Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

Although there is no specific medicine for methamphetamine addiction but person can be helmed immensely provided she is interested in quitting. Most of the patient with long years of abuse need rehabilitation in supportive environment.

Having said this I am surprised to know she does not have money for getting treatment but she have enough money for meth abuse. In my view doctors fees is much less than the cost of meth in illegal market.

I hope this helps you.
Thanks and regards.
