Medically Assisted Adderall Detoxification
Medically Assisted Adderall Detoxification
Adderall is a habit-forming prescription stimulant most commonly used to treat attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other similar psychological conditions. Adderall is an amphetamine, meaning that it works by increasing the norepinephrine and dopamine levels present in the central nervous system, impacting the focus and attention span of the individual who is taking the medication. When taken exactly as prescribed by a medical professional, this prescription stimulant can be extremely beneficial. Unfortunately, its high potential for abuse and ease of access have made Adderall one of the most commonly abused prescription drugs throughout the country.
Young adults and adolescents make up the demographic that abuses this specific prescription medication the most frequently. A recent study published by John Hopkins University found that Adderall abuse was the highest amongst young adults aged 18 to 25. Individuals in this age group most commonly obtain the medication from family members or friends without a medical recommendation or a professionally written prescription. If you have been suffering at the hands of an Adderall abuse disorder of any severity, seeking professional treatment through a medically monitored detox facility is always necessary. Immersion Recovery Center has developed an effective, comprehensive and highly individualized program of Adderall detox, serving men and women of all ages in Southern Florida and all surrounding areas.

Adderall Abuse & Addiction – Signs & Symptoms
Once an individual becomes physically and psychologically dependent on Adderall, he or she might feel unable to process basic information or function cognitively at a basic level unless the drug is present in the system.
Signs and symptoms associated with Adderall abuse include:
- Attempting to cut back on Adderall intake or quit use altogether, but only being able to cut back or quit for a brief period of time until psychological cravings become overwhelming.
- Continuing to take Adderall despite an accumulation of interpersonal consequences, which could include legal issues, financial issues, issues at work or school or problems in relationships.
- Becoming unable to complete menial, day-to-day tasks without the use of Adderall.
- Feeling sluggish or tired unless actively taking Adderall.
- Neglecting personal responsibilities and obligations.
- Spending less time with family and friends and failing to engage in activities that were previously enjoyed.
- Spending an excessive amount of time obtaining, abusing and recovering from the effects of the drug.
- Attempting to obtain more than one prescription at a time by visiting numerous doctors, or “doctor shopping.”
- Attempting to purchase – or steal – prescription stimulants from friends or acquaintances who have a prescription.
- Developing a physical tolerance over time, meaning that more Adderall is required in order for the same effects to be felt.
- Experiencing uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms several hours after use is stopped abruptly.

Adderall Withdrawal – Signs & Symptoms
While Adderall withdrawal is not typically dangerous and is rarely ever life-threatening, the associated symptoms can be harshly uncomfortable and extremely disruptive when not adequately treated in a medical detox facility. The withdrawal process always differs on a person-to-person basis and relies on a number of factors, including the length of the substance abuse disorder, the amount being taken on a daily basis, the presence of any underlying mental health conditions and the presence of any other chemical substances in the system.
Symptoms most commonly associated with Adderall withdrawal include:
- Depression and feelings of hopelessness
- Mood swings, typically marked by frustration, agitation and irritability
- Disrupted sleep patterns/either sleeping too much or too little
- Lethargy and an extreme lack of energy, making it difficult to do anything at all
- Increased appetite, which could lead to temporary weight gain
- Issues thinking or focusing/difficulty concentrating
- Aches, pains and general physical discomfort
- Significant anxiety, which could potentially lead to panic attacks if left untreated
- Self-criticism, which could spiral into suicidal ideation
When it comes to Adderall withdrawal, the psychological are typically much more severe than the physical symptoms. At Immersion Recovery Center we treat all symptoms as they arise.
Why is Medical Detox Necessary for Adderall Addiction?
Medical detox is a necessary first step on the road to Adderall addiction recovery for numerous reasons. Based on the initial clinical and medical assessment that is conducted upon admission to our detox program program, a combination of effective detox techniques is employed. In many cases, Medication Assisted Treatment is necessary. The medications our team of prescribing physicians commonly utilize to treat symptoms associated with Adderall withdrawal include:
- Antidepressants
- Non-narcotic sleep medications
- Anti-anxiety medications
- Safe over-the-counter pain medications
At Immersion Recovery Center we provide our clients with a fully stocked kitchen and daily chef-prepared meals. In many instances, individuals who have been abusing Adderall for an extended period of time come to us suffering from malnourishment. This prescription stimulant is an appetite suppressant, and weight loss is a very common symptom of Adderall abuse. Having nutritious snacks and meals available throughout the day is extremely important to the healing process.
