Methamphetamine Addiction Treatment in Tampa Bay, Florida
Learn how to reclaim your life at Transformations by the Gulf Alcohol and Drug Rehab where your methamphetamine addiction treatment is customized for you to succeed.
Meth Addiction Treatment is available at Transformations by the Gulf. Methamphetamine is a highly addictive street drug with a variety of forms and street names. The drug gives users a “rush” that includes feelings of enhanced well-being, heightened libido, increased energy, and appetite suppression. Psychological effects observed with methamphetamine use include euphoria, paranoia, agitation, mood disturbances, violent behavior, anxiety, depression, and psychosis. Cheaper than cocaine, its stimulant effects are also longer lasting. As the mood- and energy-enhancing effects of binging methamphetamine begin to wear off, users begin “tweaking,” a term describing a dangerous combination of restless anxiety, irritability, fatigue, and dysphoria. Further use of methamphetamine temporarily improves the symptoms and further reinforces the addiction. Eventually, after days of sleeplessness, users “crash” into a non-restful sleep.
Signs & Symptoms of Addiction
Meth Addiction Treatment is used to treat methamphetamine use which can be mild, moderate, or severe, based on the number of symptoms you experience. Signs and symptoms may include:
