Stimulant Addiction Treatment
Stimulant addiction changes how the brain handles energy, sleep, and reward, and recovering from those changes takes structured care. At Merritt Recovery, treatment for you or your loved one begins with safe medical detox and continues through therapy and long-term aftercare, each step grounded in evidence.
How Merritt Recovery Treats Stimulant Addiction
Stimulant addiction involves drugs like cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription amphetamines, and the treatment path starts with a clinical assessment that determines the right level of care for you or your loved one. Withdrawal from stimulants tends to look less like the physical crash of other substances and more like heavy fatigue, low mood, disrupted sleep, and strong cravings. When those symptoms need medical oversight, medically supervised detox keeps the person stable and safe. From there, care usually moves into residential treatment or an intensive outpatient program, depending on the assessment. Depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions frequently sit underneath stimulant use, so we treat them alongside the addiction rather than as a separate problem. That combined approach gives recovery a steadier footing.
Therapies We Use
No two people arrive with the same history, so each care plan is built from the therapies that fit the diagnosis in front of us. That usually means individual sessions grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy, the shared accountability of group therapy, and family support for the people closest to you. When it is clinically appropriate, medication-assisted treatment is added to steady the process.
