What Is Stimulant Withdrawal?
Stimulant withdrawal refers to the physical and psychological symptoms that occur when individuals abruptly stop or reduce their use of stimulants, such as cocaine, amphetamines, or prescription medications like Adderall. Withdrawal can also occur when the effects of the drug wear off.
Signs and Symptoms of Stimulant Withdrawal
Symptoms of stimulant withdrawal may include fatigue, depression, irritability, intense cravings, increased appetite, insomnia, and difficulty concentrating. These symptoms can vary in severity depending on the individual’s level of dependence, frequency of use, dosage taken, and duration of use.
STIMULANT WITHDRAWAL TIMELINE
The timeline for stimulant withdrawal varies from person to person based on usage habits and related factors. The timeline for stimulant withdrawal and detox generally is as follows:
- Days 1 to 3: During this initial period, after discontinuing stimulant use, individuals may experience intense cravings, fatigue, anxiety, irritability, depression, and body aches.
- Days 4 to 10: Withdrawal symptoms tend to peak during this period. Some people may also experience insomnia or excessive sleepiness, extreme fatigue, and continued irritability, depression, and cravings.
- Days 11 to 2 Weeks: Many of the acute withdrawal symptoms will have subsided by this time. However, some people may still experience mood swings, cravings, problems concentrating, problems sleeping, anxiety, and depression.
- Beyond 2 Weeks: By now, all physical stimulant withdrawal symptoms should have subsided. Some people may continue to experience PAWS (post-acute withdrawal syndrome) with psychological withdrawal symptoms like cravings, anxiety, or depression. PAWS can last for months or longer, with symptoms eventually subsiding.
HOW IS STIMULANT WITHDRAWAL TREATED?
Stimulant withdrawal is typically treated through a combination of medical supervision, behavioral therapy, and support services. At Music City Detox in Nashville, individuals undergoing stimulant withdrawal and detox treatment receive the following care:
- Medical supervision: Our experienced medical team monitors patients’ vital signs and manages any physical symptoms that occur during withdrawal. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) may be prescribed to alleviate specific symptoms or complications.
- Behavioral therapy: Counseling sessions and therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are often used to help patients address the underlying issues contributing to their stimulant addiction, develop coping strategies, and learn new ways to manage cravings and triggers.
- Group therapy: Being in a supportive environment with peers going through similar experiences can provide encouragement, motivation, and a sense of community during recovery.
- Holistic therapy: Using holistic therapies such as yoga, mindfulness, meditation, art therapy, or music therapy helps address the mind-body-spirit connection and enhances the recovery process.
- Aftercare planning: Developing a comprehensive aftercare plan for ongoing support and relapse prevention is crucial in sustaining recovery beyond detox. Our aftercare plans are personalized to each individual.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING STIMULANT DETOX?
During stimulant detox, withdrawal symptoms are managed by medical professionals to make the entire process bearable. People who attempt to detox on their own often fail because the withdrawal symptoms become too intense and severe. As a result, they relapse and return to using stimulants. With supervised detox, the risk of relapse is reduced.
Some detox treatment plans follow a tapering method that may be used in certain situations. Tapering helps the body to gradually adjust to lower dosages of stimulants while keeping withdrawal symptoms more manageable and less intense.
However, when tapering is used, it can increase the stimulant withdrawal timeline. In addition, when MAT is used, specific medications can be prescribed to help with anxiety, depression, and other withdrawal symptoms.
Once the body is free from stimulants, it is vital to remember detox is just the first step in the recovery process. It is highly recommended for people to transition to some form of continued care, such as a residential rehab program, partial hospitalization program, intensive outpatient program, or outpatient program.
