Dexadrine Abuse, Addiction and Recovery Options
It’s no secret that ADHD, ADD and other attention issues have risen in severity over the past several decades.
Dexadrine abuse and addiction continue to be a problem in the United States. Those who become addicted to this drug should consider going through both detox and rehab in order to recover. But so many do not realize they are addicted, or that they need help to stop taking this medication.
Because this drug is prescribed to treat ADHD and ADD, it is one that is often prescribed frequently. Doctors recommend it for both children and adults, and it is very easy to abuse it. Those who do often find that they become addicted to it. Once they are addicted, stopping it can be very difficult.
It is important for people to know as much about Dexadrine as possible. They need to know the risks of abuse and addiction, as well as how to recover. This is a drug that has had a dramatic impact in the State of Idaho as well as in other states in the mid and northwest.
What is Dexadrine Abuse?
In general, people often abuse Dexadrine because they have formed a tolerance to it. These individuals usually begin using it because they have a prescription for it to treat ADHD or ADD. It often does not take long for a person to become dependent on it.
Abusing any drug is very dangerous. Continued abuse can and often does lead to addiction because the brain becomes conditioned to need it.
Study drugs are very common on college campuses, and not just among those students that have prescriptions for them. Those with prescriptions have been known to hold them and sell them to other students. This is done in Idaho, Washington, and in many of our neighboring states.
The stress that can accompany final exams is difficult to deal with for college students. It often demands late night study sessions and early morning classes. Drugs like Dexadrine work by helping people stay awake and focus. Those who use them claim that they work well, which only drives people to abuse them repeatedly.

Forming an addiction to Dexadrine can happen very quickly. For some people, once they start abusing it, it does not take long before they feel like they need it all the time. This is because of the way the medication works in the brain. It increases dopamine levels, and in time, the brain stops producing this necessary chemical on its own.
People who are addicted to Dexadrine often have many of the following symptoms:
- Frequent irritability
- Frequent hallucinations
- Bouts of euphoria when high
- Nausea with or without vomiting
- Higher blood pressure than normal
- Compulsive behaviors
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Weight loss
When a loved one is addicted to a drug like Dexadrine, it is not always easy to tell. But it can help to know what types of addictive behaviors to look for. For instance, these individuals may display behaviors such as:
- Frequently complaining about having a dry mouth
- Difficulty with motor skills.
- Sexual dysfunction problems.
- Doctor shopping – which means visiting more than one doctor to get a prescription.
- Becoming withdrawal from friends, family and social events.
All of the above are very alarming, and they are certainly an indication that the person could be addicted to a dangerous drug. If this is the case, going to treatment is the best option.

Getting Treatment for Dexadrine Addiction
Because Dexadrine is an addictive drug, getting treatment is critical. Withdrawal symptoms can be difficult to deal with, which is why a quality treatment program is preferred.
Treating a Dexadrine addiction usually involves going through both detox and rehab. The detoxification process addresses the physical aspect of the addiction. It helps to reduce the severity of withdrawal symptoms and make them more manageable. Some people even find that a few of the most common symptoms are eliminated altogether with the proper treatment.
Rehab is the second step in recovering from a Dexadrine addiction. It involves various forms of therapy that are aimed toward addressing the reasons behind the person’s substance abuse problem. For many people, this means getting dual diagnosis treatment because they are diagnosed with a co-occurring disorder.
Northpoint Recovery’s 28-Day Program of Recovery
At Northpoint Recovery, we know the importance of addressing both sides of addiction. That is why we have a comprehensive, 28-day program that is designed to do exactly that.
For patients with a Dexadrine addiction, the first step is to enter into detox. This process allows the toxins to be eliminated from the body in an appropriate way. It can take 5-10 days to get through this phase of recovery. Afterwards, our patients transition to rehab, which is done right here at our facility.
