Methamphetamine—commonly known as meth, crystal meth, or ice—is a highly addictive stimulant that impacts the central nervous system. It produces an intense, short-term euphoria that quickly fades, often leading users to binge and crash. Over time, meth can damage brain function, impair decision-making, and cause severe emotional, psychological, and physical harm.
Treating meth addiction is more than just detoxing from the substance. It requires a comprehensive approach that addresses both the physical dependence and the underlying psychological drivers of substance use. At Supreme Recovery in Virginia, we provide relief from addiction and help people continue their recovery in our outpatient treatment program.
