Treatment for stimulant addiction

Struggling with stimulant use can feel confusing and isolating, particularly when the substance involved is prescribed or socially normalised. Many people continue functioning outwardly while relying on stimulants to manage energy, focus, performance, or mood.

At Ibiza Calm, we provide specialised residential treatment for stimulant addiction in a calm, private setting in northern Ibiza. With round-the-clock clinical care, personalised treatment plans, and an experienced multidisciplinary team, we support clients through stabilisation, recovery, and long term change.

Many of the people who come to us say they waited longer than they needed to, often because they weren’t sure their stimulant use was “serious enough” to seek help. If stimulant use is affecting your health, relationships, work, or emotional wellbeing, support is available.

If you are unsure if treatment is for you, our online assessment tool may prove useful.

What is stimulant addiction?

Stimulants are substances that increase activity in the brain and central nervous system, leading to heightened alertness, energy, confidence, and focus. While some stimulants are prescribed to treat conditions such as ADHD or narcolepsy, misuse can lead to psychological dependence and addiction.

Stimulant addiction involves continued use despite harmful consequences, increasing tolerance, cravings, and difficulty stopping. Over time, stimulant use can disrupt mood regulation, sleep, emotional stability, and physical health.

Stimulants may be prescription-based or illicit, but addiction can develop with either.

Types of stimulants

Learn more

These are commonly used to treat conditions like ADHD and narcolepsy.
→ Amphetamines: Such as Adderall or Dexedrine.
→ Methylphenidates: Such as Ritalin or Concerta.

These are illegal drugs known for their highly addictive nature.
→ Cocaine.
→ Methamphetamine (Meth).


→ Ecstasy (MDMA): A stimulant with hallucinogenic properties, often used recreationally.

Stimulants; also known as – uppers, pep pills or speed; come in various forms – legal or prescription stimulants are generally in a tablet or capsule form; whilst illicit stimulants can appear as a pill, powder, small chunky clear crystals, or a white or brownish crystal-like powder with a strong smell and bitter taste.

Are stimulants addictive?

Stimulants can be highly addictive, particularly when misused or taken in higher-than-prescribed doses. Their addictive potential arises from the intense euphoria and increased energy they provide, which can lead individuals to take more of the drug to maintain these effects. Repeated use can cause the brain to become dependent on the drug for functioning, resulting in addiction.

Are there withdrawal symptoms with stimulants?

Withdrawal symptoms are common with stimulant use, especially when someone has developed a dependence or addiction to these drugs. Stimulant withdrawal occurs when a person who has been regularly using stimulants suddenly stops or significantly reduces their intake. Withdrawal can be both physically and psychologically challenging due to the body’s adaptation to the drug’s effects.

Withdrawal symptoms can include extreme fatigue, depression, increased appetite, anxiety and agitation, disturbed sleep, poor concentration and cognitive impairment. Headaches, muscle aches, and flu-like symptoms can also accompany stimulant withdrawal. Whilst not generally as intense as those associated with some other drugs (like opioids), these physical discomforts can still be significant; every person will feel them differently, and the use of other drugs, including alcohol, can also impact upon withdrawal.

In some cases, individuals may experience hallucinations, paranoia and panic; and for some, the intense feelings of depression can lead to suicidal thoughts or self-harming.

Signs and symptoms of stimulant addiction

  • Physical signs:

    → Increased heart rate and blood pressure.

    → Dilated pupils.

    → Restlessness or agitation.

    → Reduced appetite and weight loss.

    → Sweating and shaking, or headaches.

    → Insomnia or disrupted sleep.

  • Behavioural signs:

    → Excessive talkativeness or rapid speech.

    → Increased risk-taking or reckless behaviour.

    → Secretive or erratic patterns of use.

    → Doctor shopping or misuse of prescriptions.

    → Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home.

  • Psychological signs:

    → Euphoria followed by irritability or agitation.

    → Anxiety, paranoia, or panic.

    → Hallucinations in some cases.

    → Intense cravings.

    → Low mood or depression when not using the drug.

