Michigan Stimulant Detox

Michigan Medical Detoxification Center

People use stimulants to feel more alert and energetic. While useful in certain situations, stimulants have serious effects on the mind and body and should only be used in moderation. Once you have developed a dependency to a stimulant, you should seek help from a medical detoxification center to help you manage withdrawal symptoms so you can purge the drugs from your body once and for all.

Stimulants include drugs such as:

• Ritalin
• Adderall
• Cocaine
• Methamphetamine (meth)
• Speed
• Dexedrine
• Ecstasy

The Effects of Stimulant Withdrawal

Stimulant withdrawal often begins immediately after a person stops using them. These symptoms can be difficult for both mind and body, and the temptation to return to the drug to stop them will be strong. Having an Addiction Medicine specialist supervise your detox will help you manage withdrawal and resist the temptation to return to your addiction.

The detoxification process for stimulants:

• Week 1: You will likely feel depressed and irritable during this time. Nausea, difficulty sleeping, and general discomfort is to be expected. Towards the end of the week, you may start feeling anxious, apathetic, and paranoid.
• Week 2: The worst of the withdrawal symptoms will be over at this point. You should start feeling a little better, but you will still feel some discomfort and cravings.
• Week 3: Cravings may start to get worse by this point, which may result in increased aggression and depression. At the same time, your body should start becoming more energy-efficient, making it easier to stay active and get on a regular sleep schedule.
• Week 4: After this week, the final traces of stimulants should be purged from your system. You may still feel some cravings and discomfort, but now you should be able to get back to your life and put these symptoms to rest for good.

Detoxing from any drug is not easy, but it can be done with determination and professional help. At Detox Expert, we provide Medication Assisted Treatment and can provide you with medicine to help manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
