Meth Addiction Treatment – An Overview  Pharmacology  Due to the lack of availability of other pharmacological options, most meth users’ treatment begins with detoxification. It is used to slowly remove the meth substance from the user’s body. The entire procedure is performed under the supervision of professional medical personnel to ensure that patients remain safe during the treatment procedure.  Therapies  Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)  Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT in short, is focused on learning new ways to cope with stress and depression, which does not involve abusing the drugs like crystal meth or other harmful approaches.  Contingency management intervention  Contingency management intervention is based on a system that leverages reward or incentive as a motivational tool. This program provides incentives to the users recovering from meth addiction in exchange for the agreement of getting treatment and maintaining self-discipline. In some cases, disciplinary actions like withholding some of the privileges may be introduced in the case of non- compliance to keep them on track.  The Matrix Model  Matrix Model is a 16-week program that involves behavioral treatment services such as individual or group counselling and family education, drug testing and enforces the habits and activities, which does not involve the consumption of harmful drugs and detrimental substances.
