Stimulant detoxStimulant programWhat to know about prescription stimulants
Vyvanse, Ritalin and Concerta are sometimes seen as safer than Adderall, but all prescription stimulants carry a risk of misuse and addiction. Snorting or injecting pills, or taking far more than prescribed, raises the danger.
Stopping after heavy use brings a withdrawal period of fatigue, increased sleep, appetite changes and low mood. Our stimulant withdrawal guide explains what to expect.
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 Rhode Island what support they offer for sleep and mood, and how they hand you off to ongoing treatment.

Using your insurance
Before you call a program, have your insurance card ready and ask three things: is the program in network, does the level of care need prior authorization, and what will you owe after the deductible. Plans regulated by federal parity law cannot set stricter limits on addiction care than on comparable medical care. Our insurance guides walk through major carriers.
