At the moment, there is no available medically-based treatment clinically proven to be effective for amphetamine withdrawal . The tricyclic antidepressant amineptine used to be used but has since been taken off the market in most countries. Other antidepressants have been studied without finding consensus in the professional community.
Therefore it is possible that those seeking treatment for a Ritalin addiction may not see much relief during the first few days of treatment, and depending on the modality, Ritalin addicts may go straight into psychosocial treatments involving individual or group counseling and therapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or self-help strategies like 12 step-based meetings. Psychodynamic therapies have been found to be useful because they assume that the stimulant abuse is at least in part a way to self-medicate, to cope with underlying psychological issues.
A variety of inpatient residential treatment centers, as well as outpatient programs, are equipped to help Ritalin or amphetamine addicts overcome their addiction by teaching them relapse prevention techniques, ways to counter so-called euphoric recall (when the addict only remembers the good aspects of stimulant abuse, a common trigger for relapse), how to resist cravings, returning to a balanced liyfestyle and learning to be more accountable for their behavior.
