Ecstasy Substance Abuse Treatment
What is Ecstasy?
The drug Ecstasy is an MDMA (Methylenedioxymethamphetamine) that has become popular among the younger generation where recreational substance abuse is concerned. The drug is characterized by anxiety diminishing and a sense of sexual intimacy. From a legal standpoint, it has been categorized as a “club” or “date rape” drug by the DEA and is considered one of the primary drug threats in the US today.
In addition to this, there are increasing numbers of reported cases every year regarding dependency and overdoses. As a result, many health and medical professionals now regard Ecstasy abuse as a serious public health threat. As a result of the above, numerous addiction treatment and recovery centers throughout the US today now provide clients with Ecstasy substance abuse treatment programs.
The effects of Ecstasy abuse and dependency
Due to the drug’s steadily increasing popularity among younger, recreational drug users, Ecstasy substance abuse treatment programs are now quite common at many of the addiction treatment and recovery centers throughout the US. Individuals who chronically abuse Ecstasy will oftentimes experience problems that cocaine and methamphetamine addiction is characterized by. Dependency resulting from increased tolerance and the eventual addiction to Ecstasy are not uncommon, hence the need for these rehab programs.
Ecstasy users justify continual recreational use based on the “rewarding” effects that the drug provides them with when they are using it. However, there are psychological effects that typically result after prolonged use of the drug including:
- sleep disorders
- paranoia
- depression
- confusion
- anxiety
Numerous physical side effects come into play as well including nausea and vomiting, muscle tension, involuntary teeth clenching (a.k.a. Bruxism), elevated heart rate and high blood pressure, dizziness and fainting, chills and sweating, and blurry vision.