Why it’s hard to face stimulant addiction alone

Stimulant addiction is often minimised, particularly when the substance involved is prescribed or associated with productivity, focus, or performance. Many people fear losing their ability to function, work, or cope without stimulants.

Stimulant withdrawal can involve profound fatigue, low mood, anxiety, and cognitive slowing, which makes stopping without support especially challenging. Shame, secrecy, and fear of judgement can also delay seeking help.

Residential treatment may be particularly appropriate when:

→ Stimulant use has escalated or become compulsive
→ Mood instability, anxiety, or depression is worsening
→ Sleep is severely disrupted
→ There is polysubstance use (for example, alcohol or sedatives)
→ Outpatient support has not been sufficient

What happens if you mix stimulants with other drugs?

Mixing stimulants with other drugs can be highly dangerous and increase the risk of severe health complications, including overdose, organ damage, or even death. The effects vary depending on the specific substances involved, but generally, combining stimulants with other drugs can amplify or mask the effects of both, leading to unpredictable and often harmful outcomes.

What happens when stimulants are mixed with other drugs?

  • Stimulants and depressants

    Example: Mixing stimulants (e.g., cocaine, Adderall) with depressants like alcohol, benzodiazepines (e.g., Valium, Xanax), or opioids (e.g., heroin, oxycodone).

    Effects:

    → Masking effects: Stimulants speed up the central nervous system, while depressants slow it down. The stimulant may mask the sedative effects of the depressant, making it difficult to gauge how impaired or intoxicated you are. This can lead to taking dangerous doses of both substances.

    → Increased risk of overdose: For example, alcohol can mask the effects of a stimulant, causing individuals to drink more or use higher doses of both substances. This can lead to alcohol poisoning or stimulant overdose.

    → Heart strain: Mixing these opposing types of drugs puts significant strain on the heart, increasing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and arrhythmias.

  • Stimulants and other stimulants

    Example: Combining multiple stimulants, such as mixing cocaine with methamphetamine or combining prescription stimulants like Adderall with caffeine or energy drinks.

    Effects:

    → Intensified effects: Mixing stimulants intensifies their effects, leading to heightened alertness, euphoria, and energy. However, this also dramatically increases the risk of harmful effects such as severe anxiety, paranoia, and aggression.

    → Cardiovascular risks: Elevated blood pressure, rapid heart rate, and increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, or sudden death due to overloading the heart and cardiovascular system.

    → Seizures: Excessive stimulation of the brain can lead to seizures, which may be life-threatening.

  • Stimulants and hallucinogens

    Example: Mixing stimulants like MDMA (Ecstasy) or amphetamines with hallucinogens such as LSD, psilocybin, or ketamine.

    Effects:

    → Unpredictable behaviour: The combination can lead to erratic, dangerous, or aggressive behaviour. The stimulating effects may worsen anxiety or paranoia, common with hallucinogens.

    → Psychosis: There is a heightened risk of psychosis, particularly for those with a history of mental illness or drug-induced psychosis. This can include delusions, hallucinations, and loss of touch with reality.

    → Serotonin syndrome: If mixing MDMA or other serotonin-boosting stimulants with certain hallucinogens, there is a risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when too much serotonin builds up in the brain, causing confusion, rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, fever, and seizures.

  • Stimulants and marijuana

    Example: Mixing stimulants like Adderall or cocaine with marijuana.

    Effects:

    → Increased heart rate and anxiety: Both drugs can elevate heart rate and, in some cases, exacerbate anxiety or paranoia. Combining them can result in increased panic, agitation, or psychological distress.

    → Impaired judgment: Marijuana may dull the stimulant’s perceived effects, leading to poor decision-making or risky behaviour.

    → Confusion and disorientation: Stimulants speed up mental processes, while marijuana can slow them down, potentially leading to confusion or disorganised thoughts.

  • Stimulants and opioids

    Example: Combining stimulants like cocaine with opioids such as heroin or fentanyl, commonly referred to as a “speedball.”

