What is Methamphetamine?
Methamphetamine—commonly known as meth, ice, crank, crystal, or glass—is an intensely addictive stimulant that directly impacts the brain’s reward system. After just one use, individuals often chase the short-lived high through repeated doses, leading to a dangerous cycle of bingeing, crashing, and craving. Whether it’s smoked, snorted, injected, or swallowed, meth use can rapidly spiral into full-blown dependence.
At Leucadia Detox, we understand how meth changes the way the brain works—and how deeply it affects behavior, mood, and overall well-being. Our facility in Encinitas offers a peaceful, medically supervised space where clients can detox safely and begin building the foundation for long-term sobriety. Because we’re part of Maven Recovery Centers, our programs are rooted in experience, evidence-based care, and an unwavering commitment to each person’s recovery.
