TREATMENT FOR AMPHETAMINE ADDICTION

Amphetamine is a central nervous system stimulant that affects neurotransmitters in the brain. It is prescribed to treat conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), narcolepsy, and obesity. It works by increasing the release of dopamine and norepinephrine, leading to heightened alertness, increased focus and elevated mood.

“Amphetamine has a high potential for abuse and addiction due to its stimulating effects on the brain’s reward pathways.”

Recreational use has increased steadily in recent years with continued use leading to tolerance, dependence and a range of harmful health effects; including cardiovascular problems, psychosis and even death. The illegal production of amphetamine (often methamphetamine), also contributes to societal issues including crime and drug addiction.

Risks of Abusing Amphetamine

Amphetamine abuse poses serious risks to both physical and mental well-being. Addiction to amphetamine is known to cause devastating consequences for individuals, families, and local communities. Seeking professional help from treatment centres like One Step Rehab is recommended when amphetamine abuse becomes uncontrollable.

Amphetamine Withdrawal and Detox

Amphetamine withdrawal symptoms can vary in severity and duration depending on factors such as frequency of use, dosage and length of time someone has been using. A medically supervised detox may be required.

Common withdrawal symptoms include:

  • Fatigue
  • Cognitive issues
  • Physical discomfort
  • Persistent cravings
  • Depression and mood swings
