Adderall is a prescription medication used for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It consists of a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine that can stimulate focus and alertness. For women who struggle with ADHD or narcol
epsy, Adderall can provide the help they need to harness their mental clarity and energy to succeed at work, school, and other responsibilities. Although Adderall can be a helpful drug for ADHD and narcolepsy, it also carries the potential for addiction. Thankfully, there are substance use treatment programs that can help you through.
At Crossroads, we understand the unique needs of women caring for their families. We aim to support all women through addiction, so they can get back to enjoying life to the fullest. Our holistic substance use treatment programs can treat the whole person rather than just the symptoms of addiction. Call us today at 877.978.1667 to learn more about how we can help you heal and move on to better health and happiness.
If your doctor prescribed Adderall to help treat ADHD or narcolepsy, it could be challenging to know if your use of the drug has transitioned to addiction. Over time, you may find that your dose no longer provides the same level of focus and want to increase it. As with any medication, taking more than the prescribed dose can have adverse side effects, including dependence and addiction.
Some women take Adderall without a prescription to experience a stimulating effect. The euphoric high and endless energy tempt many to use it to get through schoolwork and household responsibilities. Some women have also used Adderall to suppress appetite and accelerate weight loss. However, taking Adderall when you do not have an applicable medical condition can lead to side effects such as insomnia, agitation, and vomiting.
Here are a few signs that you may have a dependence on Adderall and could benefit from substance use treatment:
When Adderall use interferes with your health and happiness, finding the right substance abuse treatment program can help you get back on track.
If you have been using Adderall to help fuel your day, the thought of quitting can be worrisome. With the appropriate help, you can overcome your dependence on Adderall and learn how to achieve mental clarity and focus in natural ways that support your overall health and wellness.
Our care team will be available to help you through the recovery process from start to finish. The type of support may depend on if you are in a residential or outpatient program. Outpatient participants can usually access support via phone as needed, so you can always talk to someone if you are struggling.
Various therapies are available at our Adderall addiction treatment centers, including:
Your therapy program will be customized for your needs, so you can heal from unhealthy thought patterns and past trauma that are holding you back from living your best life.
