You think you know "Meth", but do you?
WITHDRAWAL IS MORE MENTAL THAN PHYSICAL & STRONG SUPPORT GROUPS ARE CRUCIAL TO SUSTAINED RECOVERY
There is no FDA-approved medication for methamphetamine use disorder or any other stimulant use disorder.
However, contingency management offers people small, tangible incentives such as prizes, cash, vouchers, or gift cards (SOAR Survey) to help keep people from using methamphetamine and to continue treatment. Other evidence-based behavioral treatment approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy, group support, and motivational interviewing.
Withdrawal symptoms peak 2-3 days after last use and may last for a week. These symptoms may include:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Irritability
- Pain and discomfort
- Sleep problems
- Cravings and
- Trouble concentrating
- Low mood & cravings for the drug may last for months.
TIME TO REMEMBER, TIME TO ACT
We believe that overdose prevention must be rooted in human rights-based advocacy, ensuring that everyone, especially those struggling with addiction, receives respectful and comprehensive care that is relevant to their individual, unique needs.
We encourage the community to take a stand for health equity. Support organizations that provide stigma-free care and advocate for policies that uphold the dignity and rights of all individuals. No one should be denied the health services that others enjoy, especially those most vulnerable.
Mobilizing community action and supporting local advocacy are at the core of what International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD) is all about.
IOAD is about saying that lives lost to something that is preventable is not ok.
It can be difficult to see through the pain of losing someone to overdose, and in those moments, blame and punishment may seem like the best solutions. But to truly address this crisis, we need to look beyond criminalization and embrace compassionate, evidence-based alternatives that focus on health and dignity.

I see it IN me!
Did you use to party a little bit, but now seem to need meth or some other substance just to feel "normal" almost every day?
Meth Withdrawals?
Do you worry what will happen if you stop? Good news... Most users report NO physical withdrawals!
