What 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.
Therapies that work for stimulant addiction
Contingency management gives small rewards for drug-free urine tests and has strong evidence for stimulant use disorder. The Matrix Model combines individual and group therapy, family education and relapse prevention in a structured outpatient schedule. Community reinforcement helps rebuild work, relationships and activities that compete with drug use.
The programs on this page report one or more of these approaches. Confirm the details with each program near San Diego.

Not every situation calls for a residential stay. We list 145 programs within 25 miles of San Diego that report intensive outpatient, day treatment or regular outpatient services.
