Is or has there been research findings on the best length and type of treatment program or method for meth addicts? What is the success rate?

Most rehab hospitals will clearly state around 5 percent of people who get treatment will recover for any length of time,UNLESS... They seek help AFTER treatment,NA,AA,CA etc.

Treatment is only 5 percent of recovery(NOT A CURE) that is a statistic widely stated in all recovery programs also.

Once an addict,always an addict,it just gets less... sharp? With time,and support.

ANY addiction,weather meth,cocaine,weed,alcohol,heroin,downers,uppers,it s all the same in the end, A human desire to 'escape',the necessity to treat ourselves to a guilty pleasure.

Seeking treatment?

Call Narcotics Anonymous(NA) in the phone book and clearly state this question to the service,remember,they will tell you something you might not want to hear, the truth, but it just might save your life!

There's always an addictionologist. This along with group therapy goes along way, and yes AA or NA also.
