Methamphetamine Detox

Withdrawal symptoms from methamphetamine addiction start about a day after last use of the drug. Cravings for methamphetamine peak from one day after abstinence and can last over the course of seven to ten days from the last use. Intense cravings for the drug can linger for up to five weeks after cessation, increasing the risk of relapse.

Physical and emotional symptoms of methamphetamine withdrawal vary in intensity, although cravings for the drug, while the user remains abstinent, can be severe over the course of several weeks. The common symptoms of acute withdrawal from methamphetamine include the following:

Severe depression and psychosis are serious issues which can be caused by methamphetamine detoxification. Individuals in recovery who are suffering from depression are at increased risk of suicide and must be monitored. Psychosis can lead to a host of negative outcomes, such as increased risk of accidents, trauma, and legal problems.

Users wishing to end their addiction to methamphetamine are encouraged to seek professional help, where they can be monitored for these adverse side effects and protected from any negative outcomes which may arise.

Detoxing from methamphetamine can take much longer than other drugs. Methamphetamine is highly addictive, and, one of the major symptoms of withdrawal is intense cravings for the drug. This can last up to five weeks. Users not in a supervised, structured medical detox facility are at very high risk of relapsing while in the throes of acute withdrawal.

At-home detox from methamphetamine is not recommended. The withdrawal symptoms of methamphetamine make it particularly difficult for a user to quit without being under the care and supervision of trained medical staff.

The intense cravings of methamphetamine withdrawal, along with the risk of severe depression and psychosis make it unsafe and risky to undertake recovery alone.
