Methamphetamine is harder to hide than most substances, and families usually arrive here having already seen a great deal. If you have been managing days without sleep and a person who does not sound like themselves, you are not overreacting.
Medically supervised care for the first, hardest days — safe, steady, and watched over.
A protected space where real recovery can take hold, with support nearby.
Long stretches awake, then a crash that can last for days. Weight that keeps coming off. Suspicion or paranoia that does not respond to reassurance, and sometimes a version of the person that is frightening to be around. In the flat period after a run, the low is deep enough that using again is the fastest way out of it, which is the loop that makes stopping alone so difficult.
The first days are about sleep, food, and safety, with medical staff nearby in case psychiatric symptoms need attention. After that the work is behavioural and it takes time, because the brain’s reward system needs a stretch of months rather than weeks to settle. Contingency management and structured therapy carry most of the weight, alongside treatment for any psychiatric symptoms that remain once the person is rested.
We treat addiction as a health condition, not a character flaw. Care is individual, evidence-based, and coordinated across medical and clinical staff, so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around. We keep things discreet by default, because privacy is part of feeling safe enough to do the work.
Every call is confidential. We do not contact your employer, your family, or your insurer without your say-so.
There is no pressure here. When you are ready to talk, we will listen.
