Residential Amphetamines Addiction Treatment

Learn more about amphetamine addiction treatment at Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab in Northern California

Amphetamines are powerful drugs that have a stimulating impact on the central nervous system, which can lead to positive effects such as improved focus, increased energy, and enhanced sense of motivation. However, amphetamines are far from harmless substances, and when these drugs are abused their potential for both immediate and long-term harm is significant. Amphetamine abuse can result in both physical and psychological damage, and can lead to addiction. When a person becomes dependent on an amphetamine, he or she will lose control over the amount and frequency of his or her amphetamine abuse, which can increase both the variety and the intensity of negative outcomes that he or she may experience. Without professional help, a person may find it difficult or virtually impossible to overcome amphetamine addiction.

At Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab, our treatment professionals have decades of experience working with men and women who have been struggling with various forms of addiction, including the compulsive abuse of amphetamines. We have developed specialized programming that has proved to be effective in the effort to help individuals end their dependence upon amphetamines and learn to live healthier and more satisfying lives, free from the limitations that were previously imposed upon them by their amphetamine abuse.

Helping a loved one get treatment for amphetamine addiction

If someone that you care about has been abusing or has become addicted to an amphetamine, then you already know how devastating these problems can be. What you may not realize, though, is that you can play a crucial role in getting your loved one the help that he or she needs. Please consider the following:

• Educate yourself about the signs, symptoms, and effects of amphetamine abuse and about the ways that amphetamine addiction can impact a person’s body and mind. The more you understand what your loved one is experiencing, the better prepared you will be to provide meaningful support and actionable guidance.
• Research treatment and identify programs that provide the type and level of care that seem to be best suited to meeting your loved one’s specific needs.
• Talk to your loved one. Express your concerns, share the information that you have collected, and discuss the benefits of treatment. Most importantly, listen to your loved one. What he or she says or does not say can give you invaluable insights into how best to proceed.
• Accompany your loved one to appointments and program visits. Offer to drive, and to accompany him or her at these sessions. Remaining an active presence in your loved one’s life can provide both moral and practical support.
• Be reliable and supportive. The likelihood that a person will continue to make progress after completing residential treatment increases exponentially if he or she has a strong support network. Friends and family members play an integral role in achieving long-term recovery.
• Do not be deceived into thinking that treatment is the end of the struggle. Professional care can provide essential services and support, but the majority of the work will occur in the months and years to come.
• Be prepared for setbacks. Addiction is an insidious disease, and even people with years in recovery can slip back into dangerous behaviors. Be prepared to provide solace and support when your loved one hits a pothole on the road to long-term recovery.

Above all else, do not lose sight of the fact that your loved one is struggling with a very real disease that will require a lifelong effort to hold at bay. Show support, ensure that your loved one gets the professional help he or she needs, and plan to remain an active positive presence in his or her life.
