Safe & Effective Methamphetamine Addiction Treatment in Pittsburgh, PA

You can overcome addiction! Through constant monitoring by a well-trained medical staff, as well as treatment that softens the impact of withdrawal symptoms, we ensure a safe detoxification process. Using a proven and perfected combination of behavior techniques, counter-conditioning, and medical attention, our treatment for overcoming methamphetamine addiction is safe, effective, and long lasting.

  • Behavior Modification Techniques may include chemical counter conditioning (emetic, or nausea based) or electrical (faradic) counter conditioning.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Techniques are applied to assist in the development of an aversion and to correct self-defeating thoughts and feelings. Through years of developing treatment methods, research has demonstrated that counter conditioning combined with standard treatment procedures creates effective results.
  • Counter Conditioning (Aversion Therapy) retrains the memory to regard the drug with displeasure or apathy. By alleviating or even eliminating cravings for alcohol, our patients can more effectively begin recovery. Counter conditioning significantly reduces the craving for drugs or alcohol in just 10 days of treatment.

 Meth, the Brain, & Why You’re Addicted

Meth use releases the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain area associated with pleasure receptors, producing a powerful “high.” Over time, the brain responds to meth use by reducing the number of dopamine receptors in the brain, increasing the amount and frequency of use needed. A “crash” results when the effects of meth dissipates, causing the addict to seek more (creating a cycle of addiction to meth). Our meth addiction treatment program at the ACC of Pittsburgh addresses the physical causes of meth dependence in order to eliminate, neutralize, and extinguish drug cravings, in only 10 days.
