Stimulant Addiction Treatment

Overcoming Stimulant Addiction

Overcoming Stimulant Addiction & Reclaiming Your Life

Stimulants are often prescribed for medical conditions like ADHD or used recreationally for their energy-boosting effects, but misuse can lead to dependency, severe mental health issues, and dangerous physical consequences. Whether it’s prescription stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin or illicit drugs like cocaine and methamphetamine, stimulant addiction can quickly take control of a person’s life.

At Mission Recovery Home, we provide specialized stimulant addiction treatment that helps individuals safely detox, rebuild cognitive and emotional stability, and develop long-term recovery strategies. If stimulants are controlling your life, we are here to help you regain control.

What Is Stimulant Addiction?

Stimulants increase brain activity, energy levels, and focus, making them popular among students, professionals, and athletes. However, prolonged use can lead to severe addiction, heart issues, paranoia, and psychosis.

Commonly Abused Stimulants

Prescription Stimulants – Used for ADHD but often misused.

Examples: Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse, Concerta

Illicit Stimulants – Highly addictive with severe health risks.

How Stimulants Affect the Brain & Body

Stimulants increase dopamine and norepinephrine levels, creating intense euphoria, heightened focus, and energy surges. However, over time, the brain’s natural dopamine production is disrupted, leading to dependence.