    Effects:

    → Masking effects: The stimulant can mask the sedative effects of the opioid, making it difficult to judge how much of either substance has been taken. This increases the risk of opioid overdose, as the depressant effects may not be felt until it’s too late.

    → Respiratory failure: The stimulant may keep the user awake and active, but once the stimulant wears off, the depressant effects of the opioid can cause breathing to slow or stop, leading to death.

    → Heart and respiratory strain: Combining these drugs puts immense pressure on both the heart and lungs, dramatically increasing the risk of sudden death, heart attack, or respiratory failure.

Addiction and dependence: Combining drugs often increases the likelihood of developing both physical dependence and psychological addiction, as the user may become reliant on both substances to achieve desired effects or avoid withdrawal symptoms.

It’s crucial to avoid combining stimulants with other substances, and if stimulant abuse or polysubstance use is present, seeking professional treatment is essential for managing risks and achieving recovery.

Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment

Which prescription drug addictions do we treat?

There are many different types of prescription drug addiction. At Ibiza Calm, we specialize in the rehabilitation of all forms of drug addiction. We offer a wide range of evidence-based treatments, including cognitive behavioural therapy, motivational interviewing, and 12-Step recovery, as well as group therapies.

Depending upon the type of prescription medication that an individual has been abusing, potential problems may include irreversible long term physical and psychological damage, and in some cases, can even lead to overdose and death.

Prescription painkiller addiction

Opioid-based medications like codeine, tramadol, fentanyl, and oxycodone work similarly to heroin, blocking pain and creating feelings of euphoria and relaxation. Misuse can lead to confusion, depression, drowsiness, constipation, and dangerously slowed breathing. In overdose, the brain’s natural drive to breathe can shut down.

Sedative addiction

Medications such as Valium, Ambien, and Nembutal are used to treat anxiety or sleep problems and create feelings of calm and relaxation. Overuse can cause drowsiness, confusion, memory loss, dizziness, and unsteady movement, often resembling intoxication.

Stimulant addiction

Drugs like Adderall and Ritalin, prescribed for ADHD, can create feelings of euphoria, alertness, and high energy. Misuse may cause restlessness, insomnia, loss of appetite, weight loss, and an irregular heartbeat.

Addiction treatment

Frequently Asked Questions

Are prescription stimulants treated differently from illicit stimulants?

Treatment is tailored to the individual rather than the substance. Whether stimulants are prescribed or illicit, care focuses on dependence patterns, mental health needs, and recovery goals.

Is stimulant withdrawal dangerous?

While stimulant withdrawal is not usually medically dangerous, it can involve severe depression, anxiety, exhaustion, and suicidal thoughts. Clinical supervision provides safety and support.

Will I be able to function without stimulants?

Yes. Treatment focuses on restoring natural energy regulation, concentration, and coping skills without reliance on stimulants.

What if I have ADHD and need stimulant medication?

This is assessed carefully by our psychiatric team. Alternative treatment approaches or medication strategies may be explored where appropriate.

Can you help if I’m using stimulants with alcohol or other drugs?

Yes. We regularly treat stimulant addiction alongside alcohol use, sedatives, or other substances.

Can stimulant addiction develop even if I only use the medication as prescribed?

Yes. Even when taken as prescribed, some individuals develop tolerance, dependence, or psychological reliance on stimulants. This is more likely with long term use, dose escalation, or when stimulants are used to manage stress, performance pressure, or emotional regulation rather than a clearly defined medical need.

What is stimulant “burnout”, and is it a sign I need treatment?

Stimulant burnout refers to emotional exhaustion, low mood, cognitive fatigue, sleep disruption, and reduced motivation that can occur after prolonged stimulant use. It may indicate that the nervous system is overstimulated and struggling to regulate without the drug, and that support is needed.

Do stimulants affect sleep even if I only take them during the day?

Yes. Stimulants can disrupt sleep architecture even when taken early in the day, leading to difficulty falling asleep, fragmented sleep, or non-restorative rest. Chronic sleep disruption often worsens anxiety, depression, and reliance on stimulants.

Can stimulant addiction cause anxiety or panic attacks?

