What Is Stimulant Addiction?
Stimulants are a wide class of commonly abused drugs. The stimulant drug class includes both prescription and illicit substances, including drugs such as:
- Adderall
- Methamphetamine
- Cocaine
- MDMA
- Ritalin
While each of these drugs produces different specific effects, they have one element in common that classify them as stimulants: they excite the central nervous system to unnatural levels. This often results in euphoria, restless energy, insomnia, appetite suppression, and reduced inhibitions.
Yet these effects come at a cost. Stimulants are highly addictive, and using stimulants just a few times can trigger invasive drug cravings, unwanted side effects, and drug dependence.
People who misuse stimulants will often experience a significant crash after a period of stimulant use, feel chronic fatigue, or experience substance-induced depression.
When a person becomes addicted to stimulants, their central nervous system becomes accustomed to the higher rate of activity produced by stimulant drugs. When they suddenly stop using stimulants, their baseline central nervous system activity plummets. This leaves them feeling fatigued, bored, uninterested in their favorite activities, and craving stimulation.
These effects can last for months, often leading people to quickly relapse on stimulants after their first attempts at sobriety. Relapse is so common that it is one of the key criteria of a substance use disorder. But there are treatment options that can help people break free.
How a Stimulant Addiction Treatment Program Can Help
Despite the addictive nature of stimulant misuse, there is hope for recovery. A stimulant addiction treatment program uses evidence-based treatment methods to help people achieve abstinence, overcome withdrawal symptoms, and learn the tools and skills of recovery to last a lifetime.
Stimulant addiction treatment is delivered by a specially trained team of medical and mental health professionals. Using techniques that have been honed and developed for decades, addiction professionals can ease the effects of stimulant withdrawal, teach effective coping mechanisms for dealing with lingering symptoms, and help clients build stronger and healthier lives in sobriety.
