What to know about prescription stimulants
Prescription stimulants include amphetamines such as Adderall, Vyvanse and Dexedrine, and methylphenidate products such as Ritalin and Concerta. They are Schedule II controlled substances. Taken as prescribed they help many people with ADHD; misused, they can lead to dependence, sleep problems, anxiety and heart strain.
Treatment for stimulant addiction centers on behavioral approaches, with contingency management having some of the strongest evidence. Learn how stimulant addiction is treated.
What stimulant detox involves
Stimulant detox is supportive care during the crash: sleep, meals, fluids and monitoring of mood. Many people can detox from prescription stimulants in an outpatient setting with regular check-ins, while residential or hospital detox suits people with severe depression, heavy use of several substances or medical problems.
Ask programs near Boston what support they offer for sleep and mood, and how they hand you off to ongoing treatment.

What helps with stimulant withdrawal?
Rest, regular meals, fluids, exercise as you are able, and support. Doctors may treat sleep problems or depression. There is no medication that reverses withdrawal.
