Signs of Adderall Addiction

Because Adderall is designed to heighten your senses and make you feel more awake and focused, it can be difficult to notice the signs of addiction. Many people who are abusing Adderall convinced themselves that it is a nonissue because they feel “better” when on the drug. However, the truth of the situation is that they are gradually getting worse and need help.

People who are addicted to Adderall may exhibit these behaviors:

  • Overly hyper in social situations
  • Uncharacteristic mood swings
  • Constant urge for the next dose
  • Neglecting work, family, and friendships

Perhaps the clearest sign that someone is addicted to Adderall is that they have begun taking it in a way that does not match their prescription, such as taking larger doses or more frequent doses. If you are taking Adderall opposite a prescription’s instructions, then you are likely addicted to it, even if it doesn’t seem it yet. Please seek help and call us at (678) 737-4430.

When it comes to recovery, it is normal to have questions

  • Is drug addiction genetic?

    Although there are many factors at play when it comes to determining how and why someone becomes addicted to drugs, evidence suggests that addiction can be at least partially attributed to genetics. According to a study by the American Psychological Association (APA), approximately 50% of an individual’s predisposition for drug abuse and addiction can be attributed to hereditary factors. This research is further supported by other studies that have found a link between genetics and drug addiction. Notably, these findings have linked specific traits, such as impulsivity and recklessness, as well as hereditary mental and behavioral health disorders, including depression and bipolar disorder, with an increased risk of drug abuse and addiction. The medical community does not consider an “addictive personality” to be a singular trait; rather, it acknowledges that a wide range of genetic, environmental, and other factors can all play a role in someone’s predisposition to use, abuse, and become addicted to drugs and other harmful substances. 

  • Are their effective treatments for drug addiction?

    Yes, there are many clinically proven effective drug addiction treatments. Research shows that the most effective method of treating drug dependency, abuse, and addiction involves a combination of medically supported treatments and various forms of therapy, including behavioral and alternative therapies. Depending on a person’s unique situation, the most beneficial option may involve medical detox, partial hospitalization, outpatient rehab, co-occurring disorder treatment, aftercare, or some combination thereof. At The Carter Treatment Center, we carefully evaluate each incoming patient to assess their unique needs. From there, we recommend a customized treatment program with the goal of providing you with the highest possible chance of long-term success. 

  • How quickly can someone become addicted to a drug?

    Drug addiction can occur much more quickly than many people realize. The exact length of time it may take for someone to become addicted depends on a variety of factors, including the type and potency of the substance, the method of ingestion, the age at which the individual first begins using the drug, their personal and family history of drug abuse, whether they have experienced trauma, whether they have a mental and/or behavioral health disorder, and other environmental and genetic factors. In most cases, drug addiction follows an increased tolerance and growing dependency on the substance; however, in some cases, it is possible for an individual to become addicted to a drug after several times or even a single use.
