Stimulant Use Disorder is a substance use disorder involving the misuse of stimulant substances that increase alertness, energy, focus, and mood. Common stimulants include cocaine, crack cocaine, methamphetamine, and certain prescription stimulants when used outside medical guidance.
While stimulants may initially enhance performance or energy, prolonged use often leads to dependence, emotional instability, and significant disruption to physical health and daily functioning. At Resilience Recovery Center, we understand that stimulant use is often driven by underlying stress, trauma, burnout, mental health challenges, and pressure to perform.
Stimulant use disorder is not a lack of discipline. It is a treatable condition that requires structured, evidence-based care delivered with accountability and compassion.
Stimulant use disorder often creates a cycle of intense highs followed by emotional crashes that become increasingly difficult to manage. Over time, individuals may rely on stimulants to function at work, stay awake, manage stress, or cope with emotional discomfort.
Common impacts include extreme mood swings and emotional dysregulation, anxiety, paranoia, or depressive symptoms, disrupted sleep and exhaustion, declining work performance despite periods of over-functioning, impulsive decision-making and risk-taking behaviors, strained relationships and social isolation, and increased relapse risk during periods of stress or fatigue.
Many individuals appear high-functioning outwardly while experiencing significant internal instability.
Resilience Recovery Center was founded to address the real-world complexity of stimulant addiction. Traditional approaches often focus solely on abstinence without addressing emotional regulation, stress tolerance, and lifestyle factors that drive stimulant use.
Our philosophy emphasizes dignity, structure, and accountability. We help clients understand the function stimulants have served in their lives and develop healthier, sustainable ways to manage energy, focus, stress, and emotions.
Treatment is individualized, evidence-based, and designed to support long-term recovery rather than short-term crisis management.
Treatment for stimulant use disorder is based on clinical assessment, recovery history, and current stability. Services may include Outpatient or Intensive Outpatient programming.
Outpatient treatment supports individuals who are medically stable and able to maintain daily responsibilities while engaging in structured therapy and recovery support. Intensive Outpatient treatment provides increased clinical structure for those experiencing frequent cravings, emotional instability, or difficulty maintaining consistency with less intensive care.
Clients may transition between levels of care as recovery progresses.
Relapse prevention for stimulant use disorder requires more than avoiding substances. It requires learning how to manage fatigue, stress, cravings, and emotional discomfort without returning to stimulant use.
Our programs emphasize coping strategies for stress and burnout, healthy routines for sleep and energy regulation, impulse control and decision-making skills, accountability and structure in daily life, and planning for high-risk situations.
Clients learn practical tools they can apply immediately in real-world settings.
Stimulant use disorder frequently co-occurs with anxiety disorders, depression, trauma-related symptoms, ADHD, emotional dysregulation, and sleep disturbances. These conditions often both contribute to and worsen stimulant use.
Our integrated treatment model addresses mental health and stimulant use together through individual therapy, group therapy, psychoeducation, and neuroscience-informed strategies that focus on emotional regulation and stress management.
By treating both conditions together, we reduce relapse risk and support more stable recovery outcomes.
Our stimulant use disorder treatment programs are designed for adults who are motivated, or becoming motivated, to change. Many clients are working professionals, individuals experiencing burnout, or people who rely on stimulants to manage performance demands and stress.
Our outpatient-based model allows clients to receive meaningful treatment while remaining engaged in work, family, and community responsibilities whenever appropriate.
Sustainable recovery from stimulant use disorder often depends on addressing practical and lifestyle challenges alongside therapy.
Clients may receive case management and care coordination to address healthcare access, legal or financial stressors, job placement and vocational support to rebuild structure and purpose, connections to recovery-oriented housing when living environments increase relapse risk, holistic wellness services such as life coaching, nutrition guidance, and neuroscience-informed recovery strategies, and aftercare planning focused on long-term success.
These supports are intentionally integrated to strengthen recovery beyond treatment sessions.
