Home / Detox Programs / Stimulant Drug Addiction Treatment
Stimulant addiction can be overwhelming, making it difficult to function daily. Many people struggle to stop using on their own due to intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings. At Granite Recovery Centers, we offer medical support, structure, and compassionate care to help you recover safely.
Stimulants speed up messages between the brain and body, boosting energy, focus, and alertness. Medications like Adderall and Ritalin are prescribed for ADHD, while others, such as cocaine and methamphetamine drugs, are illegal and highly addictive. Many misuse stimulants for performance enhancement, but this can lead to dependency and serious health risks.
Prescription stimulants are classified as Schedule II drugs due to their high potential for abuse. Misuse can lead to stimulant addiction, and prescription shortages have pushed some to seek illegal alternatives, increasing their risks. Even medications like Concerta can become addictive when taken outside prescribed guidelines. Stimulant misuse is rising, with over 10.2 million people affected in 2022—an 8.63% increase from the previous year.
Quitting stimulants can cause withdrawal symptoms from mild to severe. Medical detox helps manage these symptoms safely, reducing discomfort and health risks. Without proper support, cravings, fatigue, and depression can make relapse more likely.
The withdrawal timeline varies by stimulant type, duration of use, and individual health. Some recover quickly, while others may experience lingering symptoms. At Granite Recovery Centers, supervised medical detox ensures a safe and supportive environment to start recovery.
Stimulant withdrawal symptoms can be both physical and psychological.
Short-term withdrawal symptoms:
Long-term withdrawal symptoms:
Withdrawal symptoms begin within a few hours to a day after last use and peak within the first week. Some symptoms, such as fatigue and mood changes, can last several weeks or longer.
Stimulants affect dopamine levels in the brain, which take time to rebalance. Long-term use can impact motivation and emotional well-being. Factors like health, frequency of use, and dosage can affect withdrawal severity and duration.
Medical detox for stimulants provides a safe, supervised space to manage withdrawal. Inpatient detox includes 24/7 monitoring, medication-assisted treatment for stimulant addiction, and professional support.
Rehab also offers therapy, group support, and structure to help people rebuild their lives. Programs like the 12-step approach teach long-term recovery skills and relapse prevention.
