Understanding Meth addiction
Definition
Causes
Symptoms
Meth addiction, or Stimulant Use Disorder (SUD) involving methamphetamine, is characterized by compulsive meth use despite adverse consequences. The DSM-5 defines it by criteria such as taking larger amounts than intended, cravings, continued use despite negative consequences, tolerance, and withdrawal.
Meth addiction develops from genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Certain genes increase SUD risk, while meth availability, trauma, and peer influence are environmental factors. Untreated mental health issues and impulsivity contribute psychologically. Meth’s highly addictive nature, rapidly increasing dopamine levels, reinforces drug-taking behavior.

Patrick & Nicole - Family Testimonial
Listen to the testimonial of Patrick and Nicole, Parents of a Cornerstone Alumnus who spent time at one of our Arizona recovery centers.
Patrick and Nicole have witnessed first-hand the transformative impact of Cornerstone Healing Center. Their son, Cole, was grappling with the debilitating grip of alcoholism, his life seemingly at the mercy of this relentless disorder. However, from the moment Cole stepped into our Scottsdale alcohol rehab center, his life began to change in profound and unimaginable ways.

Outpatient programs for methamphetamine substance use disorders offer individuals flexible, part-time therapy options. These programs provide psychotherapy, medication management, and support specifically tailored to address the unique challenges of methamphetamine addiction. By offering flexibility in scheduling, outpatient programs enable individuals to receive treatment while still maintaining their daily routines and responsibilities. This approach recognizes the importance of supporting individuals in managing their recovery process while balancing their outside life commitments. Outpatient programs play a crucial role in providing ongoing care, helping individuals develop coping strategies, and facilitating their journey towards long-term recovery from methamphetamine addiction.

What are the side effects of meth addiction?
Professionals can only diagnose mental health disorders. An in-depth understanding of co-occurring diseases’ signs and symptoms might be complex for friends and family. However, specific symptoms of substance use disorder are easily noticeable and should be considered a warning sign. These include;
- They are isolating themselves from friends and family.
- Abrupt changes in their behavior, such as being more irritated, less patient, and angrier.
- They are facing difficulties in fulfilling everyday tasks.
- They indulge in risky behavior such as driving under the influence, changing social groups, or changing partners.
- They no longer focus on their health or hygiene.
- They lose control over their use of substances.
- They have a high tolerance for substance usage.
- They are showing signs of withdrawal.
These warning signs can be an excellent indicator for friends and family to get their loved ones to help with co-occurring disorders.
The most commonly occurring disorders along with substance use are depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and personality disorders.
Some general signs of co-occurring disorders to look out for include;
- An increase or decrease in their eating and sleeping routines.
- They lack interest in hobbies that they once adored.
- They have increased emotional reactivity.
- They show fear without reason.
- They are having difficulty concentrating or thinking.
- They are more irritable and tend to get angry quickly.
- They are no longer giving importance to cleanliness or health.
- They are complaining about body pains without genuine cause.
- They seem to have lost touch with reality and are acting paranoid. They might also be experiencing hallucinations or delusions, which they explain to you as life events.
If you ever notice your loved ones showing signs of suicidal ideation, seeming distant and lost in thought, or confused about daily matters, consider reaching out to Cornerstone Healing Center to ensure that their disorders are diagnosed and treated effectively.
What to expect from meth withdrawal symptoms?
Methamphetamine, being one of the most potent synthetic drugs, is also linked to severe withdrawal symptoms. People who are looking to quit meth experience symptoms divided into two phases.
The first phase lasts for the first 24 hours of meth withdrawal. This phase is the most intense and can cause a lot of problems. Some of the symptoms that a person might experience during the first phase include severe meth cravings, fatigue, sleeplessness, anxiety, depression, and an increased appetite, among several other symptoms.
The second phase of meth withdrawal is less intense than the first and can last for almost a month. Increased appetite, anxiety, depression, and meth cravings are some of the symptoms associated with the second phase of meth withdrawal. It’s important to always remember that these are temporary.
The duration and severity of these withdrawal symptoms vary depending on the time of use. People who have used the drug for a long time might experience more severe withdrawal symptoms for longer periods.

Testimonials
What ARIZONA clients and treatment professionals say about Cornerstone
This facility is different from any other rehab that I have been to. I have had many failed attempts at getting and staying sober since I was 16. Mostly due to a majority of the treatment centers that I had went to not having much help with aftercare. They would get you clean for however long the stay was and then release you with no tools or foundation to build on. Cornerstone immersed me in the 12 step recovery program. The PHP groups were extremely therapeutic for me. They took me to Recovery meetings every day of the week. They have extremely nice houses to go back to while you’re not at the clinic. Most importantly, they set me up with an aftercare plan that put me on a path to success. Before I left they made sure that I was set up with a sober living, a job, and also made sure that I had made good progress in my 12 steps. After I got out I was sent to IOP, and every week they have a navigator who makes sure that you are doing well and helps you with any obstacles you may be facing. All of the staff truly cares about every individual who comes through this place. Unlike a lot of treatment centers, cornerstone is not in it for the money. Thanks to them I have been able to maintain long term sobriety. I am the happiest I have been in my entire life. I will forever have gratitude for cornerstone and to all of the staff that helped me, and continues to help on my recovery journey.

I watched my loved one struggle with an addiction to alcohol for over fifteen years. In 2022 he was at the worse I had ever seen. I suggested a multitude of things to quit, however, I knew that he needed help and was convinced that this was not going to end well. I had seen the program of recovery outlined at Cornerstone and convinced my loved one to make the 1,800-mile drive across the country. It saved his life. I hardly recognize this man today. From hustling me to pay for "just one more night" at a hotel, to having his own apartment in a year is a miracle. Cornerstone provided him a safe place and provided every tool possible including inpatient treatment, A.A., therapy and counseling, IOP and helped with his transition into the mainstream of life. I’ll be forever grateful.

this place saved my life 100%. the whole staff genuinely cared about me and were only trying to help me grow. i have confidence again and goals to achieve. coming from someone who was very suicidal and a bad alcoholic before treatment, i’ve completely done a 180°. i loved my house managers lacey and jazz who were both extremely important to my recovery. my primary therapist Lori was such a sweetheart and i could tell she genuinely cared about my life and wanted to help in any way she could. i feel like i’ve finally found my place in this world and most importantly myself and that’s all thanks to God and Cornerstone.

Cornerstone was absolutely amazing! I owe my life to their program of recovery and phenomenal staff. Without them, I would be nowhere near where I am today living a happy, healthy, sober life. I cannot recommend Cornerstone enough to anyone looking to try and recover from alcoholism and addiction!
