Understanding Stimulants
Stimulant use disorder is a pattern of cocaine, methamphetamine, or prescription stimulant use that continues despite harm to health, work, relationships, or finances. Stimulants flood the brain with dopamine, which is why the first months of stopping often bring low mood, exhaustion, and intense cravings.
Many of the adults we see are high-functioning. Use may start on weekends, at work events, or to keep up with long hours, and it often travels with alcohol. Our team offers meth addiction treatment and Adderall addiction treatment alongside cocaine care, because the recovery work is closely related.
Recognizing the Pattern
Our Approach
There is no FDA-approved medication for stimulant use disorder, so treatment centers on evidence-based therapy, structure, and support. We focus on the triggers that keep use going and the conditions underneath it, with psychiatric medication management for co-occurring depression, anxiety, or ADHD when clinically appropriate.
Therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy and relapse prevention help you map triggers, manage cravings, and rebuild routines, especially around nights out and high-pressure weeks.
Connection
Groups with others in recovery make it easier to talk honestly, practice new skills, and stay accountable between sessions.
Whole Person
Depression, anxiety, trauma, burnout, and ADHD-related impulsivity are treated in the same plan through dual diagnosis care, so the reasons for use are addressed directly.
Early Recovery
Stimulant withdrawal is rarely medically dangerous on its own, but it is uncomfortable and it is when relapse risk is highest.
Common cocaine withdrawal symptoms include fatigue, increased sleep, low mood, irritability, poor concentration, increased appetite, and strong cravings. For some people, low mood can be severe. If you have thoughts of harming yourself, call 911 or call or text 988 right away.
In the first weeks, we add structure where it matters most: more contact with your team, plans for evenings and weekends, sleep and nutrition routines, and support for the people around you. If alcohol or other substances are also involved and withdrawal could be risky, we help coordinate medical care first.
