Addiction to Amphetamine:
Amphetamine Abuse Treatment
O Medication for Amphetamine:
O There is a misconception that medicines cannot help get rid of the addiction. It
is like having another addiction to get rid of one, which is not true. Medicines
can help in resolving withdrawal and psychological symptoms. However, Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) has not yet approved any medicine to treat
amphetamine addiction. Some healthcare professionals do prescribe over-the-
counter drugs such as hydroxyzine, Benzodiazepines, Baclofen, Antabuse, and
Norp ramin.
O Therapies or Counselling Sessions
O We have often heard that communication is the solution to every problem. It
applies in the treatment of amphetamine abuse. Therapies and counselling
sessions are arranged by the healthcare professionals to understand the
psychology of the addicts. Once the healthcare professionals get into the root
of the mental and emotional cause, it is easy for them to carry on the therapy
treatment.
O Rehabilitation Centers
O Rehab centers are considered costly yet effective for many addicts. People who
are at high level of addiction are recommended to join rehab centers.
Medicines, therapies and aftercare treatment is offered in rehab centers.
There are two types of rehab patients: Inpatient and Outpatient.
