Adderall Addiction Treatment
Breaking Free from Stimulant Dependency
Adderall, a prescription stimulant containing amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, is widely used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy. However, its highly addictive nature makes it a common drug of abuse, particularly among men seeking enhanced focus, energy, or productivity. Over time, dependence on Adderall can lead to serious mental and physical health consequences, requiring professional treatment to achieve lasting recovery.
At Recovery Bay Center, we provide medically supervised detox, individualized therapy, and long-term recovery support to help men overcome Adderall addiction safely and effectively.
Understanding Adderall Addiction
Adderall is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance, meaning it has a high potential for addiction and abuse. It works by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine levels in the brain, enhancing alertness, concentration, and motivation. However, prolonged or excessive use alters brain chemistry, making it difficult to function without the drug.
How Adderall Addiction Develops
- Taking higher doses than prescribed
- Using Adderall without a prescription
- Relying on Adderall for energy, focus, or confidence
- Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when trying to quit
- Mixing Adderall with alcohol or other substances
