Whether it’s Adderall, cocaine, or meth, stimulant addiction takes a toll on the body and mind. At BloomRecovery, we offer a compassionate, evidence-based path to lasting recovery.
Stimulants are substances that elevate mood, energy, and focus by increasing dopamine activity in the brain. While some stimulants are legally prescribed to treat ADHD or narcolepsy, they are frequently misused for performance enhancement or recreational highs. Over time, the brain becomes depleted, leading to emotional instability, exhaustion, and addiction.

What are common types of stimulants?
Stimulants include prescription medications like Adderall, Ritalin, and Dexedrine, as well as illegal drugs like cocaine and methamphetamine. They increase alertness and energy but can also lead to addiction and emotional crashes.
How do you treat stimulant addiction?
Treatment includes behavioral therapy, emotional regulation strategies, nutritional recovery, and support groups. Since there are no FDA-approved medications for stimulant addiction, therapy and structure are especially important.
At BloomRecovery, we understand how quickly stimulant use can spiral out of control. Our program addresses the root causes of addiction and helps restore physical and mental balance through structured therapy, life skills training, and community support.
You don’t need stimulants to feel focused, confident, or capable. Let BloomRecovery help you build real, sustainable energy and peace.
