Which prescriptions we treat
Misusing a prescription can lead to physical dependence and addiction, and with them, risks to your physical and mental health. Find the medication you're worried about. Read which prescription drugs can lead to addiction without you noticing.
Adderall and Vyvanse addiction treatment
Stimulant misuse often looks like higher doses, someone else's pills, or taking them to work longer, study or lose weight. Over time the brain makes less dopamine on its own, and stopping brings a crash: exhaustion, low mood and cravings. Mood is treated alongside stimulant use; read about dual diagnosis.
Physical effects can include a raised heart rate and blood pressure, dizziness, sweating and trouble with coordination.
- Taking larger doses than prescribed
- Taking it more often, or after you no longer need it
- Using someone else's pills
- Trying to cut down and not managing it
- Falling behind at work, home or school
- Needing more for the same effect
- Withdrawal symptoms when you stop
Most people started with a real need. Treatment includes care for that original condition without the misused drug, with medication management, therapy and non-addictive options where they fit.
It depends on the drug. Opioid pills and sedatives usually need medical detox; stimulants usually don't. Admissions decides on the first call. Read about our medical detox program.

I've struggled a few times through the last couple years. Red Rock has been consistent and caring with my recovery. I 100% recommend anyone struggling for the care and focus they provide. Plus the after-program care is top notch
If your loved one is facing addiction, this is the place to be. The entire staff is professional and caring. My son is now in a Red Rocks sober living facility and has been drug and alcohol free for almost three weeks. He is excited about being apart of this program and is embracing his sobriety.
Bre my case worker was amazing in finding me help after treatment . The whole staff was caring and understanding during a hard time . So thankful for all them ! !
This was my first time getting help for my addictions. I learned a lot from group sessions and really appreciated the schedule and staff. I’ve taken a lot of things I’ve learned from base camp with me after. I would 100% recommend Red Rocks to anyone struggling with addiction.
I decided that I couldn’t handle my addiction on my own and contacted Red Rock Recovery Center. They changed my life. From day one, I realized I was in a place where I was genuinely being cared for, by both the staff and the other people in my group. They offer peer support groups and endless sober meetups after you graduate. You’re never left alone. You’re provided with every resource imaginable and are supported for the rest of your life. I’m beyond thankful for RRRC, for their care and for their never ending support. You’re not alone out there. Promise. There is a community out there committed to your wellbeing.
Red Rock has a solid foundation w people who actually care about others at the core of it. I’m extremely grateful to the staff and community of this place and I will always talk highly about the program and most of the therapists. 10/10 would recommend
Absolutely life changing. My kids will never have to live with a drunk mommy and I feel so in control of my own life decisions now that I’m sober. I’m so grateful that I get to live a sober life for and with my children
Questions about prescription drug treatment
Can you get addicted to a prescription you were given?
Yes. Taking more than prescribed, more often, or for a different reason, like studying, working longer or losing weight, can turn into dependence even when the prescription was legitimate. It's more common than people think. Read which prescription drugs can lead to addiction.
Do you treat Adderall or Vyvanse addiction?
Yes. We treat prescription stimulant misuse in residential treatment, PHP and IOP, with care for ADHD, anxiety, depression or whatever else sits underneath. Our psychiatric team helps plan how the original condition is managed going forward. Read about medication management at Red Rock.
I'm addicted to pain pills. Is this the right page?
Opioid pain pills like oxycodone and hydrocodone are covered on our opioid page, including medically managed detox and medication support. Treatment for pills, heroin and fentanyl follows the same approach. Read about opioid and fentanyl treatment.
Do I need detox for prescription drugs?
It depends on the drug. For opioid pills and sedatives like benzodiazepines, medical detox is often needed, because withdrawal can be severe or dangerous. For stimulants, it usually isn't, though the crash can be hard. Admissions decides on the first call. Read about our medical detox program.
