Adderall Rehab

Even though Adderall is not prescribed in the UK anymore, some people still manage to get it through illegal ways. This can be really dangerous as without proper medical supervision; addiction can take hold before you know it. At Liberty House, we understand how tough it is to break free from addictive drugs like Adderall. We have worked with many people who felt like there was no way out, but we have seen them turn their lives around. Our team is here to help you find your way out, too, one step at a time.

What is Adderall rehab?

Adderall rehab, or Adderall addiction treatment as it is commonly called, is the professionally guided process of quitting Adderall. This is not an easy thing to do but drug rehab at Liberty House is a caring process that helps you say goodbye to Adderall and start fresh.

Our Adderall rehab process is a three-step journey:

  1. Drug detox
  2. Rehab therapy
  3. Aftercare and relapse prevention planning

Each of these stages is equally important for recovery, so we offer extended Adderall rehab stays to complete the first two. These range from an intensive two-week programme to an all-encompassing three-month stay where every aspect of drug addiction will be addressed.

Step 1. Adderall detox

When Adderall use has escalated, your brain adjusts to the drug so much that it forgets how to work without it. Quitting suddenly can then set off a negative reaction called withdrawal which you might know all too well if you’ve tried to stop before.

Common Adderall withdrawal symptoms include:

  • Your energy hitting rock bottom.
  • Suddenly feeling super hungry now that Adderall isn’t keeping your appetite down.
  • Sleeping way too much or struggling to sleep at all.
  • Intense Adderall cravings that seem to come out of nowhere.
  • Waves of sadness, frustration or anger that overwhelm you.

Some Adderall withdrawal symptoms can be more serious, but they are very rare:

  • Feeling so low or sad that it leads to thoughts of self-harm or suicide.
  • Anxiety so strong it feels like it’s taking over.
  • Seeing or hearing things that aren’t there or feeling like the world isn’t quite real.

While these can be dangerous if you go cold turkey at home, the team at Liberty House keeps a close watch out for any complications. We will give you a full medical assessment as soon as you arrive so we can understand your needs and plan accordingly.

Everyone is different; some people might need medicine to help with tricky symptoms, while others might need a comfortable space, lots of water and someone to talk to. We will figure out what works best for you and stick by your side the whole time.

Adderall withdrawal timeline

Everyone’s Adderall withdrawal experience is a little different because of different levels of dependency and the general state of their health. Most people, though, start noticing Adderall withdrawal symptoms within a day or two after quitting or significantly cutting their dose.
Around days three to five, things can feel the hardest. This is when your body and brain are really labouring to adjust without Adderall. Having Liberty House’s experienced detox to help you makes a huge difference during this stage.
Most of the intense stuff calms down after about a week. You might still feel cranky, tired or have trouble sleeping for a while afterwards, but those feelings don’t usually last beyond a couple of weeks. Adderall cravings might also show up now and then, but they usually get easier to deal with in the coming days and weeks.

Step 2. Adderall rehab therapy

Adderall rehab therapy is about figuring out what’s going on and why things feel so hard right now. Nobody’s here to judge you or point out all of the bad things you have done as a result of addiction – it is a chance to talk honestly and start putting the pieces together.
Sometimes, Adderall can feel like the answer when life gets overwhelming, helping you keep up with work, school or just the chaos of everyday stuff. But before you know it, Adderall can take over completely. Rehab therapy gives you the space to figure out what happened, so little by little, you can take back control.
It is important to understand that Adderall rehab isn’t about snapping your fingers and fixing everything overnight. As you go through stimulant rehab, you will start to notice things clicking into place – connecting the dots between your past and your Adderall use and what needs to change. It is a chance to build new habits and a way of living that doesn’t rely on Adderall.

Adderall rehab therapy at Liberty House Clinic

Adderall addiction can feel like a rollercoaster you can’t get off, but Liberty House will help you slow things down. Each day in Adderall rehab has its own rhythm, with time to dive into therapy and face the reality of why addiction occurred in the first place.

Our blend of traditional therapies and holistic treatments include:
One-on-one therapy where it’s just you and your therapist talking it out.
Group sessions where you can share with others who understand.
Family support sessions to rebuild connections and trust.
Relaxing holistic options like yoga therapy, meditation and art therapy.
Behavioural therapies and psychotherapy to dig into your habits and emotions.
Daily walks and activities to clear your head and recharge.
The beauty of so many choices is that you get to explore what works for you. It is often the approach you never expected that brings the biggest rewards so go into every therapy and treatment session open to new ideas.

Step 3. Aftercare and Adderall relapse prevention planning

Leaving Liberty House might feel a bit overwhelming, and it is natural to be nervous about stepping back into everyday life after Adderall rehab. We get it, so we spend so much time preparing you for this next step. Phase three of your recovery is all about setting you up with tools and strategies to handle tricky moments without looking back.

During your time in Adderall rehab, our team will help you put together a plan to stay on track once you leave. It is like having a cheat sheet for tricky moments like running into someone you used to take Adderall with, feeling overwhelmed at work or dealing with your personal responsibilities. This plan is built around everything you have learned in Adderall rehab and what works best for you.
Every week for the next year, you will then take part in free group therapy. This enables our team to check how your plan is going and whether any adjustments need to be made. You can talk about anything that is bothering you and get advice that can make a huge difference in relapse prevention.
You will also join the UKAT Alumni Network with everyone who has completed rehab with Liberty House and our partner centres. This fantastic group provides regular meet-ups, events and connections that keep recovery exciting and full of possibilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for your brain to go back to normal after stopping Adderall?
When you stop taking Adderall, your brain needs some time to get used to functioning without Adderall helping. This adjustment begins during Adderall detox, and for most people, things start to level out in a couple of weeks. For some, however, it can take a couple of months to feel completely back to normal, but don’t worry, your brain is amazing at healing, especially with a little time, support and self-care.
Does Adderall tongue go away?
“Adderall tongue” is when your mouth gets super dry, sore or swollen from taking Adderall. It happens because Adderall slows down how much saliva you make. The good news is that it usually clears up after you stop taking the drug in a week or so. In the meantime, drinking lots of water, chewing sugar-free gum and avoiding spicy or acidic foods can help make things feel better.
Will I gain weight if I stop taking Adderall?
Adderall can make you less hungry, so your appetite might roar back when you stop taking it. This can mean gaining a bit of weight but it’s not the same for everyone. Eating regular, balanced meals and staying active can help you manage any weight gain. If you do start to put a little weight on it, remember that your body is just finding its natural rhythm again, and that’s a good thing.
