Prescription Stimulants Addiction Treatment

Compassionate, Evidence-Based Care for Long-Term Recovery

Prescription stimulants—such as Adderall, Ritalin, or Dexedrine—are commonly prescribed for conditions like ADHD or narcolepsy. However, misuse can quickly escalate into dependence, tolerance, and addiction. At Renew Health, our outpatient approach blends clinical expertise, detox & withdrawal management, and comprehensive therapy to help you break free from prescription stimulant misuse and reclaim a healthier, more balanced life.

Why Is Detox Important?

Physical Stabilization

Eliminating or reducing harmful substances in the body allows you to begin healing—mind and body.

Safer Withdrawal

Abruptly stopping certain substances can be risky. Supervised detox helps reduce complications and manage discomfort.

Foundation for Recovery

Clearing substances from your system prepares you for evidence-based treatments and long-term healing.

What Are Prescription Stimulants and Why Are They Addictive?

Prescription stimulants increase the levels of certain neurotransmitters—like dopamine and norepinephrine—in the brain, helping improve focus and alertness. When taken outside of a doctor’s guidelines (e.g., higher doses, more frequent use, or without a prescription), these medications can lead to:

Euphoria and Tolerance. Elevated dopamine levels can create a “rush.” Over time, higher doses are needed to achieve the same effect, contributing to physical and psychological dependence.
Risky Usage Patterns. Some may use stimulants to manage workload pressures, weight control, or recreationally—leading to dangerous misuse scenarios.
Severe Withdrawal. Abruptly stopping can cause exhaustion, depression, and other intense symptoms that make quitting difficult without professional support.
Health Complications. Prolonged misuse can strain the cardiovascular system, increase anxiety, and impact sleep, mood, and overall well-being.

Our Outpatient Approach to Prescription Stimulant Addiction Treatment

Renew Health adopts a whole-person perspective, addressing the physical, emotional, and behavioral components of prescription stimulant addiction. Our outpatient model offers flexibility, allowing you to maintain your daily commitments while receiving structured support.

1. Initial Evaluation & Personalized Planning

Your journey begins with a comprehensive assessment, covering:

Your stimulant usage patterns (frequency, dosage)
Any co-occurring conditions (e.g., anxiety, depression)
Medical history & general well-being
Lifestyle demands and personal goals

Using these insights, we craft a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

2. Detox & Withdrawal Management

Withdrawal from prescription stimulants often includes fatigue, mood swings, intense cravings, and a “crash” in motivation or energy. Our medical providers oversee detox & withdrawal management, ensuring you receive safe, supportive care to stabilize symptoms and prevent relapse.

Therapy is crucial to unearth the underlying causes of stimulant misuse and develop sustainable recovery skills:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Identifying and replacing harmful thought patterns with healthier coping mechanisms.
