Meth Addiction Treatment Centers & Rehab in Pennsylvania

Learn More About Meth Abuse Recovery at White Deer Run Treatment Network

Methamphetamine, or meth, is an illicit stimulant drug that provides a relatively short but intense euphoric high when ingested. Because the high from meth is somewhat short, users sometimes attempt to prolong the high by engaging in multi-day binges that may eventually end in a crash. Over time, repeated meth abuse can result in the development of a meth use disorder, causing a cascade of detrimental effects to arise in users’ lives. Examples of such effects could include job loss, social isolation, homelessness, legal trouble, and even death. Meth use disorder has the potential to devastate a person’s life, but thankfully, with help from a reputable addiction rehab center those who wish to overcome an addiction to meth have a chance to break free.

At the White Deer Run Treatment Network in Pennsylvania, we understand the destructive influence meth can have in the lives of those who use it, but we also have experience helping people break free from addictions to this insidious drug. With the assistance of the caring and dedicated staff of the White Deer Run Treatment Network, it is possible to step out of a life of meth abuse and step into a life of healing and freedom.

Helping a Loved One or Family Member Get Treatment for Meth Abuse

Standing by a loved one as he or she struggles with a meth use disorder can be a taxing experience. It is difficult to watch your loved one spiral into addiction and feel as though there is nothing you can do to help. Yet, despite how hopeless things may seem, there a number of steps you can take to assist your loved one, such as:

• Learn all you can about meth and meth use disorder. Take note of the signs and symptoms of intoxication and overdose, and make a safety plan with your loved one for what to do in case he or she overdoses.
• Research rehab centers and make a short list of treatment options that may be a good fit for your loved one. Also, consider contacting the staff members at various treatment centers to discuss their programming options and treatment approaches.
• Keep an open line of communication with your loved one. While it may be difficult, try to remain open and nonjudgmental as you talk with him or her and share your feelings about his or her meth use. Gently encourage your loved one to seek treatment at a reputable addiction rehab center, but understand that treatment will most likely happen at your loved one’s pace, which may be different than yours.
• Once your loved one decides to enter into a treatment center, offer to help with logistics. Make appointments with treatment center staff and make yourself available to accompany your loved one to those appointments. While he or she is in rehab, continue supporting and encouraging your loved one throughout his or her entire stay.
• Do not neglect your own physical and mental health. Get exercise, continue participating in your own hobbies, and seek support from your friends and family members. You might also consider joining a support group for people with loved ones who are battling an addiction to meth.

Why Consider Rehab at the White Deer Run Treatment Network in Pennsylvania

Methamphetamine is an incredibly dangerous drug, and an untreated meth use disorder can have disastrous effects on a person’s life. Meth can significantly impair a person’s performance at work, possibly leading to demotion or job loss and subsequent financial difficulties. Relationship tension, divorce, loss of child custody, and social isolation are all possibilities when meth abuse continues to impact an individual’s life. Additionally, things such as severe dental problems, infections from sharing used needles, engaging in unsafe sex, organ damage, and death due to overdose can all occur as a direct result of ongoing meth use. Fortunately, however, it is possible to minimize or avoid many of these negative effects by seeking out effective treatment at a specialized substance use rehab center.

Types of Treatment Offered for Meth Abuse at the White Deer Run Treatment Network

The White Deer Run Treatment Network is composed of 16 treatment centers throughout the state of Pennsylvania that provide comprehensive care for people who are struggling with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health issues. We offer a full spectrum of care that includes medically-monitored detoxification, residential rehabilitation, partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, traditional outpatient programs, and halfway houses. Our rehab centers are staffed by teams of dedicated and compassionate professionals, including physicians, psychiatrists, registered nurses (RNs), licensed practical nurses (LPNs), counselors, therapists, technicians, and other specialists.

Each of our programs specializes in providing a certain set of services that may include those described below. The White Deer Run Treatment Network as a whole provides a number of interventions that may be included in a person’s individualized treatment plan depending upon each participant’s needs. These interventions may include the following:

Detoxification: Often the first step in a substance abuse treatment plan, detoxification is the process of ridding one’s body of substances of abuse. Medically-monitored detox at rehab centers within the White Deer Run Treatment Network help individuals withdraw safely from substances like meth under the supervision of an experienced medical team who can monitor each participant’s progress and administer medications to help alleviate withdrawal symptoms. Many of our programs also support participants with counseling sessions during detox on an as-needed basis.

Individual therapy: Individual therapy is a key rehab method used at the centers within the White Deer Run Treatment Network. During individual therapy, participants meet one-on-one with their primary counselor or therapist and discuss issues that have emerged during treatment. Individual therapy allows participants to engage in more in-depth processing than is often possible during interventions like group therapy. It also gives participants a chance to bring up issues that may not be appropriate for a group setting.

Group therapy: Group therapy sessions are an essential feature of rehab at the addiction centers within the White Deer Run Treatment Network. Ranging from process groups to topic-focused groups, this intervention gives participants a chance to support and be supported by each other, to share common experiences, and to practice new skills in a safe environment. Group sessions may be led by clinical technicians, counselors, and therapists and cover a wide range of material based on group members’ needs.

Family therapy: Families can often be a powerful ally in a participant’s recovery process, but we also recognize that each person’s family and family relationships are unique. As such, our rehab centers are happy to provide family therapy sessions to our participants based on individual need and each participant’s wishes. Family therapy, which is led by a trained counselor or therapist, provides an opportunity for families to come together to discuss unhealthy relationship dynamics, codependence, and other issues that may be preventing family members from supporting each other. In addition, family therapy allows family members to process the effects of meth abuse and how it has impacted the family as a whole.

At the rehab centers within the White Deer Run Treatment Network, we understand that lasting recovery is a long-term process, and we provide comprehensive continuing care options to give each person in Pennsylvania who comes to us the best possible chance for success. Our staff members work closely with each treatment participant to create a discharge plan that will maximize his or her ability to continue to build upon the progress he or she made during rehab. We understand that overcoming a methamphetamine use disorder, especially if it is present alongside a co-occurring mental health disorder, can be an immense challenge. However, with the help of the White Deer Run Treatment Network family, it is possible to overcome the cycle of addiction, learn to manage the symptoms of a co-occurring mental health disorder, and take the first steps towards a brighter, substance-free life.
