Because Adderall is an amphetamine, it has a longer half-life than other stimulants, which means that it remains in the body for a longer period of time. Drug detox from Adderall usually lasts anywhere from six to 36 hours, which is then followed by the acute withdrawal phase. For most stimulants, acute withdrawal lasts one to two weeks. However, stimulants like Adderall affect everyone differently, so everyone’s detoxification period is different.
There are also several factors that will affect an individual’s unique drug detox and addiction treatment process, including:
The length of time someone has been using Adderall
The dosage that’s been consumed
Whether one has been using Adderall in conjunction with other drugs or alcohol (referred to as polysubstance abuse or polydrug abuse)
If medical conditions are present
If a person has any mental health disorders
One’s age
