Understanding the Program
What Is Stimulant Use Disorder?
Stimulants are a class of substances that increase brain activity, energy levels, and attention span. While stimulant medications, such as those for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), are prescribed for mental disorders, misuse can lead to substance use disorders. Illegal drugs like cocaine also fall under this category and are associated with dangerous addictive behaviors.
Prolonged stimulant use impacts mental health indicators, increasing risks of violent behavior and impulsivity. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the effects of cocaine and other stimulants include mood swings, paranoia, and attention deficits. People with stimulant use disorder often experience worsened symptoms of pre-existing conditions, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, and anxiety.
Effective treatment begins with evidence-based methods. Treatments for stimulant use focus on behavioral interventions and contingency management. The Matrix Model, a psychosocial treatment framework, has proven highly successful in managing addiction.
Both inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment programs are available for stimulant use disorders.

Recovery from stimulant use disorder is possible — with the right support, evidence-based care, and a plan built for you.
