Understanding Stimulant Misuse
Prescription stimulants are common in high pressure jobs and on campus, and misuse often looks like productivity until it does not.
Read about Adderall misuse among professionals. We also treat cocaine and other stimulants.
Recognizing the Pattern
Misuse can happen with or without a prescription.
Our Approach
Treatment rebuilds what the pills were covering for.
We treat ADHD alongside substance use but do not provide ADHD testing or prescribe ADHD medication. If you are not sure whether it is burnout or depression, your assessment will help sort it out.
Programs
Care is built around work, school and the pressure that comes with both.
Career Focused
Discreet care built around demanding schedules and high expectations.
Ages 18 to 26
Support for students and young adults, with family involvement when it helps.
After Work
Tuesday through Thursday, 5:15 to 8:15 pm, in person or virtual, so you can keep working.
Guides and Resources
Clinician-written articles on stimulant misuse, burnout and what recovery looks like.

No. We coordinate with your prescriber.
We are private pay and provide superbills you can submit for out-of-network reimbursement. You can check your benefits with our out-of-network benefits check.
Taking more than prescribed or taking it earlier in the day, using someone else’s prescription, running out before refills, crashing between doses, trouble sleeping, weight loss, irritability and panic. Needing it to feel normal rather than focused is the clearest signal.
Most people describe heavy fatigue, low mood, increased appetite and trouble concentrating for one to two weeks, sometimes longer. It is rarely medically dangerous, but depression during the crash is common and is treated directly rather than waited out.
Yes. Our psychiatric providers evaluate whether ADHD is present, what has genuinely been helping and what has not, and build a plan that treats both rather than one at the expense of the other.
For most people, yes. Evening IOP runs Tuesday through Thursday, 5:15 to 8:15 pm, in person or virtual, and the three day IOP schedule is built around a full time job. Your clinician is honest with you if the schedule you want is not enough treatment.
