Addiction Info – Ecstasy Intervention
(street names: X, XTC, Adam, hug, beans, lovemedrug)
Ecstasy is man-made club drug, that acts as both a stimulant and a hallucinogen. It is taken orally as a capsule or tablet. When the line is crossed from social drinking to alcohol abuse, short and long-term effects are varied and many.
Ecstasy is often cut with crystal meth and/or acid – producing a very addictive and highly toxic drug. The fun of use becomes abuse,; cravings begin.
The cycle of craving, use and then remorse, come to light in short order.
Short-term memory loss may occur. Confusion, blurred vision, acne-like-rash, severe depression, liver damage, aggression, paranoia, teeth clenching, anxiety, sleep problems, nausea & brain damage are but some of the most common side effects addicts experience while using ecstasy.
External problems run the gamut from legal problems to relationship trauma (and drama). Often, the ability to manage ones’ own life is disrupted. One gets “off track” while in the throws of addiction.
Over time, tolerance to the drug builds. It takes more to chase the previous ‘high’ and drug use increases. The things lost become more important and valuable.
Esctasy abuse effects are monumental and devastating as the pleasure-producing portion of the brain is disrupted and can cause permanent brain damage.
The cycle of addiction can be broken – and it begins with getting the addicted individual in to treatment. The recovery process will begin for the entire intervention network.
