Crystal meth use is a major cause of public concern in Ohio, with meth and other psychostimulants causing a quarter of all the state’s fatal overdoses. In many cases, crystal meth is mixed with fentanyl, meaning you are taking a drug with no way to judge how dangerous it really is. Crystal meth addiction can escalate quickly, and many people find themselves in serious trouble before they even realize what is happening. Armada Recovery offers crystal meth rehab for anyone who needs support. If you are worried about where your life is heading, let Armada Recovery guide you on a different path.
What is crystal meth rehab?
Crystal meth rehab comes after detox, once the withdrawal crash is over and you're stable enough to think clearly. Meth changes your brain chemistry, so early recovery can make you feel empty and emotionally flat. That can last weeks or, in some cases, months while your brain slowly repairs itself.
Most people who become addicted to meth were already dealing with serious problems like trauma, untreated depression, loneliness, or just trying to get through a difficult life. Crystal meth detox doesn't make those problems go away, but rehab can help you work through those issues rather than numbing them with drugs.
In rehab therapy, you will discuss all the situations and struggles that trigger meth use, and learn how you can resolve or avoid them safely. Recovery really is possible, but it takes time, and very few people manage it alone.
Do you need crystal meth rehab?
If you're using meth regularly, you probably already know something is seriously wrong. But the real issue isn't whether you have a problem, but whether you need professional help to stop. These questions can help answer that:
- Have you lost a scary amount of weight because of meth?
- Are you staying up for days at a time using?
- Has meth got you feeling anxious or paranoid?
- Have you hurt people you love because of meth?
- Is meth the only thing that makes you feel awake or functional?
- Have you done things to get meth that you could never have imagined before?
- Has your appearance changed so drastically that people comment on it?
- Do you know meth is harming you, but you use it anyway?
If these questions hit home, crystal meth rehab at Armada Recovery can help you stop before the damage goes any further.
Crystal meth rehab at Armada Recovery
Meth rehab takes place at both of our treatment centers in Dayton and Akron. They provide outpatient treatment, so you come in for appointments in your own time, and then go home to rest and put your recovery plan into action. Our proven meth rehab therapies include:
Motivational interviewing
MI doesn’t push you toward anything, but instead, encourages you to lead your own recovery. Sessions help you separate other people's reasons from your own, because only your reasons will keep you on the right path when things get rough.
12-step facilitation
Facilitation sessions prepare you for what to expect in NA meetings and similar 12-step groups. You learn how the steps work in practice, and what happens when you walk into your first meeting. We will then help you locate local meetings wherever you are, so you can get started as soon as you’re ready.
Dialectical behavior therapy
DBT is about stopping yourself from acting on every feeling that hits you. When the crash from meth leaves you desperate and empty, DBT trains you to pause and choose a response that doesn't involve using meth again.
Cognitive behavioral therapy
Meth cravings can hit fast, and one minute you're fine, and the next you're desperate to score. CBT slows that down, so you learn to spot the moment and pause before the craving takes over. Once you see the patterns of your behaviours and thoughts, you can finally take back control.
What are the benefits of crystal meth rehab?
Crystal meth rehab provides safety nets when you're most at risk. Some of the biggest benefits include:
- Medical oversight during the weeks when withdrawal symptoms and cravings can hit without warning.
- A safe place to go when you're about to relapse instead of struggling alone at home.
- Experts who recognize the warning signs of relapse before you do and intervene early.
- A concrete crisis plan for the moments when using feels like the only option.
- Treatment that addresses what you were self-medicating with meth in the first place.
- Someone checking in regularly, so you can't isolate and disappear back into addiction.
What happens after crystal meth rehab?
Your brain can take months to recover from meth, which means finishing rehab is just the beginning. Armada Recovery understands this, so we don't abandon you once your scheduled therapy ends.
Before you leave, we will go over a relapse prevention plan and look at what's most likely to cause relapse for you. This helps you figure out responses ahead of time instead of trying to improvise when you're desperate.
If you need more time before returning to normal life, our Partial Hospitalization Program gives you somewhere stable to live for as long as you need. This means you won’t be left alone to manage early recovery without support.
Our Alumni Program lets you keep in touch with treatment staff and other people from your group. There are meetups you can attend, and people you can always call when you're struggling. We'll also point you toward fellowship meetings nearby in Ohio for additional peer support.
