CITIZENS RALLYING FOR CHANGE ON ALCOHOL

Ritalin is a medicine derived from amphetamines. It is available by prescription most commonly in pill form. It is widely prescribed by doctors to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The purpose of Ritalin, when used properly, is to help increase a person’s ability to focus and concentrate.

Ritalin is often abused, and abuse can easily lead to addiction. Due to the fact that Ritalin is derived from amphetamines, it is also not uncommon for a person taking the drug as prescribed to develop physical dependency and addiction.

Teenagers and young adults are the most common demographic for Ritalin abuse because it is a legal and easily accessible drug. College students have been known to abuse Ritalin in order to stay awake and increase focus on schoolwork.

Teens and young adults sometimes take Ritalin in order to lose weight, due to one of the drug’s side-effects being loss of appetite. Some simply abuse Ritalin because, in large doses, the drug offers the user a euphoric high, similar to that of cocaine.

Abusing Ritalin will quickly lead to physical dependency, requiring the user to take frequent, large doses of Ritalin in order to avoid the experience of withdrawal symptoms.

Addiction has fully developed when a person takes Ritalin out of fear of withdrawal, and requires Ritalin to function normally.

No matter how a person becomes addicted to Ritalin, overcoming the addiction is equally difficult.

For anyone suffering from Ritalin addiction, hope for recovery lies in detox and quality rehab programs.

With the use of behavioral therapy, addiction counseling and a strong support system, it is possible for Ritalin addicts to defeat the disease of addiction. The first step to recovery is to seek out treatment, which is always available.
