Learn More About Stimulant Addiction Treatment at Mirror Lake Recovery Center in Tennessee

Stimulants are a category of both legal and illicit substances that elicit a sense of increased energy, enhanced ability to focus, and improved motivation. Common legal stimulants include caffeine, nicotine, and the prescription medications Ritalin and Adderall. Cocaine and methamphetamine are among the stimulants whose possession and use is often illegal.

The prescription stimulants noted in the previous paragraph are most commonly prescribed to treat symptoms associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). These medications are also often abused by individuals who wish to take advantage of the drug’s ability to improve focus and concentration. Cocaine and methamphetamine are commonly abused for the intense euphoric rush that they provide, as well as the boost in energy. Regardless why a person abuses any stimulant, the potential negative impacts include temporary incapacitation, addiction, and even death. Becoming dependent upon stimulants, which is clinically referred to as stimulant use disorder, can be extremely difficult to overcome without effective entering a rehab center to receive professional intervention.

At Mirror Lake, our addiction treatment professionals have decades of combined experience working with men and women whose lives have been upended by stimulant use disorder, and we have developed effective comprehensive rehab programming to help people end their dependence upon stimulants and make the lifestyle changes that will support successful long-term recovery

Why Consider Treatment for Stimulant Addiction at Mirror Lake Recovery Center in Tennessee

The continued untreated abuse of stimulants puts individuals at risk for significant physical, mental, and emotional harm. Long-term stimulant abuse has been linked to several types of organ damage, including harm to the heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys. From a cognitive perspective, abusing stimulants increases the likelihood that a person will struggle to make and access memories, solve problems, and otherwise function at his or her best. People whose bodies and minds experience this damage as a result of stimulant abuse will have problems meeting their responsibilities at work or in school, and are unlikely to be able to productively participate in healthy interpersonal relationships. Additional negative outcomes such as family discord, academic failure and expulsion, job loss and unemployment, financial ruin, legal problems including arrest and incarceration, and homelessness become increasingly likely. Without effective professional intervention, continued stimulant abuse can take an individual down a dangerous and ultimately devastating path. Yet when a person enters treatment at a rehab center for his stimulant use disorder, past damage can be repaired, future devastation can be avoided, and the path of despair can be transformed into the road to recovery.
