Comprehensive Care & Withdrawal Management for Men Struggling with Stimulant Dependence
When stimulant addiction takes control of your life, it affects every aspect of your daily functioning—your energy, mood, relationships, and sense of self. With over 10.2 million Americans aged 12 and older misusing stimulants in 2022, including cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription stimulants, the epidemic continues to grow. The psychological withdrawal from stimulants can be particularly challenging, with intense depression and suicidal ideation being among the most dangerous symptoms.
The Last Resort Recovery Center offers specialized, men-only stimulant addiction treatment on our secluded 55-acre ranch outside Austin. Our comprehensive approach addresses both the complex psychological withdrawal process and the underlying factors that drive stimulant use, providing the medical supervision and therapeutic support necessary for lasting recovery.
Stimulant addiction encompasses a broad range of substances that affect the central nervous system, creating both physical dependence and powerful psychological addiction. Unlike other substances, stimulants create intense cravings and can lead to dangerous cycles of binge use followed by crashes, making recovery particularly challenging without professional support.
Men seeking treatment at The Last Resort often struggle with:
Research shows that 10-15% of stimulant users will become dependent, with the rate exceeding 50% among treatment-seeking populations. The withdrawal process typically begins within 24 hours of last use and can last 3-5 days for acute symptoms, followed by a protracted withdrawal phase of 1-2 months characterized by lethargy, anxiety, and strong cravings.
Recovery from stimulant addiction requires a specialized understanding of both the neurochemical changes caused by stimulant use and the psychological factors that drive continued use. At The Last Resort Recovery Center, we’ve developed a comprehensive approach that addresses the unique challenges men face when overcoming stimulant dependence.
While stimulant withdrawal is not typically life-threatening from a medical standpoint, the psychological symptoms can be severe and dangerous. The risk of suicide during stimulant withdrawal is a serious concern that requires professional monitoring. Our 24/7 medical and clinical team provides:
Our tranquil 55-acre campus in Smithville, TX, provides the ideal environment for overcoming stimulant addiction. Away from triggers, dealers, and the high-stress environments that often fuel stimulant use, men can focus on rebuilding their lives while surrounded by the peaceful beauty of central Texas. The structured daily routines help reestablish healthy patterns and natural energy cycles.
Men often turn to stimulants to enhance performance at work, in school, or in athletics. Our men-only program creates a space where you can openly discuss performance pressures, work demands, and the societal expectations that may have contributed to your stimulant use without judgment, while learning healthy alternatives for managing energy and focus.
Addressing drug or alcohol addiction, especially alongside co-occurring mental health conditions, requires specialized programs that understand the unique pressures faced by men struggling with dual diagnosis and offer confidential, supportive care tailored to their needs.

While stimulant withdrawal is typically not life-threatening from a medical standpoint, the psychological symptoms can be severe and dangerous. The biggest risk is intense depression and suicidal ideation, which can occur during the crash phase after stopping stimulant use. Our 24/7 medical and clinical team provides continuous monitoring for mental health symptoms and immediate psychiatric intervention if needed to ensure your safety throughout withdrawal.
Yes, you can learn to function effectively without stimulants, though it requires developing new strategies and often takes time. Many men worry about decreased performance, but our program teaches healthy alternatives for achieving focus, energy, and productivity. Through cognitive behavioral therapy, stress management training, and performance coaching, you’ll develop sustainable approaches to meet work and life demands without chemical enhancement.
Stimulant cravings typically peak in the first week after stopping use but can persist for months during the protracted withdrawal phase. The intensity and duration depend on factors like the type of stimulant used, duration of use, and individual brain chemistry. Our comprehensive treatment program includes craving management strategies, peer support, and ongoing aftercare to help you navigate these challenges successfully. Many clients report significant improvement in cravings within the first 30-60 days of treatment.
