Amphetamine Addiction Treatment
Amphetamine addiction can take control of your life before you realize what’s happening. What might start as prescribed medication for ADHD or narcolepsy, or recreational use at parties, can quickly evolve into a dependency that affects your health, relationships, career, and overall well-being.

Our Treatment Process
At Nashville Treatment Solutions, our programs are tailored to the individual needs of each client. However, the steps to treatment typically include:
Comprehensive Assessment
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your medical history, substance use patterns, mental health, and personal circumstances to develop a clear understanding of your unique needs, ensuring that you’re clinically and medically fit to be successful in our programming.
Safe Detox & Withdrawal Management
While amphetamine addiction doesn’t typically cause severe physical withdrawal symptoms like opioids or alcohol, it can still be a difficult experience to navigate. If detox is needed, our programs ensure you undergo this process in a safe, monitored setting with professional support.
Those who do experience withdrawal may find it psychologically distressing, with symptoms such as fatigue, increased appetite, sleep disturbances, and intense drug cravings.
Though there are no specific medications approved to treat amphetamine withdrawal, our medical team can provide medications that help relieve psychological discomforts, including:
- Sleep aids for insomnia
- Antidepressants for mood disturbances
- Anti-anxiety medications for heightened anxiety or agitation
Individualized Therapy Plans
Following detox, we develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, challenges, and recovery goals.
This comprehensive approach includes a combination of evidence-based therapies such as
Your therapy plan adapts as you progress, ensuring it remains relevant and effective throughout your recovery journey.
Aftercare
We recognize that recovery extends far beyond your time in primary treatment.
Our comprehensive aftercare program provides the ongoing support and resources necessary for sustained sobriety. This includes developing a detailed relapse prevention plan, connecting you with community support groups, offering continuing therapy sessions, alumni programs, and sober living arrangements if needed.
We maintain regular check-ins to address any challenges and celebrate your successes, ensuring you never have to navigate recovery alone.
How Do I Know I Need Amphetamine Addiction Treatment?
Recognizing when recreational use or prescribed medication has crossed the line into addiction can be challenging, especially when it comes to amphetamines.
Many people begin using these substances for legitimate reasons—to treat ADHD, manage narcolepsy, or even to enhance performance or lose weight. Over time, however, the brain’s chemistry adapts to the presence of amphetamines, making it increasingly difficult to function normally without them.
Amphetamine addiction rarely announces itself clearly; instead, it typically reveals itself through changes in your behaviors, priorities, and daily functioning. You might notice that what began as occasional use has become regular, or that your prescribed dosage no longer seems sufficient.
Perhaps friends or family have expressed concern, or you’ve caught yourself being dishonest about your use. These subtle shifts can be easy to dismiss or rationalize, but they often signal a developing problem that requires professional intervention.
Consider seeking help if you experience several of these warning signs:
- Using amphetamines in larger amounts or for longer than intended
- Making unsuccessful attempts to cut down
- Spending excessive time obtaining, using, or recovering from amphetamines
- Experiencing strong cravings that distract you from other activities.
- You might notice that you’re failing to fulfill important obligations at work, school, or home, or continuing to use despite persistent relationship problems.
- Many people also find themselves abandoning previously enjoyed activities, using in dangerous situations, or continuing despite awareness of physical or psychological harm.
- Physical signs like developing tolerance or experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not using are particularly strong indicators that your body has become dependent.
If you recognize yourself in these descriptions, it may be time to reach out for professional help. Remember that seeking treatment isn’t a sign of weakness but rather a courageous step toward reclaiming control of your life and health.
