What is Methamphetamine Addiction?

Methamphetamine addiction is a severe and complex condition characterized by an uncontrollable desire to use methamphetamine, despite the negative consequences it may bring. This powerful stimulant drug, also known simply as meth, crystal, or ice among other street names, directly affects the central nervous system, leading to intense feelings of euphoria, increased energy, and heightened alertness. However, these short-lived highs come at a great cost.

Individuals grappling with methamphetamine addiction may find themselves trapped in a vicious cycle of bingeing and crashing, pushing their bodies to extreme limits without adequate rest or nutrition. This pattern not only wreaks havoc on physical health—leading to significant weight loss, dental problems (“meth mouth”), skin sores from picking due to hallucinations of bugs crawling under the skin—but also severely impairs mental health. The intense psychological grip of meth can lead to paranoia, hallucinations, aggressive behavior, and in some cases, irreversible cognitive damage.

At Alpine Recovery, we understand that overcoming methamphetamine addiction requires addressing both the physical dependency and the psychological stronghold this drug has on individuals. By fostering a supportive community environment, we aim to empower our residents with the tools they need for long-term recovery and help them rebuild their lives free from methamphetamine’s chains.

I'm Jesse; I am an alcoholic. I attended Alpine Recovery Services from April 2009 to April 2011. I started with 9 weeks of IOP and then moved into 26 weeks of MRT. I followed all the rules of the program and embraced the assignments given to me. I began attending AA regularly as one of the requirements and found a group of people that I could truly relate to. One of the requirements of Alpine was to read a book by Dr. Milam called Under The Influence. It highlights the physiological aspects of alcoholism and how it related to my condition, which was instrumental in understanding why my body is alcoholic compared to normal people. They also required us to read the first 164 pages of the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous, which taught me a new way to live clean and sober. I saw people come and go throughout my time at Alpine and they all seemed to share one commonality. They all thought they could make their own rules and that the professionals at Alpine were out to get them. What I found was people who were extremely knowledgeable in their field and that truly wanted everyone to recover. One of my counselors showed me how to laugh and enjoy living in recovery that was key to learning and accepting a new way to live alcohol- and drug-free. I just celebrated 7 years clean on April 14, 2016, and could not have achieved that without my beginnings in Alpine Recovery Services. Thank You Alpine for helping me find a new way.

Jesse / Lynnwood, WA

I immediately felt welcome at Alpine from the moment I first walked through their doors. After 22 years in active addiction and losing nearly everything I cared about, I had no idea how to live life without drugs and alcohol. With the help and guidance of their counselors in the group setting there, I became honest with myself and others so that I could learn the tools necessary to stand on my own two feet, with confidence, in a life filled with Hope, Faith and Courage. I've now been free from all mind-altering substances for over a year and continue to work a strong program with the tools I learned in the intensive outpatient program and continuing care classes! The things I had let slip away are returning to my life and I've never felt better or more capable!

THANK YOU, ALPINE RECOVERY!!! You showed me how to reclaim my life!
