Helping You or Your Loved One Break Free from the Grip of Stimulants
Stimulant use disorder is a growing concern in Tennessee and across the country, affecting individuals from all walks of life. Whether it’s cocaine, methamphetamine, or prescription stimulants like Adderall or Ritalin, these substances can create a cycle of dependence that’s difficult to escape without professional help. At Total Recovery Medical Center, we provide outpatient treatment tailored to help individuals overcome stimulant addiction and regain control of their lives.
What Is Stimulant Use Disorder?
Stimulants are substances that increase brain activity, energy, and alertness. While some are prescribed to treat conditions like ADHD or narcolepsy, misuse—especially in high doses or without a prescription—can lead to addiction. Stimulant use disorder is characterized by a strong craving for the drug, increased tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, and continued use despite harmful consequences to health, relationships, or employment.
Common stimulants include:
-
Cocaine
-
Methamphetamine
-
Prescription medications like Adderall, Ritalin, or Dexedrine
Long-term use can lead to serious physical and mental health issues, including anxiety, paranoia, heart problems, and cognitive decline.
