Stimulant Detox
Can You Quit Stimulants Cold Turkey?
Quitting cold turkey with stimulants is dependent on the type of stimulant being abused. Though some addicts could be advised to quit cold turkey, others are advised to gradually start tapering off the usage. In most cases, withdrawing from stimulants should be under the supervision of a medically trained staff in a detox facility.
Types of stimulants can include:
Cocaine, Adderall, meth, speed, ephedrine, MDMA (Ecstasy), MDPV, methamphetamine, bath salts
Stimulant Withdrawal Symptoms
When one has been heavily using stimulants they may be awake for long periods of time and will ultimately “crash.” They will become depressed and may sleep for hours or even days.
When they wake, the user will experience additional withdrawal symptoms, the most dangerous being severe depression to the point of suicidal thoughts and acts. This is why it’s critical to seek stimulate addiction recovery treatment for addiction instead of the addict trying to quit stimulants on their own. The withdrawal symptoms of stimulants can vary depending on the person’s history with the drugs, physical health, and tolerance.
