Stimulants increase alertness and cognitive function in those who take them. They can be prescribed medications, or they can also be illegal substances. When they are prescribed, they’re often used to treat conditions like ADHD, narcolepsy and occasionally obesity.
Some of the most common prescription stimulants include:
These can also be found on the street, produced and sold on the black market.
Illegal stimulants that can be found on the street include:
It’s important to note that both types of stimulants are highly addictive, and there are hundreds of thousands of people who abuse prescription stimulants every single month in our country. Quite often, these individuals don’t realize how addictive they can be, or that forming an addiction to them is even possible. This actually increases the level of danger associated with stimulants even more because people can take them for years without realizing they’re addicted to them.
Perhaps you’ve become addicted to stimulants, or you suspect that you have an addiction to them. Whether you’ve been using prescription stimulants or illegal ones, it’s so important to know where you can turn for help. Stimulants rehab is your best option for stopping your use of these drugs so that you can recover safely.
An addiction to stimulants occurs in a few different ways. If you’re using prescription stimulants, you can become addicted to them if your doctor prescribes them and you continue to take them for a long period of time. You may notice that you start to develop a tolerance for them, and they don’t work as well as they once did in the beginning. At this point, some patients ask their doctors to increase their dosages, or they just increase them on their own.
You can also become addicted to prescription stimulants by taking them in a way that’s contrary to how they were prescribed. For example, college students may take their friends’ prescriptions when they don’t have a prescription so they can stay awake and study. Sometimes pills are crushed and snorted to produce a faster effect, or the drugs are mixed with other drugs or alcohol.
With illegal stimulants, there are some that can result in an addiction after just one use, and any use at all is considered abuse; it does not have to be repeated over time.
In most cases, continued use of a stimulant drug is abuse, and this results in an addiction after enough time has passed. Once addiction occurs, it requires stimulants addiction treatment in order to stop it safely.
Stimulants treatment centers are excellent at providing assistance for recovery to those who need it. Over the last several years, there has been a lot of research done on the best ways to help people recover from this type of addiction, and so these methods are currently in practice at some of the best stimulants treatment programs across the country.
First of all, it’s important to recognize that patients are individuals with their own needs, and their own addiction histories. It is not beneficial to them to treat them all the same. With that in mind, stimulants rehabs are able to help through:
There are a lot of different ways to recover from a stimulants addiction, and while it’s true that inpatient stimulants rehab is only one of them, it is the preferred method for a number of reasons. Outpatient treatment, or even intensive outpatient treatment usually doesn’t provide the type of support that’s needed once a stimulants addiction has taken hold, and the user is likely to relapse. Patients need the help of inpatient stimulants rehab staff because medical complications are likely to occur, but there is also the chance of an overdose if relapse occurs.
Many people fail to even begin the process of getting information about stimulants addiction treatment because they assume that they won’t be able to afford it anyway. This is actually no longer as true as it once was.
Several years ago, there weren’t many health insurance plans that covered addiction treatment, and those that did, did not provide a lot of coverage, or they had high deductibles. This is very different now because of the Affordable Care Act. Many people are actually surprised that their health insurance policies cover their stimulants addiction treatment in full under this new healthcare law.
