The most effective treatments for methamphetamine addiction are behavioral therapies and support. Working the 12-Step program with a sponsor along with random testing and encouragement for non-drug-related activities has been shown to be effective in reducing methamphetamine misuse.
Although medications have proven effective in treating some substance use disorders, there are currently no medications that counteract the specific effects of methamphetamine or that prolong abstinence from and reduce the misuse of methamphetamine by an individual addicted to the drug. Therefore, we stress 12-Step meetings, sponsors, random testing, support and encouragement from fellow house residents as a long-term key to success and health.
