Addiction: The success rate is very low if i recall studies on meth, you can go in a inpatient rehab and focus on family, work, relocation to avoid the same streets, locations which may trigger the amygdala and temptations.

I encourage you to: Tell the physician who prescribes your psychiatric medications. He or she may refer you to an addiction medicine specialist. Take care.

Detox centers: Ask your doctor for a referral to a detoxification program where you can be withdrawn from the drug and receive counseling to help you stay away from addictive substances in the future.
