Dealing with Adderall Addiction
By Newport Coast | December 16, 2007
Adderall is a stimulant in the class of amphetamines. Many psychiatrists prescribe this medication for ADHD patients, and this is most common in children under the age of 21, however many college students have legitimate prescriptions.
The fact that adderall is so commonly prescribed can lead to problems in minors and college students selling or otherwise providing pills to their friends. As an amphetamine, adderall has the potential for addiction. If you or a family member finds themselves addicted to adderall, treatment is advisable.
Adderall addiction can lead to methamphetamine addiction, which often occurs when the user needs a more potent form of amphetamine. Crystal meth works in the same basic way as amphetamines like adderall, the main difference is that it’s more potent (less is required to achieve the same effect).
Whether it’s meth or adderall, amphetamine addictions can be very serious. Drug rehab for amphetamines is generally the best way to treat the addiction. If you find yourself or a family member addicted to amphetamines, contact Newport Coast Recovery to set up a plan for rehab today
