Crystal meth treatment self-help tips

Back

Find a program that meets your needs

It is important to choose a program that meets your specific personal goals and lifestyle. If your crystal meth addiction is severe, then the constant supervision offered by a residential program might be a better decision.

Avoid temptation during detox.

If you are engaged in an outpatient detox program for a crystal meth addiction, it is important to steer clear of situations where you can be pulled back into drug use. These situations may include visiting old friends or neighbourhoods where crystal meth is available.

Understand the withdrawal symptom

Crystal meth withdrawal symptoms can be scary if they come on unexpectedly. Individuals who know about these potential side effects of detox beforehand will be in a better position to cope with them when they do arrive.

Don’t be afraid to ask for help

 

If you are concerned about the severity of your withdrawal symptoms, or want to know about the challenges that may lurk around the corner -don’t be afraid to ask the counsellors or doctors who are on-call.

Maintain a good mental attitude

 

A lot of your success during crystal meth detox depends upon your mental state, your attitude and desire play a big role in the end result. Don’t waste a lot of energy fighting back against the program or the people who run it. See crystal meth detox for what it is: the first step in the journey towards a happy, fulfilling drug-free life.
