Compassionate Recovery for Amphetamine Addiction
At Anchored Recovery Community, we specialize in treating individuals struggling with amphetamine addiction in Orange County, including substances like Adderall, Dexedrine, and other prescription or illicit stimulants. Our outpatient programs offer holistic, personalized care to help clients reclaim their lives in a supportive, trauma-informed environment.
What Is Amphetamine Addiction?
Amphetamines are stimulants that increase activity in the brain and body. Prescription amphetamines such as Adderall and Dexedrine are used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy, and when taken as directed they can be helpful. Misuse includes taking higher doses than prescribed, using someone else’s prescription, or crushing and snorting pills to feel more focused, energetic, or euphoric.
With repeated misuse, the brain begins to depend on amphetamines to feel normal, and stopping becomes difficult. Students and professionals under pressure are especially vulnerable. Amphetamine addiction is closely related to meth addiction and cocaine addiction, and our outpatient programs treat all stimulant use disorders.
Signs and Symptoms of Amphetamine Addiction
Common signs that amphetamine use has become a problem include:
- Taking more than prescribed or running out of a prescription early
- Seeking prescriptions from multiple doctors
- Decreased appetite, weight loss, and trouble sleeping
- Racing thoughts, restlessness, irritability, or anxiety
- Feeling unable to work or study without the drug
- Crashes marked by exhaustion and low mood
- Continuing to use despite health or relationship problems

We Accept Most Major
Insurance Plans

Amphetamine Withdrawal and Detox
When someone stops using amphetamines after regular misuse, they often experience a crash. Symptoms can include fatigue, depression, increased sleep, increased appetite, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and cravings. These symptoms are rarely life-threatening, but depression during withdrawal should be taken seriously.
If supervision is needed, Anchored coordinates with trusted medical detox partners before outpatient care begins. For people with ADHD, our clinicians also help coordinate a safe plan with prescribing providers, so underlying symptoms are treated without returning to misuse.
Understanding Amphetamine Addiction
Amphetamines are powerful stimulants often prescribed for ADHD and narcolepsy. However, misuse or long-term use can lead to physical dependence, mental health issues, and dangerous behavioral changes. Our expert team is here to guide individuals toward sustainable recovery.

Amphetamine Addiction Treatment FAQs
Have questions about getting started? Here are answers to the ones we hear most often. You can also contact our admissions team any time, day or night.
Is Adderall addiction treated differently from meth addiction?
The core approach is similar because both are stimulants. Treatment for prescription amphetamine misuse also includes coordinating with prescribers and addressing ADHD symptoms, work or school stress, and other underlying needs.
How long does amphetamine withdrawal last?
The crash usually improves within one to two weeks. Mood changes, fatigue, and cravings can last longer, which is why ongoing outpatient support helps prevent relapse.
Do I need detox before starting outpatient treatment?
It depends on the substance, how much and how long you have been using, and your overall health. Our admissions team will assess your needs and, if detox is recommended, coordinate with a trusted medical detox partner so you can move straight into our programs afterward.
Does insurance cover amphetamines addiction treatment?
Most major insurance plans cover addiction treatment, including PHP, IOP, and outpatient care. Verify your insurance online or learn more about paying for treatment.
