Prescription Stimulants such as Adderall and Ritalin, are commonly used to increase alertness and energy—but when misused, these drugs can lead to serious health risks, emotional instability, and addiction. For many individuals, stimulant use begins with a prescription and escalates into dependency that is difficult to manage alone.
At Greenbranch Recovery in Egg Harbor Township, we provide specialized, evidence-based care for individuals struggling with stimulant addiction. Our goal is to help you regain control, restore your well-being, and build a strong foundation for lasting recovery.

Understanding the Dangers of Stimulants
Why Are Stimulants So Addictive?
Stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin are often prescribed for ADHD and narcolepsy because they enhance focus and concentration. However, when taken in higher doses or without a prescription, they increase dopamine levels in the brain, leading to euphoria, risky behavior, and eventually dependence.
Illicit stimulant use—including cocaine or methamphetamine—can cause even more extreme effects, including paranoia, aggression, and cardiovascular issues.
Recognizing the Signs of Stimulant Misuse
Whether the stimulant is prescribed or illicit, early signs of misuse include:
- Restlessness or insomnia
- Rapid heart rate or high blood pressure
- Mood swings, anxiety, or paranoia
- Appetite suppression and weight loss
- Obsessive behaviors or “crash” periods of fatigue
If you or someone you love is showing these symptoms, seeking help early can prevent serious long-term consequences. Call Greenbranch today at 609-622-5101 to learn more.
How Treatment for Stimulant Addiction Works
Detox Recovery Support
Unlike opioids or benzodiazepines, stimulant withdrawal typically does not require medical detox. However, psychological withdrawal—such as depression, fatigue, and cravings—can be intense. Greenbranch Recovery offers structured support to help individuals navigate this phase and start building a new routine.
Our programs emphasize skill-building, emotional regulation, and relapse prevention, all within a supportive and professional environment.
Tailored Stimulant Rehab Programs in New Jersey
At our New Jersey drug rehab, we offer tailored treatment plans that go beyond detox. We offer flexible, structured programs designed to help clients recover at their own pace:
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
PHP rehab provides a full-day treatment schedule for individuals who need intensive support during early recovery. It includes therapeutic services, education, and peer interaction in a safe, nurturing environment.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
IOP rehab is a step-down level of care that balances daily life with meaningful recovery work. This option is ideal for those transitioning from a higher level of care or for clients with strong external support systems.
Evidence-Based Therapies That Work
Treatment at Greenbranch Recovery includes scientifically backed approaches to target the underlying causes of stimulant use:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identifies thought patterns that drive compulsive use and offers healthier alternatives.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Builds distress tolerance and emotional management.
- Individual and Group Counseling: Offers guidance from therapists and support from peers.
- Family Therapy: Helps rebuild connections and improve communication with loved ones.

Holistic Support for Emotional and Mental Balance In Recovery
Stimulant use can disrupt the body’s natural rhythm and emotional balance. Greenbranch Recovery incorporates holistic therapies to help individuals regain mental clarity, manage stress, and support emotional healing:
- Yoga and mindfulness meditation to promote calm and focus
- Breathing techniques and grounding exercises to reduce cravings and anxiety
- Stress-reduction strategies that support long-term wellness
These holistic practices complement clinical care and empower individuals to manage triggers in daily life.
The Importance of Early Treatment for Stimulant Addiction
Preventing Mental and Physical Health Decline
Continued stimulant misuse can lead to insomnia, heart problems, and mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, and psychosis. Early intervention can reverse some of these effects and prevent long-term damage to both mind and body.
Addressing ADHD and Mental Health in Tandem
Many people begin using Adderall or Ritalin to manage symptoms of ADHD. When dependency forms, it’s critical to address both the addiction and any co-occurring mental health concerns. Our dual diagnosis treatment approach provides integrated care, helping clients develop healthier ways to manage focus, energy, and emotional regulation without relying on stimulants.
Building Resilience Through Community Support
Recovery is strengthened through connection. Our programs help individuals build lasting support systems through:
- Group therapy that fosters connection and accountability
- Family involvement to strengthen recovery at home
- Aftercare planning that supports long-term sobriety
With the right support in place, individuals can maintain momentum and thrive after treatment.
