Chronic use of methamphetamine can result in a tolerance for the drug. Consequently, users may try to intensify the desired effects by taking higher doses of the drug, taking it more frequently, or changing their method of ingestion. Some abusers, while refraining from eating and sleeping, will binge, also known as "run," on methamphetamine.
During these binges, users will inject as much as a gram of methamphetamine every 2 to 3 hours over several days until they run out of the drug or are too dazed to continue use. Chronic methamphetamine abuse can lead to psychotic behavior including intense paranoia, visual and auditory hallucinations, and out-of-control rages that can result in violent episodes.
Chronic users at times develop sores on their bodies from scratching at "crank bugs," which describes the common delusion that bugs are crawling under the skin. For example, one can receive a positive urine test after a single use for up to 4 days after use, whereas a hair test can be positive up to 3 months later. This means that the pleasurable effects of methamphetamine start to wear off even before the drug has been fully metabolized, so people might try and maintain their high by taking more.
People often use methamphetamine with other substances and combining substances can alter the effects of methamphetamine on the body and how someone may feel. However, alcohol inhibits methamphetamine metabolism, meaning that it will take longer for methamphetamine to leave the body if someone consumes alcohol.
People may also combine methamphetamine with other stimulants, like cocaine or MDMA. They may take it with opiates like heroin, or with other drugs such as GHB, poppers, or ketamine when engaging in chemsex.
Combining methamphetamine with other substances can have unpredictable and sometimes harmful effects on the body, and also lengthens the time it takes for all drugs to leave the system. It should be noted that the effects of illicit methamphetamine can be very different than prescribed methamphetamines or amphetamines, such as Adderall. Inpatient care allows a person to reside in a drug and alcohol rehab center and have access to the most evidence-based therapies and treatment methods, as well as the highest level of medical care and treatment support.
Meth is a highly addictive drug, so relapse is common, especially for those who do not have a strong personal support system or who do not receive intensive treatment for their addiction.
Personal recovery outcomes may vary, but research has shown that people who complete a treatment program of up to 90 days are most likely to succeed in long-term recovery goals, including sobriety. The inpatient programs offered by rehab centers connected with Vertava Health are some of the most intensive and offer the highest level of care in addiction treatment. Methamphetamine addiction treatment programs will be tailored to individual need and can include any number of therapies, counseling, medication, group involvement, arts and recreation and ongoing support in aftercare—all treatment components which lend to long-term recovery.
