Let's see how we can help
Three quick questions. No contact details yet.
Care without judgment for meth use
Methamphetamine is a powerful stimulant. It can bring a rush of energy and focus at first, followed by crashes that leave people exhausted, low and wanting to use again. Over time, many people find that meth is shaping their sleep, their mood, their relationships and their sense of safety.
Methamphetamine use disorder is a treatable health condition, not a character flaw. Behavioral treatment helps you understand what keeps the cycle going, manage cravings and rebuild a daily life with structure and support. Early recovery can take patience while sleep, energy and mood settle.
This page is for adults in Yuba City and across California who are concerned about their own meth use, and for loved ones who want to help.
Signs meth use may be becoming a problem
If any of these sound familiar, a confidential assessment is a good place to start.
- You use more often, or in larger amounts, than you planned.
- You stay awake for long stretches and then crash for a day or more.
- You feel anxious, suspicious or paranoid, or see or hear things that are not there.
- Cravings are strong and hard to resist, especially after a crash.
- You have lost weight, skipped meals or stopped taking care of your health.
- Work, money, housing or relationships are suffering because of use.
- You have tried to stop and returned to using despite wanting to quit.

What methamphetamine treatment at ARC focuses on
Your plan follows your assessment and your goals. Sessions often focus on:
- Recognizing triggers, including people, places, stress and the low mood that can follow a crash.
- Practical ways to ride out cravings and plan for high-risk times of day or week.
- Rebuilding regular sleep, meals and daily structure as your body and mind recover.
- Anxiety, depression or trauma that may be connected to use.
- Repairing trust and communication with family or supportive people, when you choose to.
- A relapse prevention plan that keeps working after a structured program ends.

You begin IOP, Evening IOP or PHP, or detox first through our partner when that is safer.
If you have been using heavily, we will ask how you are sleeping, eating and feeling so the plan starts at a safe level of care.
Coming down from meth: what to watch for
Stopping meth often brings exhaustion, long sleep, strong cravings and low mood. These feelings usually ease with time and support, but the first days and weeks can be hard. You do not have to get through them alone.
Paranoia, hallucinations or thoughts of harming yourself need urgent care. If you need more support than outpatient care can safely provide, we coordinate detox and residential care with our partner, Ona Treatment Center. ARC does not provide detox itself.
In crisis? Call or text 988 (Veterans press 1). Emergency: 911.
Insurance and paying for treatment
ARC works with many commercial plans, including Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, TRICARE, Aetna, Cigna and UnitedHealthcare. Coverage varies by plan, and we verify your benefits before you start.
