Specialized Drug Rehabilitation Center for Adults

At Silver Ridge, we offer specialized stimulant addiction treatment for adults in Asheville, NC. Stimulants are psychoactive drugs often prescribed for attention-deficit disorder and narcolepsy but are also commonly abused for recreational use. This misuse can lead to severe addiction, requiring professional treatment to overcome.

Common Stimulants

Some commonly abused stimulants include:

• Cocaine and crack cocaine
• Crystal meth
• Adderall
• Anabolic steroids
• Concerta
• Ecstasy
• Ritalin

Stimulants increase heart rate and brain function, boosting energy and focus, making them highly addictive. While prescription stimulants can help individuals when used correctly, abuse can lead to significant physical and mental health issues.

Stimulant Addiction Treatment at Silver Ridge

Silver Ridge in Asheville, NC, provides a comprehensive rehabilitation program tailored to adults struggling with stimulant addiction. Unlike many rehab centers that focus on adolescents and young adults, Silver Ridge caters specifically to the unique needs of adults.

Effects of Stimulant Abuse

Stimulants act quickly and their effects wear off just as rapidly, but the long-term consequences can be severe. Prolonged stimulant use disrupts the body’s natural ability to produce stimulating chemicals, leading to dependency.

Short-term effects of stimulant use include:

• Increased focus
• Rapid heart rate
• Arousal
• High energy
• Increased alertness
• Euphoria

Long-term effects of stimulant abuse may result in:

• Chronic tremors
• Abnormal heart rate (tachycardia)
• Hallucinations
• Tooth decay
• Insomnia
• Brain and organ damage
• Heart attack
