Methamphetamine Addiction and Crystal Meth Addiction Treatment in New York, NY

A private psychiatry practice located in NYC, Manhattan and the Upper East Side

Methamphetamine addiction has been surging over the last decade or so in New York City. This substance used to be limited to more rural areas of the Midwest. But, it’s been expanding throughout the United States. This stimulant is like the prescribed stimulants patients take for ADHD. This may include stimulants such as Adderall, Ritalin, and Vyvanse. But, it is over 20 times more potent than these prescription medications. Plus, it is much more addictive and damaging. Unlike these prescription stimulant medications, methamphetamines have no therapeutic or clinical sign. They are only a destructive drug of abuse.

Methamphetamine Addiction Can Affect Highly Motivated, Successful Individuals

This includes professionals, business owners, college students, and more. There is an easy lure of increased energy and heightened performance. Meth addiction has been surging so much in the last several years. In fact, it is actually on target to exceed the opioid dependence epidemic. But, the consequences of using this substance can be more damaging than any other abused drug.

The Physical, Emotional, and Mental Toll
of Methamphetamine Addiction

Have you been using methamphetamines? Do you notice you either can’t stop or function without them? Have you suffered devastating physical effects including:

Heart problems

Or other psychiatric complications

Until recently, few physicians could help with this devastating addiction. Luckily, now there is hope and effective treatment for this stimulant dependence.

Symptoms of Methamphetamine Addiction and Crystal Meth Addiction in New York, NY

Methamphetamines are one of the most destructive drugs available that are often abused. It has the potential to damage nerves that regulate neurotransmitters including dopamine. Dopamine is the neurotransmitter responsible for energy, focus, and regulation of cravings. In some cases, this damage is irreversible. With the destruction of these neurons, cravings for methamphetamines can be severe. In long-term crystal meth addiction, these neurons and nerves may never recover.

Symptoms of methamphetamine addiction include:

Severe insomnia
Appetite and weight loss
High risk for heart attacks
Strokes
Irreversible neurological problems
High risk for persistent agitated and psychotic behavior
Severe depression and anxiety that may not resolve
Severe dental problems, including loss of teeth and damage to gums
Devastating and potentially deadly seizures and convulsions
Irreversible liver and kidney damage

My treatment approach is comprehensive. It considers the psychological, biological, and social relationship aspects of addiction treatment. We will take a deep dive into all medical issues related to using or behavioral addictions. We will also appropriate screening and treatment of all psychiatric issues. Together, we will work on repairing damaged relationships and trust-building.

Backed by over 25 years of experience

This approach is fine-tuned from over 25 years of experience. During this time, I’ve treated all types of addiction issues. I have held several clinical appointments as an assistant professor of psychiatry at area medical schools. I’ve also achieved the honor and distinction of fellowship status in the American Psychiatric Association (FAPA) and the American Society of Addiction Medicine (FASAM).

We view meth addiction as a “family disease.” It can have major effects on those around the addicted. If your relationships are affected, we will aggressively address this. If right for you, we can get your significant others involved for support outside of our sessions. We can also have family and couples sessions.
