Stimulant Addiction
Treatment in Massachusetts
Stimulants, often called “uppers,” are substances that can enhance energy levels, sharpen focus, and create feelings of euphoria. While they have legitimate medical uses—such as treating ADHD and narcolepsy—the misuse of stimulants can lead to debilitating addiction, affecting both physical and mental health.
Empower Health Group in Western Massachusetts is here for anyone ready to take the first step toward freedom from addiction. With compassionate, evidence-based care, we help individuals rediscover who they are and create a future they’re proud of.
The Effects of
Stimulant Misuse
Stimulant drugs—including cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription medications like Adderall and Ritalin—can have profound effects on the body. These substances increase heart rate and blood pressure, heighten alertness and energy levels, and create a euphoric but short-lived high.
However, prolonged misuse can lead to:
- Physical Dependence – The body becomes reliant on the drug, leading to withdrawal symptoms when not in use.
- Psychological Addiction – The intense craving for stimulants can dominate an individual’s thoughts and behaviors, making it difficult to quit without professional help.
- Severe Health Risks – Long-term use can contribute to heart disease, stroke, anxiety, paranoia, and other life-threatening conditions.
At Empower Health Group, we specialize in treating addiction to stimulants by addressing both the physical dependency and the underlying emotional triggers that fuel substance use.
