Adderall Addiction Treatment Lancaster

Becoming addicted to Adderall is probably one of the most challenging cases of substance abuse to treat and is less likely to be announced as having a highly successful outcome due to the severe damage it causes to the brain’s mechanism and its strong dependence, making chances of recovery especially difficult for individuals who have developed a chronic addiction or have become tolerant to its effects.

Many first-class premier rehabilitation centers in and around Southern California or beyond provide alcohol and substance abuse treatments, but more often than not, Adderall, a Schedule II substance, is not included in their “what we treat substances” programs. 

At Resilient Recovery, here in Lancaster, California, located amid the hub of serious substance addictions occurring in our neighborhood and beyond, we recognize that not only in Southern California are we dealing with an epidemic scale of opioid drugs such as heroin and fentanyl but also other prescribed drugs such as Adderall, an amphetamine substance that is penetrating our boundaries as the second-most abused substance in the world after marijuana but has much more severe consequences.

Recognizing Adderall Addiction

Adderall is a brand name and is a prescribed medication to help treat people suffering from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Narcolepsy. Its main function is to improve focus and attention and control sleep disorders. 

The components of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine are central nervous system stimulants that affect the brain and neurotransmitters that promote better management of hyperactivity.

This combination is widely looked upon as a huge stimulant to overcome these disorders, but other than that, it has less prescriptive use, yet even though it is one of the most commonly prescribed drugs within the US, it is also frequently misused. 

The use of this substance has become a huge necessity among college-aged individuals resorting to the power of this drug to increase academic performance and even those dealing with highly stressful occupations who feel they need an extra stimulant to help deal with the daily challenges they face. 

Addiction presents itself when, after prolonged use of this medication, there is dependency, and one becomes completely incapable of refraining from taking the substance. 

How To Assess Adderall Addiction

If you are taking amphetamine drugs regularly and find you are obsessed with figuring out ways to acquire it or have cravings for it when not available, it may be that you have already developed an addiction.

You may find that the effects of the substance become less intense after repeated use, producing a desire to take more of it. Efforts to stop taking the substance don’t work as cravings are too strong to overcome, and your only thoughts are focused on obtaining it.

You may find that your physical health deteriorates but it also has an impact on daily responsibilities like work performance, driving under the influence, or damaging relationships with family and friends.

If you think you may have developed an addiction to Adderall or are beginning to struggle with it, you should seek a preliminary assessment to confirm a prescribed psychostimulant addiction, which is no different from an assessment for any other substance disorder and will determine the level of addiction and severity.

Only a qualified professional must conduct an assessment and advise on the best form of treatment to address it.

Adderall Addiction Treatment Processes

At Resilient Recovery, we understand that recovering from amphetamine misuse can be a difficult process due to the strong effects the substance has on the dopamine levels in the brain and its severe withdrawal symptoms.

This dopamine signalling can cause severe psychological symptoms that may continue into the first few weeks following detox, particularly for those who are heavily addicted to Adderall.

Our approach to treating this substance consists of four stages: assessment, detox, therapy, and aftercare.

• Assessment: Our initial assessment will determine the severity of addiction, and the information gathered will be processed, and an individualized treatment plan will be designed based on our findings, including any concerns for mental health disorders.
• Detox: The patient will undergo a medically assisted detox treatment to get rid of all the toxins from the body and manage any withdrawal symptoms that arise.
• Therapy: After a successful detox, therapeutic sessions can help source the root causes of substance abuse and prepare patients with new coping skills and techniques to help overcome addiction.
• Aftercare: The final phase of our treatment program is to provide ongoing support to maintain sobriety and prevent relapsing.

How long it takes to make a long-term recovery from Adderall can vary from one person to another, but typically, the initial stage of detox may take 3 to 4 days, while the full withdrawal stage may last for several weeks.

Withdrawal symptoms may fade and decrease by week two, but long-term users of Adderall may have prolonged withdrawal symptoms lasting anywhere between 2 weeks to a year. 

Withdrawal symptoms can be uncomfortable, making Adderall a difficult substance to recover from, as many individuals try to avoid experiencing this unpleasantness and resort back to taking the substance.

It is estimated that around 60% of people seeking treatment for Adderall or other amphetamine-type stimulants ultimately relapse as a result of being unable to cope with withdrawal symptoms.

For this reason, we deliver a comprehensive package of the best residential treatment to arm each recovering addict with the necessary tools and skills to overcome these challenges and reinforce them with ongoing support every step of the way to achieve a happier, healthier, drug-free life.

Amphetamine Addiction Treatment Therapies

Addiction recovery doesn’t just stop after the detox phase. The recovery journey takes time and patience as a person learns to adapt to a new life without drugs. Not only do the physical and psychological elements feel the impact of drug abuse, but the spiritual and emotional side also suffer percussions.

Because every person is different, their needs and requirements will also vary and they must progress at their own pace and within their capabilities.

Here at Resilient Recovery, we know that people deal differently with the experiences of substance withdrawal and endeavor to make every patient feel important and proud of their achievements.

Our dedicated staff encourages participation in therapies and counseling as well as providing a fun element of activities to promote overall well-being.

Our rehab programs include:

Individual Therapy

Our individual therapy allows a recovering addict to express their inner thoughts and feelings and identify problems or co-occurring disorders. This type of therapy promotes self-awareness and can reveal any oppression or unhappiness that may be deeply hidden and potentially a root cause for substance abuse.

Group Therapy

Group therapy sessions are useful in getting patients to talk together about their experiences both good and bad and share different views and reasons behind their drug use.

Listening to other people who have something in common can help with awareness and be able to analyze one’s actions with more insight. It is also an efficient way of helping someone open up and improve communication skills.

Holistic Therapy

Holistic therapy helps balance the body, mind spirit, and emotional factors through activities such as yoga and meditation which focus on controlling breathing techniques and movement to alleviate anxiety and stress.

Holistic therapies focus on restoring the body as a whole to reconnect with nature and allow the healing process to flourish.

Family Therapy

Many addicts find themselves alienated from family circles due to the pressures and strains of addiction. Most family members want to offer help and support but do not understand what a recovering addict has been through or how they feel about themselves.

It is crucial that friends and family attend therapy sessions to reduce apprehension, set foundations to build up relationships, and learn how to avoid conflicts.
