Methamphetamine addiction treatment is available for those who are caught in the awful grip of its addictive nature. "Crank" or "Ice," the street names for this manufactured stuff is highly addictive to the central nervous system of the body and gives a rush when first injected, snorted, smoked or eaten. People on meth are highly active and eat sparingly because of loss of appetite. It is a stimulant that has been used in the treatment of sleep walking, attention deficit disorder and obesity. The drug is often manufactured in small, illegal labs where it not only endangers those who are producing it but also neighbors and the community. The chemical significantly changes how the brain functions and with long term users of the drug, memory and emotional problems surface. Additionally, paranoia, delusions and hallucination are often associated with long term users of the drug.
It would appear that women are addicted to methamphetamine more than any other drug except tranquilizers, sedatives and opiates. Women smoke it more than men and are likely to be single parents with children. This leaves the children with a greater opportunity to also develop a dependency and at the same time the mother is less likely to take care of the parenting needs of the children. There appears to possibly be a link between meth use and child abuse. Because of the tremendously addictive quality of meth, there are various methamphetamine addiction treatment methods that are used to appeal to various addicts.
The most positive therapy model for methamphetamine addiction treatment appears to be what is known as Matrix therapy. The therapy is made up of six components that incorporate a number of different approaches to addiction therapy. The components do not incorporate any new ground breaking treatment techniques, but the combination of all the approaches seems to be the most effective methamphetamine addiction treatment. There appears to be little success for any therapy where the addict does not first admit that he or she has a serious problem. God declares all mankind guilty before Him and without a Savior, death brings an eternity of punishment. Facing that reality is also important for every person. "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God; but the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 3:23, 6:23)
The first component of the Matrix therapy is the relationship with a trained therapist. In exclusive methamphetamine addiction treatment centers that are very expensive this therapist may be a psychiatrist, which is a medical doctor who treats mental and emotional issues. In less exclusive settings, the therapist may be a certified substance abuse counselor who has been trained in psychotherapy. Psychotherapy, especially in the addiction arena, is usually of the cognitive-behavioral approach. This type of counseling desires to help the client to differentiate between thoughts and actions. This counseling wants to help the addict understand that people and circumstances don't make a person take certain actions. This counseling seeks through careful questioning of the addict to show that blame for one's action can only be placed on the addict and nowhere else.
The second part of the Matrix therapy for the meth addict is the implementation of the group therapy approach. Group therapy has been a part of many counseling programs many decades. The power of the peer has been shown to be one of the most powerful persuasive agents in methamphetamine addiction treatment, as well as other addictive treatments. No one can truly confront an addict like another addict. They understands the cons, they understand the lies and the self deception and can quickly confront and address them with one another.
The third part of the Matrix treatment approach is the inclusion of a 12 step or other spiritual group involvement. It is no surprise that methamphetamine addiction treatment is much more successful when the God shaped vacuum in every man and woman is addressed. Studies have proven time and time again that with any addiction issues, whether it be alcohol, drug, sexual or gambling, awaking a person's realization of the power of prayer and the care of God. This approach to addiction therapy includes some of the following components: admitting one cannot control the addiction, recognizing a higher power can give needed strength, examining past errors with the help of a sponsor, making amends, and helping other with the same addictions. The formulation of the 12 step approach has been around since the 1930's when Alcoholics Anonymous began formulating its treatment program.
The final three components in the Matrix approach to meth addiction treatment are relapse prevention, family involvement and structured approach to information. A great deal of education is usually a part of methamphetamine addiction treatment that includes how pone became addicted, how they have been addicted and what to do to keep from relapsing. If at all possible, treatment will involve the addict's family members as success for the addict's full recovery hinges on the support and love and care that he or she receives from those closest to them. Nothing can be more helpful to family members than to know that they are not alone, and their own support groups are often a key to having them not give up on the addict's many struggles. Finally, the Matrix approach to treatment will follow a highly structured approach when it comes to scheduling both at home and for treatment. Making the personal responsibilities of the addict as clear as possible is part of the treatment's success.
