Recovery from Adderall abuse or addiction requires comprehensive addiction treatment.
At Nashville Treatment Solutions, we offer personalized approaches that may include:
During detox, the body processes and eliminates Adderall while symptoms are managed by addiction professionals This crucial first step focuses on safely managing withdrawal symptoms and stabilizing clients physically, creating a foundation for successful ongoing treatment.
Once detox is complete, residential treatment provides intensive therapy, medical monitoring, and a supportive environment away from triggers. Inpatient care offers 24/7 support and removes clients from environments that might contribute to substance use, allowing for full focus on recovery without outside distractions.
Partial Hospitalization Programming (PHP) is a structured treatment option that provides comprehensive care during the day while allowing patients to return home or to a sober living home in the evenings.
PHP offers many of the same therapeutic interventions as inpatient care but with greater flexibility, bridging the gap between residential treatment and less intensive outpatient services.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) is a stepdown from PHP that typically involves 9-12 hours of treatment per week spread across 3-4 days, allowing clients to maintain daily responsibilities while receiving substantial support.
IOP combines group and individual therapy with education about addiction, coping skills development, and relapse prevention strategies tailored to each client’s specific needs.
