Understanding Methamphetamine Addiction
Meth addiction can rapidly take control of your life, causing severe physical and psychological harm. Methamphetamine use significantly elevates dopamine levels, creating intense euphoria followed by deep depression and cravings. Recognizing the signs of meth addiction is a critical first step toward recovery. Common signs include:
Increased anxiety and paranoia
Erratic or aggressive behavior
Extreme weight loss
Dental decay (“meth mouth”)
Skin sores and infections
Insomnia and fatigue cycles
Early intervention dramatically improves recovery outcomes, and our team is ready to help at every step.
