During the study participants will spend the initial 2-weeks of the study at an inpatient facility. This will help participants initiate withdrawal. During the following 8-weeks the participant will come in for 3-4 visits each week. Three of these visits will be with the research assistants and one visit will be with a therapist in order to work with the participant using a cognitive behavioral therapy approach. Therapy visits are typically scheduled on a day that the participant is coming for clinic anyways so the number of visits per week is typically 3. During the 10-week period the investigators will collect various measures, including vitals, cognitive assessments, mood assessments, urine drug screens, weekly use reports of methamphetamine, and any reports of symptoms or side effects. This will tell the investigators if atomoxetine is safe and if a participant lapsed or relapsed.
