Ecstasy Addiction Treatment Program
Ecstasy is known as a “club drug” or a substance used to give party goers an unusual high. It rarely causes primary addiction, but abusers can often lose control over its use. If you suspect that you are beginning to experience ecstasy addiction, you need to seek treatment at once. If not, it could destroy your life.
Ecstasy – Its Nature
Ecstasy, also known as MDMA, X, Molly, or other names, is a synthetic, psychoactive drug that is similar in chemical properties to methamphetamine, a known stimulant. This chemical substance produces:
-
Feelings of excitement
-
Euphoria
-
Increased energy
-
Emotional warmth
-
It also distorts your perception of time
-
To some people, it can become highly addictive
According to the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, ecstasy has several street names. They are Wafers, Hug Drug, E, Beans, XTC, 4 Dot, White Nothing and Rolls.
Dangers of Addiction
A sign of addiction to ecstasy is when a user notices he likes to take it even if he’s not at a party. That means the emotional attachment to the drug has risen to the level of addiction. Patients usually cannot even “break even” at this point – they keep trying to recreate the high from ecstasy. The usual treatment for ecstasy involves an inpatient treatment center for men, including detox and therapy.
Premature deaths can be directly related to ecstasy, but is not primarily the case. A person under the influence of ecstasy can die due to:
-
Loss of control in driving while under the drug’s influence
-
Electrolyte imbalance
-
Other dangerous substances taken with the drug
-
Drinking too much alcohol or consuming other drugs and ignoring the consequences
-
Water poisoning or hyponatremia due to consuming huge amounts of water in the absence of the right amount of salts in the body. Abusers of ecstasy feel overly hot
