Stimulant Use Disorder Treatment
Drift Behavioral Health offers real support for stimulant addiction. Our staff tailors treatment plans to individual needs, providing outpatient care that combines proven methods and holistic methods.
What Is a Stimulant?
Stimulants are substances that speed up your central nervous system. They boost brain chemicals like dopamine and norepinephrine. These cause alertness, higher energy, and focus.
When used as prescribed, they help treat ADHD, narcolepsy, and, less commonly, depression. Stimulants also have a high risk for misuse and dependency. This highlights why these substances are so closely regulated.
Stimulant Examples
This type of drug includes various commonly used substances, which can be divided into two groups:
- Vyvanse
- Ritalin
- Adderall
- Concerta
- Cocaine
- Meth
- Ecstasy
- Amphetamines
