Adderall® Detox: Medically Managed, Safe, Comfortable

The Importance of Effective Adderall® Detox

Breaking Adderall® addiction can be extremely difficult and the first step towards recovery is effective detoxification to rid the body of toxins. Many times, what prevents the addict from taking that first step is fear… Fear of the unknown, fear of painful and life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, fear of being away from family and friends. They simply don’t know what to expect or if they’ll be able to handle the Adderall® detox process. That’s why choosing the right inpatient detox center is so important. Some detox facilities offer only vitamins, yoga, counseling and meditation and have no medical professionals on staff to monitor the physical and mental effects of detox. However, Dr. Patrick Gallus developed a safe, comfortable, medically-managed detox method to alleviate Adderall® withdrawal symptoms and make it easier for patients to successfully complete Adderall® detox.

At Gallus Detox Centers, patients receive personlized IV therapy and are monitored 24/7 by doctors, nurses and technicians to ensure their safety, and to make their stay more pleasant, patients enjoy a luxury setting with upscale private rooms, gourmet meals, Wifi, HD-TV and massage. We also encourage patients to remain in close touch with their families and friends during the detox process—having them stay nearby and visit often if possible.

After Adderall® Detox

We urge patients to consider a drug rehab faciiity for their next step, along with joining support groups, long-term counseling and/or therapy. Our Gallus Detox Team can help you find a rehab center for the next phase of rehabilitation and recovery.

Facts About Adderall® and Adderall® Addiction

What Is Adderall?

Adderall® is the brand name of a prescription drug primarily used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or narcolepsy—a condition that involves falling asleep uncontrollably and at unusual times. It increases concentration, boosts energy levels, and fights off fatigue. When prescribed for ADHD or narcolepsy and used properly, Adderall® can be very effective. There are also generic forms of this brand-name drug which have similar benefits, side effects and addictive qualities.

How Does Adderall® Work?

The drug releases neurological chemicals that stimulate interaction between neurons, allowing a person to think more fluidly. In addition, it affects heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and metabolism.

Adderall® Addiction/Abuse

Adderall® can be habit-forming and lead to serious physical and psychological problems. High risk of addiction and dependence may lead to theft or “doctor shopping”—simultaneously requesting care from multiple physicians. It can be abused in many different ways. Some individuals take it orally, as prescribed by a physician. Others may inject, snort or smoke Adderall® in order to get “high.” Some people may abuse it just to lose weight since weight loss is a common side effect caused by this drug. Some students start using Adderall® simply because they feel that the drug enhances their performance in school.

Dangers of Adderall® Addiction/Abuse

The consequences of Adderall® abuse can be severe. Taking high doses of the stimulant may produce an irregular heart beat, extremely high body temperature, and even the potential for seizures of cardiovascular failure. Ingesting the drug for a prolonged period of time may lead to hostility and paranoia. Due to the fact that Adderall® may increase blood pressure, it carries the risk of a stroke, heart attack or sudden death.

Pregnant women should avoid using Adderall®: While there is no definite proof that the drug can harm an unborn child, it could cause premature birth, low birth weight, or withdrawal symptoms in a newborn.

Adderall® Withdrawal Symptoms

Do-it-yourself Adderall® detox at home is not advised. Not only is it unlikely to be successful but sudden discontinuation of this drug may lead to severe, even life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, including:

  • Delusions
  • Hallucinations
  • High blood pressure
  • Sweating
  • Seizures
  • Muscle pain
  • Dehydration