Yes. Stimulants increase adrenaline and stress hormones, which can trigger or worsen anxiety, panic attacks, paranoia, and agitation, particularly with ongoing use or during withdrawal.

Is stimulant addiction linked to depression?

Very commonly. Many people experience low mood or depression when not using stimulants, especially during withdrawal. Over time, stimulant use can blunt the brain’s natural dopamine regulation, making it harder to feel pleasure or motivation without the drug.

What if stimulants helped me feel productive or confident?

This is a common experience. Treatment focuses on understanding what the stimulant was providing (such as energy, confidence, or emotional regulation) and helping you develop healthier, sustainable ways to meet those needs without reliance on substances.

Can stimulant addiction affect memory or concentration long term?

Prolonged stimulant misuse can impair attention, memory, emotional regulation, and decision-making. Many cognitive effects improve significantly with abstinence, rest, and appropriate therapeutic support.

Is residential treatment really necessary for stimulant addiction?

Residential treatment may be recommended when stimulant use is entrenched, withdrawal symptoms are severe, mental health symptoms are significant, or outpatient support has not been sufficient. It provides structure, safety, and intensive therapeutic input during a vulnerable period.

Can I recover from stimulant addiction without losing my career or identity?

Yes. Recovery is about restoring balance, health, and autonomy. It is not about removing ambition or capability. Many clients find that stepping away from stimulants ultimately improves performance, clarity, and emotional stability.

Can I receive stimulant addiction treatment if I also take prescription medication?

Yes. Our medical team reviews all current medications and adjusts plans safely.

How long should I stay in residential treatment for stimulant addiction?

Most clients benefit from a stay of four or more weeks, as this allows enough time for safe stabilisation, therapeutic work, and building the strategies needed for long term recovery. During your assessment, our clinical team will recommend an appropriate length of stay based on your patterns, withdrawal risks, and emotional needs.

Will my treatment be confidential?

Yes. Discretion and confidentiality are fundamental at Ibiza Calm. Client information and treatment details are handled with the highest level of privacy.

How private is the stimulant addiction treatment programme?

Our estate is discreet and fully private, with a limited number of clients to ensure confidentiality and space.

What therapies will I receive?

Your programme is tailored and typically includes individual and group therapy, medical care, and holistic modalities.

Will I be able to contact my family?

Yes. Family contact is arranged to support recovery and emotional stability. Family therapy can also be included when appropriate. In addition, family members are welcome to join a weekly online family support group from the beginning of treatment.

What happens during the admissions process?

After an initial confidential conversation, our clinical team gathers relevant medical and psychological information to ensure we can support your specific needs. On arrival, we complete a full medical and psychiatric assessment and create your personalised treatment plan. Our admissions process is discreet, supportive, and designed to reduce stress at what can be an emotionally difficult moment.

Can I work remotely while in treatment?

We encourage clients to prioritise their recovery while at Ibiza Calm. In certain programmes, remote work may be possible.

Do you accept insurance?

We accept a number of international insurances, such as Cigma International and Bupa Global. We can also assist with documentation for clients seeking reimbursement, though coverage depends on individual policies.

What happens after I leave Ibiza Calm?

Before discharge, you will be introduced to the aftercare support group, and you will receive a detailed aftercare plan tailored to your needs. This may include ongoing therapy, psychiatric support, community-based groups, or outpatient treatment. We also coordinate with trusted professionals to ensure continuity of care once you return home.

    Ibiza Calm was truly a lifesaver. My addiction had almost killed me, and the love and support I found there were so helpful in me getting back into life. The food was amazing, and it was obvious that the counsellors cared deeply about the clients there. My system got a break and had a chance to unwind and learn how to feel safe again. As someone who’s been through a few rehabs at this point, this was the best experience I’ve had. If you’re looking for help and really want to stop, then I think Ibiza Calm would be your best bet. Thank you to everybody there!

