What to Do During a Meth Overdose

Meth is an extremely addictive and dangerous stimulant. Even a small dose can trigger a dangerous or potentially fatal overdose. Furthermore, meth overdoses can be acute and occur suddenly or chronic and gradually worsen because the drug can linger in the body. Acute overdoses are more dangerous and are often characterized by seizures and breathing difficulties.

If someone is having a meth overdose, call 911 immediately and tell the dispatcher:

• How much meth was taken just before the overdose symptoms began.
• How the drug was taken, such as injected, smoked, etc.
• Approximate height and weight of the overdose patient.
• Time elapsed since the last time the drug was used.

This list of basic information can help emergency responders arrive with the right medical equipment to take lifesaving measures immediately. In many cases, no criminal prosecution can be used against someone who calls for emergency help due to taking an illicit narcotic like meth, so don’t hesitate for any reason to get help.

Getting Treatment for Meth Addiction

Although meth addiction can have a powerful hold, recovery is possible for everyone. With professional treatment, those struggling with meth addiction can successfully eliminate the substance from their bodies and actually rewire their brains to reduce cravings and prevent the likelihood of relapse.

At SOBA New Jersey, we tailor our meth addiction recovery process, to meet the unique needs of each person. We recognize that no two situations are exactly alike, and what one person needs from treatment may differ from another. That being said, many people who attend our methamphetamine addiction rehab undergo several specific treatments and therapeutic programs.

Meth Detox to Protect Your Health

Substance abuse professionals agree that medical detox is often the most effective and safest way to start meth rehab.

Key elements of medical detox for meth addiction include:

• Constant medical supervision to ensure that your health is not jeopardized by withdrawal symptoms.
• Reduced risk of suffering withdrawal symptoms at all, especially severe symptoms.
• Lab-created stimulants similar to meth that are proven to be safe and nonaddictive, and are administrated by detox experts.

You don’t have to go through detox alone. Receiving compassionate support from addiction professionals can make a world of difference when starting the recovery process. Getting help at a detox center also will allow you to receive an assessment of your addiction and a unique, comprehensive treatment plan to increase your chance of long-term sobriety.

While going through detox, you will begin learning about the disease of addiction. You will learn how to create a firm recovery foundation and can begin working on other mental or emotional issues you may have with dual-diagnosis treatment.

Addiction Treatment After Detox

Addiction experts recommend attending a treatment center after detoxing from meth. If you detox but don’t follow a comprehensive recovery plan, you can be much more likely to relapse. A full recovery program allows you to receive individual and group counseling, which can help address co-occurring mental and behavioral health issues like anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, job issues, coping skills, anger management, and more.

You can also attend classes that will teach you about addiction and recovery. As you dedicate yourself to sobriety and create the kind of life you truly desire, you’ll have the support and encouragement from our treatment center staff.

If you cannot attend an inpatient drug rehab due to work or family obligations, there are outpatient or intensive outpatient programs that allow you to come in for sessions that better fit your schedule. You can also attend a 12-step program with supportive meetings with established recovery councils like Crystal Meth Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous.
