What is PROMETA?PROMETA is an innovative treatment protocol for alcohol, cocaine, or methamphetamine dependence. The treatment protocol involves prescription medications and nutritional supplements that are administered in a proprietary manner. The treatment is followed by after care, such as individual and/or group therapy, which is considered a key part of recovery. The treatment protocol begins with a 2–3 day course of prescription medications and nutritional supplements. This is followed by a brief course of at-home medications and nutritional supplements that are taken for approximately one month. Additionally, the PROMETA treatment protocol for cocaine and methamphetamine dependence includes a second medially supervised treatment on 2 consecutive visits, about 3 weeks after the initial treatment.
