Stimulant Addiction Treatment

Stimulants are a highly addictive category of drugs and typically fall into the amphetamine class. They are intended to increase alertness and attention while providing physical and mental energy. They also have direct effects on the body and can elevate blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing. Stimulant addiction treatment can help people stop using and begin on the path to recovery.

Our stimulant addiction treatment considers the whole person, addressing what challenges they have been struggling with in body, mind, and spirit that caused them to begin using stimulants to deal with these issues.

Types of Stimulants

Drugs such as cocaine, methamphetamine, and MDMA are examples of illegal stimulants. They are extremely addictive and are some of the toughest drugs to quit. They can be taken orally, snorted, smoked, or injected.
Illegal stimulants:
• Cocaine
• Crack cocaine
• MDMA
• Ecstasy
• Crystal meth

Individuals can also become addicted to prescription medications such as Adderall or Ritalin, which are prescribed by a doctor to treat conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). These drugs should be used according to the prescription provided by a doctor. If abused, they can be very addictive and have long-term consequences.

Prescription stimulants:
• Adderall
• Ritalin
• Concerta
• Dexedrine
• Vyvanse

Signs of Stimulant Addiction

Stimulants tend to give individuals extreme energy followed by fatigue just a few hours later. In order to maintain energy levels, those addicted to stimulants will take their drug of choice frequently or in larger amounts to receive the same type of high they’ve become used to. Stimulants can be difficult to withdrawal from which is why it is recommended to seek rehabs that specialize in addiction treatment.

Some side effects of stimulant abuse include:
• Anxiety or depression
• Shaking or tremors
• Constant cough (if smoking stimulants)
• Hallucinations or paranoia
• Dilated pupils
• Malnutrition or weight loss
• Dysphoria
• Convulsions
• Confusion
• Irritability
• Aggression

If someone is experiencing withdrawal symptoms whenever they are not taking drugs, that is a clear indication of addiction.

There are also other indicators that are similar to other addictions, such as:
• Erratic sleep patterns
• Worrying about the next dose
• Lying about or hiding their drug use
• Spending too much money on the drug
• Choosing the drug over commitments such as school, work, or even relationships

If you or someone you love is experiencing any of these symptoms, you should seek professional help immediately.

Overcoming Stimulant Addiction Through Treatment

Stimulant addiction treatment may involve detoxification as well as an individualized and comprehensive therapy plan. Detoxification should always be done with the help of professionals. While the drugs are leaving a person’s system, withdrawal symptoms will set in. The amount of time in detox depends on the length and severity of the stimulant addiction. It also depends on the type of drug. In some cases, medications may be used to reduce intense cravings.

Through our comprehensive therapy programs, we will work with individuals to address the causes behind their addiction and uncover any underlying issues such as mental health struggles and diagnosis. We offer individual, group, and family therapy because addiction affects more than just the individual.
