Amphetamines are powerful stimulants that can create short-term energy and focus but often lead to long-term damage. While often used recreationally or misused as study or productivity aids, they come with significant risks. At TLC, we work with people affected by amphetamine addiction every day, helping them understand the underlying causes, break the cycle of dependency and reclaim their lives through our Truly Life Changing non 12-step approach.
Amphetamines are synthetic drugs that stimulate the central nervous system. Common types include street drugs like speed and prescription medications used to treat ADHD, such as Adderall. When misused, these substances can be highly addictive.
They increase dopamine levels in the brain, creating a sense of pleasure, energy and euphoria. But the crash that follows can be devastating, both mentally and physically, which often leads users to seek out more – and quickly fall into a dangerous pattern.
Amphetamine addiction can creep in gradually. Someone might start using to stay awake, study longer, or get more done at work. Over time, this turns into regular use, followed by cravings, increased tolerance and withdrawal symptoms when trying to stop.
Here are some common signs:
If you or someone you love is showing several of these signs, it may be time to seek support from a specialist service like TLC.
The physical health effects of amphetamine addiction can be serious. Long-term use may lead to heart problems, high blood pressure, malnutrition and sleep disorders. Mental health often deteriorates as well, with increasing anxiety, paranoia and even psychosis in some cases.
At TLC, we also see the emotional impact: fractured relationships, low self-worth, burnout and a sense of deep inner restlessness. For many, amphetamine use becomes a way of coping with emotional pain or avoiding difficult feelings. Our role is to help people understand these patterns and build new, healthier ways to manage life’s pressures.
Public services may be limited in how quickly and personally they can respond to your situation. At TLC, we offer private residential care with immediate admission, giving you fast access to therapy, detox and support in a peaceful London setting.
Unlike many programmes, TLC does not follow the 12-step model. Instead, our amphetamine addiction treatment combines medical detox, deep psychotherapy, trauma-informed care and holistic therapy. We work with each individual to uncover the emotional roots of addiction and help them build new, sustainable coping mechanisms.
Our low client numbers mean you’re not just another face. You’re treated with dignity, privacy and compassion from the moment you arrive.
At TLC, we’ve helped countless individuals recover from amphetamine addiction. Many arrive feeling lost or afraid, but leave with clarity, strength and a renewed sense of purpose.
We know that admitting you need help is never easy. But it’s one of the bravest steps a person can take. Whether you’re reaching out for yourself or on behalf of a loved one, we’re here to guide you with honesty, respect and professionalism.
If you or someone you care about is struggling with amphetamine addiction, don’t wait until it gets worse. Recovery is possible and the right help is available.
