Using methamphetamine can affect sleep, appetite, heart rate, and mental health, and stopping suddenly may bring on a crash of fatigue and low mood. Treatment generally starts with an assessment to determine which level of care fits: detox, residential, or outpatient. New Jersey has 28 facilities offering detox services, and SAMHSA lists 330 programs statewide. Of the state's 330 SAMHSA-listed facilities, 28 offer detox for methamphetamine use in New Jersey. That distinction matters because meth withdrawal is usually not physically dangerous in the way that alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal can be, yet oversight from a clinician still matters for safety and comfort.
Insurance may cover part of the cost, and many programs take New Jersey Medicaid. If New Jersey Medicaid covers you, ask every program whether it is accepted before scheduling an assessment. Under federal parity rules, most health plans must treat substance use disorder benefits comparably to medical benefits, though deductibles and networks still come into play. A helpline advisor can guide you through the questions to ask and how to confirm coverage, at no charge and with nothing required.
Meth deaths in New Jersey
According to provisional CDC data, 133 deaths in New Jersey involved methamphetamine during the 12 months that ended in May 2026, a decline of 28 compared with the preceding 12-month span. Those provisional CDC numbers put 133 meth-involved New Jersey deaths across 12 months, down 28 from the earlier period. Such figures are updated as investigations finish, so treat them as an indicator, not a final tally.
Statewide, all overdose deaths fell to 1,448 in the same period, down from 1,754 a year earlier. The statewide overdose total of 1,448 in New Jersey includes meth-involved deaths and reflects a 17 percent drop from the prior period. The decline does not mean the risk is gone; it means more people are surviving, and treatment still matters for anyone who is using heavily.
| Drug | Past year | Prior year | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Methamphetamine | 133 | 186 | -28% |
| Total drug overdoses | 1,448 | 1,754 | -17% |

Levels of care and medications
Treatment for methamphetamine use typically starts with an assessment, then moves to the least intensive level that can meet the person's needs. New Jersey has 283 outpatient programs, 243 intensive outpatient programs, 108 partial hospitalization programs, 53 residential facilities, and 10 hospital-based programs listed by SAMHSA. Among the 330 treatment centers in New Jersey, 108 offer partial hospitalization and 53 offer residential care for people who need more structure.
No FDA-approved medication exists for treating methamphetamine use disorder as such, though medications are prescribed for co-occurring conditions and for other substance use. Buprenorphine appears at 237 facilities, naltrexone at 232, and medications for alcohol use disorder at 219. Naltrexone is listed at 232 New Jersey facilities and buprenorphine at 237, yet neither is approved to treat methamphetamine use disorder itself. If you also drink heavily or use opioids, medication may belong in the plan. Quitting alcohol and benzodiazepines can be hazardous, so clinical supervision should guide it; never adjust doses yourself. A dual diagnosis approach is common, with 46 detox programs and 259 telehealth options listed, so ask how mental health care is combined with substance use treatment.
