Adderall addiction is a dependence on the stimulant medication Adderall, commonly used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It often develops when individuals misuse or abuse the drug for its stimulating effects, leading to tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, and difficulties in stopping use. The best treatment program typically involves a combination of therapy, medication management, and support groups tailored to address both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction, with a focus on long-term recovery and relapse prevention.
