Meth, also known as crystal meth, ice, or crystal, is a highly potent central nervous system stimulant. It is commonly found in pill, powder, or crystalline “shard” form and can be smoked, swallowed, or injected, producing an intense and rapid euphoria.
Methamphetamine addiction carries serious physical and psychological consequences. Chronic use can lead to cardiovascular issues, cognitive decline, and intense cravings, making early intervention essential for restoring health and preventing long-term damage.
Methamphetamine use can manifest in a variety of physical, psychological, and behavioural symptoms. Signs that someone may be under the influence of meth include:
Methamphetamine is a powerful stimulant, often causing bursts of energy and hyperactivity. Users may exhibit twitching, erratic sleep patterns, and rapid eye movements.
Chronic use frequently leads to rapid weight loss, as drug-seeking behaviours take precedence over nutrition. Dental decay (“meth mouth”) and skin sores are common, stemming from both neglect of self-care and the drug’s psychological effects, such as hallucinations and skin-picking.
Over time, these physical consequences can make users appear significantly older than their years, often presenting with a gaunt or sallow appearance. At Atlantis Recovery, our treatment programs address both the physical and psychological impact of meth, restoring health and vitality in a luxurious, supportive environment.
Methamphetamine initially produces heightened alertness and euphoria, giving users an intense “high.” However, with prolonged use, psychological effects become more severe. Users may experience paranoia, irritability, and mood swings.
Chronic use can also lead to psychosis, including hallucinations—both visual and tactile—which significantly impact daily functioning. At Atlantis Recovery, our comprehensive treatment addresses these psychological challenges through tailored therapy and holistic care, helping patients regain mental clarity and emotional balance in a luxurious, supportive setting.
Prioritisation
Meth becomes the central focus, often at the expense of relationships, career, education, and personal health.
Dependence
Meth dependence occurs when the body and mind come to rely on the substance to function normally.
Tolerance
Long-term meth use often leads to tolerance, where the body adapts to the substance and diminishes its effects.
Meth Addiction Treatment at Atlantis Recovery
At Atlantis Recovery, we provide comprehensive, personalised treatment for methamphetamine addiction.
CBT is a highly effective therapy that explores the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. In meth addiction treatment, it helps individuals identify and address the thought patterns that drive substance use, enabling them to develop healthier coping strategies.
At Atlantis Recovery, CBT is integrated into a luxurious and supportive environment, empowering patients to gain insight, reduce cravings, and make lasting behavioural changes.
DBT, a specialized form of CBT, is designed to help individuals balance opposing emotions and thoughts. Originally developed for Borderline Personality Disorder, it has become a versatile tool in addiction treatment.
DBT teaches skills across four core modules: mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. By mastering these skills, patients can navigate emotionally intense situations without resorting to meth use and establish healthy boundaries in relationships.
At Atlantis Recovery, DBT is delivered in a luxurious, supportive setting, ensuring patients gain practical tools for long-term recovery and emotional resilience.
EMDR is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process and reframe traumatic memories, reducing their emotional intensity. For those whose meth use has developed as a coping mechanism for past trauma, EMDR can be instrumental in addressing the root causes of addiction.
At Atlantis Recovery, EMDR is offered in a serene, luxurious environment, allowing patients to engage deeply with therapy while feeling safe, supported, and empowered on their path to lasting recovery.
Group therapy fosters a sense of community, allowing patients to share experiences, gain peer support, and learn from others who are navigating similar recovery journeys. Both approaches are integrated into our structured programs to ensure holistic, sustainable recovery in a private, serene setting.
Our process begins with a comprehensive assessment to gain a deep understanding of each patient’s struggles and requirements. This allows us to design a treatment plan that is both effective and tailored to the individual.
