Effective Treatment for the Addiction of Amphetamine
Amphetamines are a stimulant drug which is most commonly used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and sleep disorders such as narcolepsy. It has also been used for weight loss but is now banned in many countries due to its negative health effects and addictive properties (although it is still often found available for purchase online).
Amphetamine Use & Addiction
Several weeks of amphetamine use can lead to physical and psychological dependence and withdrawal effects may occur soon after the last dose of the drug has worn off. The drug is meant to be taken in tablet or capsule form, but those that abuse the drug often empty the powder from capsules or crush tablets and snort them. This allows the drug effects to hit them faster. A combination of withdrawal symptoms, fatigue and drug cravings cause the user to continue seeking the drug and eventually develop an addiction.

Is A Medically Supervised Detox required for Amphetamine Addiction Treatment?

Why Choose Inpatient Therapy for the Issues That Cause Addiction?
1. No triggers. Many people who begin using amphetamine and later get addicted, do so in order to stay awake or have increased energy for long durations of time – often to get through work or school. Going away to an inpatient addiction treatment centre allows clients to get away from these situations that trigger amphetamine use which reduces cravings and allows them to focus more fully on recovery.
2. Reduced levels of stress Other than getting healthy once again, residential rehab leaves very little for clients to worry about. All-inclusive of meals, maid service and more, inpatient treatment is like a small oasis that allows clients to focus entirely on recovery.
3. 24-hour care. Mild withdrawal symptoms maybe last for several weeks, and counselling therapy is bound to bring up a plethora of emotions. No matter what clients are dealing with however, residential rehab provides round-the clock care.
4. Group and one-on-one counselling therapy. Getting to know the other people at the centre and hear their stories is a great way to learn more about the disease of addiction. Both group and one-on-one therapy sessions are an integral part of addiction treatment.
5. Confidentiality. All treatment is completely confidential. The only people that will know about your recovery are the people you choose to tell.
6. Daily and weekly schedule. Comprehensive and effective drug dependency treatment consists of more than just counselling. Art therapy, physical fitness, yoga and more are scheduled into daily and weekly schedules to help heal both the body and the mind in a way that sets clients up for long-term recovery.
How Much Does Addiction Recovery Cost?
Although more expensive than outpatient addiction treatment, it is important to remember that cost should not be the most important factor in making a decision about which rehab is best for you. It is important to consider the efficacy of the programme as well as the qualification of the counsellors. That being said, The Cabin Addiction Services Group is proud to offer world class treatment at just a fraction of the cost of similar or lesser rehab facilities in Western countries.
Is Addiction Treatment Covered by Insurance?
This depends on your own personal insurance policy. For further information, please contact one of our administration staff members.