    My experience at Ibiza Calm was truly transformative, and I can’t express enough my gratitude for the care and support I received. From the moment I was picked up at the airport, I felt welcomed and understood.
    The facilities are wonderful—they provided a safe and comfortable environment where I could focus entirely on my recovery. The rooms are clean, the common areas are inviting, and the outdoor spaces offered a serene setting for reflection and relaxation.
    The treatment programs are comprehensive and tailored to meet specific needs. The therapy sessions, both individual and group, were incredibly insightful and helped me gain a deeper understanding of my addictions and the underlying issues.
    What truly sets this place apart is the sense of community. I met amazing people—both staff and fellow residents—who were going through similar experiences. The support system here is unmatched, and I never once felt alone in my journey. The bonds I formed have been a crucial part of my recovery and will continue to be a source of strength for me moving forward.
    The aftercare planning is great as well; it’s helped me cultivate the tools and resources necessary to continue my recovery. They genuinely care about your long term success, and it shows in every aspect of their program.
    If you or a loved one is considering residential rehab, I highly recommend Ibiza Calm. It’s a place of hope, healing, and new beginnings. My time here was life-changing, and I’ll forever be grateful for the experience.

    I am writing a review on behalf of a friend who prefers to remain anonymous and wishes to express his thanks and gratitude to the staff at Ibiza Calm. He had previously stayed at two rehab centres in the UK and found the experience at Ibiza Calm to be far more beneficial than either of the UK centres. He said he felt the therapists were much more experienced and caring in their approach, which in turn gave him the confidence to finally fully open up about his triggers and issues. He has been sober for the longest period since he started his road to recovery, and it’s all thanks to Ibiza Calm.

To be honest, the therapists were excellent, and I’ve been to a good few treatment centers in the past, but this was by far the best. The program and treatment plan devised for me were outstanding. Everything about Calm is amazing. I couldn’t recommend it enough if you want to save your life.

    Jackie Hedges

    Up until my stay at Ibiza Calm last year, my life was spinning out of control. I’m not proud of the way my life was, but if this review can help just one person, then I’m happy to share my experience. I was drinking every day—lunchtime at work, evenings after work, and weekends with friends (the few I had left). But I kidded myself it was ok because I also held down a fabulous, well-paid job.
    I was in so much physical pain that I was taking far more painkillers than my prescription was covering, so I ended up buying online (Amitriptyline and Pregabalin). Little did I know it was actually the alcohol that was causing my pain (or maybe I did know but didn’t want to face the idea of having to stop). Either way, I then became addicted to the painkillers as well as the alcohol.
    The upshot is: I lost my job, my children refused to let me see my grandchildren, and it was pointed out that in their short lives they had never seen me sober. I’d like to say that was enough to make me get my life back on track, but it wasn’t. Eventually, after a very heavy night on the wine, I took one too many painkillers and ended up in hospital (I’m surprised this hadn’t happened before). My son visited me in hospital with all the information about Ibiza Calm, and, as they say, the rest is history.
    From the surroundings, the rooms, the food, and the wonderful, wonderful staff, I have to thank everyone involved in helping to put me back together. I had tried so many times before without success. I cannot recommend this place and the staff highly enough. I know they say “never say never,” but I am 100% confident I will never need their services again. I am now whole for the first time in many, many years. Thanks to Ibiza Calm, I now have all my family around me, and I’m looking forward to the best Christmas ever.

    I arrived at Ibiza airport at 11 p.m. on a Saturday night. Billy from Ibiza Calm was waiting for me and took me straight to the treatment centre, where I saw a doctor. I immediately knew I was in the right place.
    My 28-day program was amazing. I learnt so much through therapy groups and 1:2:1 sessions about my behaviours and how to manage them.
    The days are fully packed out, emotionally draining, hard work, and there are strict rules to follow. Anyone who thinks the 28 days will be a breeze would be very wrong.
    The treatment helped me believe that I am worth more than the life I was leading and put me on the right foundation to build my recovery.
    A personal thank you to Billy, Camilla, and the other professional staff and my peers—also to Veronica for the delicious food, first class!
    Thank you to everyone; it is truly a team effort.
    Thanks for helping me get my life back!
