Christian Amphetamine Prescription Addiction Treatment

Definition

Amphetamine prescription pills are classified as narcotic stimulants that affect the central nervous system by increasing its activity. Their chemical structure closely resembles adrenaline as well as noradrenaline which is produced naturally in the body. More in particular, these type of pills effect the brain’s dopamine and norepinephrine neurotransmitter system. They are primarily prescribed for issues relating to Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), weight loss and narcolepsy (a sleeping disorder). The main chemical compounds used for such purposes are: pharmaceutical grade methamphetamine, methylphenidate (Ritalin) and of course, amphetamine. These amphetamine prescription pills posses the same potency and ability of other dangerous narcotic drugs to form a habit or addiction as well as to overdose or even worse…die. For these reasons alone, doctors are now more reluctant to openly prescribe amphetamine prescription pills.

Amphetamine prescription pills are abused due to providing the user a euphoria-like adrenaline rush. Other reasons include: helps the user stay awake for longer periods of time, reduces tiredness, improves sports and academic performance, increases endurance and to further boost self-confidence. Woman in particular have a strong tendency to abuse these types of pills as they feel amphetamine prescriptions help them turn into a “Wonder Woman” now having the energy to fulfill all of the daily household chores/tasks and to help them fight off obesity.

The symptoms and effects of amphetamine prescription pills abuse are similar to that of meth, but with less severe consequences since these type of prescription pills are manufactured in a controlled environment with much safer chemicals. When abused in high doses in a short period of time, it has been observed for the user to experience symptoms closely related to paranoid schizophrenia and only upon abstinence from crashing will the user regain touch with reality. This process can take up to a couple of weeks before the user feels more like their normal self. When mixed with alcohol the user can expect to display aggressive and violent behaviors.

Amphetamine prescription pills come in different colors and shapes and besides being taken orally, they can be snorted, smoked or injected into the veins. The majority of amphetamine prescription overdose deaths are from being intravenously injected. Because the user enjoys the euphoria amphetamine pills provide, they take more of them until a tolerance is developed requiring them to take higher doses to get the same effect. The vicious cycle of addiction continues because once the user is hooked, they will experience extreme bouts of depression (from dopamine depletion) when undergoing withdrawals. To avoid said withdrawal symptoms, the user will display behaviors congruent to criminals to obtain more amphetamine prescription pills. It is possible to be addicted to amphetamine prescriptions both psychologically, emotionally or physically. Unfortunately, central nervous system damages may take months to overcome even when the user is no longer abusing amphetamine prescription pills. Some of the more well known amphetamine prescription pills are Ritalin, Adderall, Dexedrine, Concerta, Vyvanse, etc.

Treatment for Amphetamine Prescription Addiction

Treatment of an amphetamine prescription addiction is very similar to a methamphetamine addiction which requires an extremely skilled therapeutic team. Before starting this Christian treatment process, the first thing to accomplish will be finding the right detox facility. A detoxification facility can help better manage withdrawal symptoms medically, or you bypass this step altogether as withdrawing from amphetamine prescription addiction will not risk the addicts life. The other form of detoxing is on a social level through the help of the therapist and your treatment group family.

The next best step will be to admit yourself into an inpatient residential Christian drug rehab. The treatment for amphetamine prescription addiction needs to include cognitive behavioral therapy as well as a strict program providing integrity and accountability. Group, individual and family Christian treatment sessions are equally crucial. Another important part of treating an amphetamine prescription addiction is to involve outdoor experiential therapies to help you grow and learn outside of the group room. The amphetamine addict must learn different ways of enjoying themselves in a sober environment. Many amphetamine prescription addicts seem to struggle with routine and boring activities and crave opportunities to achieve another “ dopamine rush”.
