When someone stops using meth, the body and brain have to adjust. This early phase is often called the “crash.” It can feel intense, even if it isn’t always medically dangerous in the same way alcohol or benzo withdrawal can be.
Many people feel:
Extreme tiredness and sleeping a lot
Low mood, depression, or feeling numb
Strong cravings
Anxiety, irritability, or agitation
Trouble focusing
Increased appetite
For some people, depression can get severe. If someone feels hopeless or has thoughts of self-harm, they should get help right away. A supported setting matters because the risk of relapse is often highest in the first days—not because someone is weak, but because the brain is craving relief.If you’re not sure what level of support you need, start with medically supervised care and step into the next level of treatment from there.
Meth addiction treatment works best when it combines structure, therapy, and support over time. There isn’t one single “fix.” Most people do better with a plan that helps them:
Understand triggers
Build coping skills for cravings and stress
Improve mood and sleep
Stay connected to support after rehab
Treatment for meth is often behavior-based, which means therapy and daily routines are a big part of recovery.
Many people use meth to escape pain, exhaustion, trauma, or mental health symptoms. Therapy helps you treat the “why,” not only the drug use.
Common evidence-based approaches include:
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): helps you spot thought patterns that lead to use and replace them with healthier choices
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy): builds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and impulse control
Trauma-informed therapy: helps people heal without being forced to relive trauma
Relapse prevention planning: builds a real plan for triggers, cravings, and high-risk moments
