Stimulant Addiction
What Are Stimulants?
Stimulants affect certain chemicals in the brain. In general, they increase dopamine and concentration. Prescription stimulants, like those prescribed for Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), are intended to increase focus and provide a sense of calm. Like many other drugs, they can cause a sense of euphoria, which makes them very addictive. Illegal stimulants include cocaine or speed.
Types of stimulants can include: Cocaine, Adderall, Meth, Speed, Ephedrine, MDMA (Ecstacy), MDPV, Methamphetamine, Bath Salts

Stimulant Addiction Treatment Options
Many stimulant addicts begin using their drug of choice as a way to cope with the pressures of life. Sometimes that is through a drug that helps with focus, and sometimes it with a drug that helps the addict escape. Here at Peaks Recovery, our treatment programs include a life skills component; our clients hold jobs so they can learn to deal with life’s stresses in sobriety. This greatly enhances their long-term chances of avoiding relapse, and so does our aftercare program.
