With all the hype about meth addiction and it's evils you would think it would be easy to find help. Not so far. I have been looking for a free, or cheap, non faith based, non 12 step meth addiction outpatient program in the Phoenix Metro area. Something with counselling and medical supervision would be ideal. I cannot afford to not be working since I am self employed. I need to quit, and want to be clean. The cycle must be broken. Does anybody know how to help?

The only non-god treatment I know of is the AA version for drug addicts. If attending AA, you must remember that it calls for belief in YOUR higher power, not God. I have friends who attend AA who have nothing to do with any god. I don't know anything about the US programs, but in Canada we have 5 day, free Initial treatment - detox. centers. They provide medical treatment while the initial detox occurs and then help place a person in a treatment facility that is longer term. They are all AA based.

You can turn yourself around if you haven't been addicted for a long time. Good luck. I know how you feel -but my addictions were anti depressants cigarettes and Jack Daniels
