non-stop slate of
workshops, lectures, group therapy, and activities - including physical
fitness, spiritual, esteem building, and outside 12-step meetings, all
of which will help the individual start to enjoy life again free of
meth.
As the program of recovery is introduced each patient will also be given
the necessary tools that are needed to maintain sobriety outside the
treatment center. The professional staff at Sunrise, many of which are
active participants in recovery, have extensive experience in treating
meth addicts and can help them identify triggers that could lead to a
relapse as well as introducing new behaviors that can help an addict
overcome their urge to use.
Freedom from meth addiction can be realized and a happy and rewarding
life waits for those who have said they have had enough and commit to
the recovery process. Sunrise Recovery gives men who have made that
commitment a renewed lease on life, if you or somebody you know is
battling drug or alcohol addiction there will never be a better time
than right now to reach out for help.
Sunrise Recovery is part of the
Sober Living by the Sea network of rehab centers, which has been
effectively treating addiction and alcoholism for over 20 years.
Sunrise Recovery was created to provide a closely monitored and highly
structured primary addiction treatment program for men in a closed and
spiritual natural environment.
