Learn More About the Treatment We offer for Amphetamine Abuse
It was reported that there are about 24.7 million amphetamine abusers in the United States, including Georgia, each year. When used under the direct supervision of a medical physician these medications can be helpful for certain disorder, but when abused can create numerous negative consequences.
Amphetamines are strong stimulants that have been used medically to treat disorders such as narcolepsy and manage the symptoms of ADHD. This class of drugs stimulate the central nervous system causing an increase in the amount of dopamine in the brain. It is this increase in dopamine that leads an individual to experience feelings of euphoria and an overall sense of wellbeing. While the initial effects of amphetamines are pleasurable the high ends with a noticeable crash, leaving the user feeling irritable and exhausted. It is an attempt to avoid that crash that causes an individual to continue to use amphetamines. Over time the body builds up a tolerance causing the user to have to increase the amount consumed in order to once again achieve those pleasurable feelings. Eventually the brain begins to crave this substance which leads to amphetamine addiction and dependence. It then begins imperative to seek rehab at an amphetamine addiction treatment center.

Types of Treatment
Treatment Options We Use To Treat Amphetamine Addiction
At our treatment center, our expert staff uses empirically validated and scientifically proven treatment modalities to treat those struggling with amphetamine abuse. Our residential addiction treatment program is centered on the 12-step model of recovery and strongly encourages the attendance of our weekly Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous meetings. Our experience has shown us that the best form of rehab for amphetamine addiction is a combination of medication management and therapeutic techniques.
When you arrive to our treatment center in Georgia, we will conduct a complete psychological and physical assessment to determine the type of rehab you will need. We will make note of any additional substances in your body, any health-related problems, and the existence of any co-occurring disorders. If needed, your first task will be to safely detox from all of the toxic substances in your system. Only when you are sober and stabilized can you be fully engaged in your treatment process for amphetamine addiction.
Medication will mostly likely be used during the detoxification process to lessen the unpleasantness of amphetamines withdrawal symptoms. In addition to detox, some individuals may require medication to help manage the symptoms of another existing mental health disorder. While medication is helpful, it is not a cure and needs to be used alongside other therapeutic methods in order to more effectively prevent a relapse. You and your treatment team will decide what is best for you while seeking rehab at our center.
Individual therapy are one-on-one sessions between you and a therapist that are used to address more private issues you may not feel comfortable sharing in group. This is a time during rehab where you can focus on your main concerns and pick them apart in a more in depth way.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) identifies and addresses negative thought patterns that may have led to your amphetamine addiction. Once the negative thoughts have been identified you will learn how to think more positively and in turn behave in a more productive and positive manner.
Reality-based intervention is used at our treatment center to get you to focus on your current problems and move away from the past, which you cannot change. By looking at your current behavior you can determine what you want your future to be and make necessary changes to get there.
Group therapy allows you the opportunity to connect with other individuals who are suffering from addiction problems and are seeking rehab at our center. By learning from and supporting each other, you will gain important social skills that may have been lost. Our process groups allow you to work through issues having to deal with amphetamine addiction, while our psycho-educational groups are there to provide you with much needed information. You will be involved in both groups throughout your rehab at our treatment center.
