METH (ICE) ADDICTION TREATMENT

‘Meth’ and ‘ice’ are both slang terms used to refer to methamphetamine, a powerful stimulant drug that affects the central nervous system. While both terms are often used interchangeably, there can be a slight difference in their connotations.

Meth usually refers to methamphetamine in its powdered or crystalline form. It can be smoked, snorted, injected or ingested. It is often produced in illegal laboratories with various degrees of purity.

Ice specifically refers to the highly purified form of methamphetamine – in the form of clear crystals resembling ice or glass. It is typically smoked using a glass pipe and has a more intense and prolonged high compared to other forms of methamphetamine.

“While both “meth” and “ice” refer to methamphetamine, “ice” typically denotes a more potent and pure form of the drug, often associated with more severe health risks and addictive potential.”

Long-term Effects of Meth Addiction

Methamphetamine poses significant risks to physical and psychological health, as well as social consequences.

Some of the key risks associated with abusing ice include:

  • Addiction and Dependence: Ice is highly addictive. Tolerance and dependence occurs quickly with meth users compulsively seeking the drug despite negative consequences.
  • Physical Health: Ice abuse can lead to serious physical health problems including cardiovascular issues, elevated blood pressure, and heart or lung problems. Long-term use can cause severe dental problems (“meth mouth”), skin infections and weight loss.
  • Mental Health: Ice abuse can result in a range of psychological issues such as paranoia, anxiety, hallucinations, and psychosis. These effects can persist even after cessation of methamphetamine.
  • Social Consequences: Ice abuse often lead to social isolation, strained relationships with family and friends; and engaging in risky behaviors.

Methamphetamine Detox and Withdrawal

Detoxification from methamphetamine can be challenging. As a highly addictive substance with the potential for serious withdrawal symptoms, detox should be performed under medical supervision.

Detox alone is not sufficient to overcome meth addiction. One completion of the withdrawal stage of treatment, One Step provides the opportunity to address underlying issues and build a foundation for a meth-free life.
