Adderall Addiction Treatment

Adderall is an amphetamine drug often prescribed for attention deficit hyperactivity disorders such as ADHD and narcolepsy. Doctors prescribe Adderall off-label to treat weight loss and improve memory, also energy levels and focus for those who need it. This drug is known to mimic the effects of meth and is a highly addictive stimulant. Due to the enhanced focus and euphoric effects, Adderall abuse is becoming more common, especially among young adults who abuse Adderall.

There are several ways to recognize an Adderall addiction, including mental, physical, and behavioral changes. Despite this, you may be wondering if you need treatment for your Adderall abuse. Here are some common signs that Adderall addiction treatment may be a good idea for you or a loved one:

Common Signs:

1. You often isolate yourself to use Adderall or hide the amount of Adderall you take from others.
2. You begin to experience Adderall withdrawal symptoms as soon as your last dose has worn off.
3. You need to take more Adderall to experience the same effects as your last dose.
4. You have lost romantic relationships, friendships, and family relationships due to your Adderall use.
5. You have experienced significant financial loss due to funding your Adderall addiction.
6. You have begun to experience new or worsening mental health disorders from your Adderall abuse.

If not treated, Adderall abuse can lead to lasting health issues. Before entering an inpatient or outpatient Adderall addiction treatment center, you will likely need to detox your body from Adderall. For heavy Adderall users, the detox process typically involves tapering down from Adderall to slowly eradicate the drug from the body to minimize discomfort, depression, and fatigue.
