  • Have previously attempted to quit without success or experienced severe withdrawal symptoms
  • Use stimulants in dangerous situations or in increasingly larger amounts

Continuing Care Through Residential Treatment

While detox is an essential first step, we strongly recommend transitioning to our residential treatment program after completing the detoxification process.

 This seamless transition provides crucial continued support when you are most vulnerable to relapse. 

In our residential program, you will:

  • Develop personalized coping strategies to manage cravings and triggers
  • Learn practical life skills to maintain long-term sobriety
  • Address underlying issues that may have contributed to substance use
  • Build a toolkit of stress management and emotional regulation techniques
  • Participate in both individual and group therapy sessions focused on relapse prevention
  • Create a comprehensive aftercare plan for sustained recovery
  • Connect with peer support networks and recovery communities

This structured continuation of care significantly improves long-term outcomes by providing the time and support needed to develop and practice essential recovery skills in a safe, substance-free environment before returning to daily life.

Our Stimulant Detox Therapies

At Peachtree Detox, we employ a variety of evidence-based and holistic therapies to support your recovery journey:

Medical Interventions

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): While there are currently no FDA-approved medications specifically for stimulant use disorder, our physicians utilize evidence-based pharmacological approaches to address specific symptoms and support recovery. These may include medications to manage depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and cravings that occur during stimulant withdrawal, tailored to your individual needs and medical history.

Psychiatry & Medication Management: Our medical team prescribes and monitors appropriate medications to alleviate discomfort, reduce cravings, and address specific symptoms like depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances common during stimulant withdrawal.

Nutritional Therapy and Supplementation: Personalized nutrition plans restore physical health compromised by stimulant use, replenishing essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients while addressing the specific nutritional deficiencies common in stimulant users.

Psychological Interventions

Individual Counseling: One-on-one sessions with licensed therapists address your unique challenges, helping you explore underlying issues, develop personalized coping strategies, and build motivation for recovery.

Group Therapy Sessions: Facilitated discussions with peers provide valuable insights, reduce isolation, and create opportunities to practice communication skills and build supportive relationships with others who understand your experience.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This evidence-based approach helps identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors associated with stimulant use, developing healthier coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.

Education on Addiction and Recovery: Comprehensive workshops provide crucial information about the nature of addiction, the recovery process, and practical strategies for maintaining sobriety in daily life.

Holistic Approaches

Mindfulness and Meditation Practices: Holistic approaches and guided techniques help calm the nervous system, reduce stress and anxiety, improve focus, and develop greater awareness of triggers and cravings.

Gentle Yoga and Movement Therapy: Adapted physical practices promote physical healing, release tension, improve body awareness, and provide healthy ways to manage stress and regulate emotions.

Art and Music Therapy: Creative expression provides non-verbal outlets for processing emotions, reducing stress, and developing healthy leisure activities that support long-term recovery.

How Long Does Stimulant Detox Last?

The timeline for stimulant detox varies based on several factors, including:

  • The specific stimulant used (cocaine, methamphetamine, prescription stimulants, etc.)
  • Duration and intensity of use
  • Individual health factors and metabolism
  • Presence of polysubstance use
  • Co-occurring physical or mental health conditions

Typically, the acute phase of stimulant withdrawal lasts 7-10 days, with peak symptoms occurring within the first 24-72 hours after cessation. However, post-acute withdrawal symptoms (PAWS) may persist for weeks or months, requiring ongoing support and management.

At Peachtree Detox, we recognize that everyone’s journey is unique. Our program offers flexible lengths of stay to ensure you receive the care you need for as long as necessary to establish a solid foundation for continuing recovery.
