Stimulants Detox & Addiction Treatment
Get expert care for withdrawal from cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription stimulants. Your recovery starts with compassionate, medically supervised detox.
At Orange County Detox Center, we help individuals safely detox from stimulant drugs like cocaine, meth, Adderall, and other amphetamine-based substances. Stimulant withdrawal can bring on intense emotional and physical symptoms — from extreme fatigue to depression and agitation. Our licensed clinical team is here 24/7 to guide you through the detox process with individualized care, symptom management, and a clear path to ongoing recovery. Whether you’re coming off a prescription stimulant or street drugs, your safety and healing are our top priorities.
The stimulant withdrawal timeline refers to the physical and emotional symptoms that follow discontinuation of stimulant use. Withdrawal can begin within hours after the last dose and may last up to 2 weeks or longer, depending on the substance, frequency, and duration of use.
Here’s a general breakdown of what to expect:
Fatigue and mental exhaustion
Mood crashes, including depression and irritability
Intense cravings for stimulants
Difficulty concentrating
Sleep disturbances or hypersomnia (sleeping too much)
Increased anxiety or agitation
Appetite returns, often with overeating
Cravings may remain high
Symptoms may begin to stabilize
Lingering sadness, low motivation, and brain fog
Continued emotional support is vital
Many acute symptoms fade, but emotional instability may linger
Sleep patterns normalize gradually
Mental clarity and energy improve with ongoing care
The stimulant detox timeline refers to the structured, medically supported process of eliminating stimulant drugs from the body. Unlike opioids or alcohol, stimulant withdrawal is not usually life-threatening but can be psychologically intense. Our detox program includes emotional stabilization, sleep regulation, hydration, and therapeutic support.
Day 1–2: Evaluation, stabilization, and supportive medications for sleep and anxiety
Day 3–5: Cravings and emotional distress peak; clinical staff provides continuous reassurance and care
Day 5–7: Mood begins to lift; focus shifts to building a routine and planning next steps
Post-Detox: Clients are guided toward residential, PHP, or outpatient programs for continued recovery
Note: Some individuals experience PAWS (post-acute withdrawal syndrome), which may include anxiety, irritability, or depression. Ongoing care and structure are crucial for preventing relapse.
You’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. Our team is here to listen, answer your questions, and help you understand what to expect. No pressure. Just support.
