For Families

How to Help a Loved One

Supporting someone through meth addiction is hard. These tips can make the conversation easier.

Educate Yourself

Learn about meth addiction as a brain disease, not a moral failing. Understanding how stimulants rewire the brain helps reduce blame and opens the door to compassion.

Avoid Enabling

There’s a difference between helping and enabling. Stop covering for them, making excuses, or removing natural consequences of their use.

Set Boundaries with Love

Clear boundaries protect both of you. Be firm but compassionate — “I love you, and I can’t watch you destroy yourself.”

Join Family Therapy

Trailhead offers monthly Zoom family education groups. Open to all family members 18+, past and present clients. Curriculum covers codependency, family systems, and more.

Take Care of Yourself

You can’t pour from an empty cup. Seek your own therapy, attend support meetings, and prioritize your mental health too.

Learn About Codependency

Family systems often develop unhealthy patterns around addiction. Understanding these dynamics is the first step to changing them.

Our family support program is open to all family members 18+. Call (857) 312-1697

When They’re Not Ready

What If They Refuse Treatment?

It’s painful when someone you love won’t accept help. Here are steps that can make a difference.

1

Don’t Wait for Rock Bottom

The idea that someone must “hit rock bottom” is a myth. Earlier intervention leads to better outcomes. Start the conversation now.

2

Use Compassionate Language

Express concern without judgment. “I’ve noticed...” instead of “You always...”. Motivational interviewing techniques can help guide the conversation.

3

Set Clear Boundaries

Boundaries aren’t ultimatums — they’re statements of what you will and won’t accept. Enforce them consistently with love.

4

Consider Professional Intervention

A trained interventionist can facilitate a structured conversation. This is not about ambushing — it’s about organized, loving support.

5

Know When to Call for Help

If there’s immediate danger — overdose, psychosis, threats of self-harm — call 911. For guidance on next steps, call us anytime.

Our admissions team can guide you through next steps — even if your loved one isn’t ready yet.

Common Questions

Meth Treatment FAQ

What are the signs of meth addiction?

Key signs include extreme weight loss, dental deterioration, skin sores, paranoia, erratic behavior, staying awake for days, and inability to feel pleasure without the drug.

How long does meth addiction treatment take?

PHP typically lasts 20–30 days, followed by IOP for 60–90 days. Meth recovery often requires extended treatment due to the prolonged neurological recovery period. Many clients continue with outpatient therapy and alumni support.

Is there medication for meth addiction?

There are currently no FDA-approved medications specifically for meth addiction. However, our NP can prescribe medications to manage co-occurring symptoms like depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances that accompany meth withdrawal.

What therapies work best for meth addiction?

CBT and contingency management are the most evidence-based approaches for stimulant use disorders. We also use DBT, motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention strategies tailored to meth-specific triggers.

Can I work while in meth treatment?

Absolutely. Our Evening Professional Track (6–9 PM, Mon–Thu) is specifically designed for working adults who need treatment without disrupting their careers.

Will insurance cover meth addiction treatment?

Most major insurance plans are accepted, including Anthem BCBS, Point 32, Tricare, and WellSense NH Medicaid. Use our verification form or call us to check your coverage.

How long does meth withdrawal last?

Acute meth withdrawal typically lasts 1–2 weeks with fatigue, depression, and intense cravings. However, post-acute symptoms like anhedonia and cognitive fog can persist for months, which is why extended treatment is recommended.

Can family members be involved in treatment?

Yes. We offer family therapy sessions and monthly Zoom family education groups. These are open to any family member 18+, covering codependency, communication, and family systems.

What happens after meth treatment ends?

Clients step down to IOP or OP, join our alumni program, receive external therapist referrals, and maintain access to family support groups for continued growth.

What makes Trailhead different?

Family-style environment, flexible scheduling options, staff with lived recovery experience, 12:1 counselor caseloads, and same-day admissions when clinically appropriate.
