Stimulant Addiction Treatment
Wondering how to help your loved one stop using cocaine or methamphetamine? At Dunham Institute, treatment starts with safe medical detox and moves through evidence-based therapy into long-term aftercare. We build each plan around one person at a time. Recovery is a process, and we walk it with you.
How Dunham Institute Treats Stimulant Addiction
Wondering what treatment for cocaine, meth, or prescription stimulant dependence actually looks like? It starts with a clinical assessment that determines the right level of care for you or your loved one, because the answer differs from person to person.
Stimulant withdrawal is less about physical danger and more about the crash: exhaustion, heavy depression, intense cravings, and sometimes suicidal thinking. Where symptoms warrant it, we provide medically supervised detox to keep that period safe and monitored. From there, treatment moves into residential care or a step-down intensive outpatient program, depending on your needs.
When depression, anxiety, or another mental health condition is part of the picture, we treat it alongside the addiction. Not in a separate track. Together.
Therapies We Use
Wondering what treatment actually looks like day to day? Your care plan combines proven approaches built around your needs. That means cognitive behavioral therapy to change harmful thought patterns, group therapy for shared accountability, and family support so the people who care about you understand the process. When clinically appropriate, we add medication-assisted treatment. One coordinated plan, adjusted as your loved one progresses.
