What Is The Methamphetamine Training?

The Addictions Academy Methamphetamine Training is a fast-paced, two-hour CEU course that equips addiction specialists, counselors, recovery coaches, peer support workers, hospital staff, and first responders with the knowledge needed to understand and address meth use. Led by Dr. Cali Estes, this training explores how meth became prevalent in the U.S., the differences between illicit meth and pharmaceutical amphetamines, and the profound impact meth has on the brain, body, and behavior. Participants will learn to recognize signs of use, understand slang and culture, and gain insight into the family dynamics often tied to meth addiction.

This course goes beyond theory by blending history, clinical insights, and real-world application. From the manufacturing process and street realities to prevention strategies and treatment approaches, students walk away with practical tools they can use immediately with clients. Whether you’re on the front lines of emergency response, working in a treatment center, or supporting clients in recovery, this training provides the clarity, confidence, and strategies you need to effectively address methamphetamine addiction in today’s communities.

Key Topics & Teachings Include:

Meth’s Addictive

Power & History

  • Creates an intense, short-lived high followed by a harsh crash.

  • Once normalized in society—WWII pilots, diet pills for housewives.

  • Shows how “everyday stimulants” evolved into today’s crisis.

Manufacturing &

Street Realities

  • Illicit meth is cut with toxic chemicals like bleach, ammonia, and gasoline.

  • Additives amplify health risks far beyond the stimulant itself.

  • Highlights why meth is more destructive than prescription amphetamines.

Methods of Use

& Brain Impact

  • Commonly smoked, but also injected or snorted—each with unique dangers.

  • Long-term use causes psychosis, jerky movements, and severe cognitive decline.

  • Visual examples help professionals recognize neurological consequences.

Short & Long-Term Effects

  • Immediate: insomnia, paranoia, hallucinations, appetite loss.

  • Long-term: “meth mouth,” skin damage, stroke, accelerated aging.

  • Post-use anxiety and sensory sensitivity often linger for years.

Why Meth Is So Addictive

  • Floods dopamine pathways at unmatched levels—1,200+ units.

  • Rewires the brain to “wait” for meth before releasing pleasure chemicals.

  • Powerful analogies (like tacos and sugar) make cravings easy to understand.

Treatment & Withdrawal

  • No MAT available—behavioral therapy and CBT remain the best options.

  • Withdrawal brings crushing fatigue, depression, and intense cravings.

  • Empathy training helps reduce stigma and strengthen client trust.
