We Can Help You or a Loved One Stop Using Ecstasy in Orange County
Known as the “party drug,” Ecstasy reduces inhibitions while increasing and distorting one’s senses and time perception. Users report increased happiness (hence the name), empathy, and energy. But, when the party ends, the comedown can be fierce.
Over 90% of Ecstasy users take other drugs, often to cope with these symptoms. If you or someone you love has developed an Ecstasy use disorder or uses Ecstasy in combination with other addictive drugs, we are here to help you recover.
After a dose fades, typically in 3-6 hours, users may experience:
- Depression
- Anxiety or irritability
- Aggressive or impulsive urges
- Trouble sleeping
- Loss of appetite
- Decreased sex drive
- Memory and attention problems
Do Ecstasy Users Even Need Help?
Ecstasy users may claim they have their use under control, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need rehab. Like other illicit drugs, Ecstasy can put users’ lives at risk and cause lasting harm to their bodies.
Myth: Ecstasy Is Not Addictive
By reputation, Ecstasy is a good-times drug, not a hard drug like cocaine, heroin, or methamphetamine. While the substance may not encourage dependence at the same rate as those drugs, a survey found that nearly half the drug users develop dependence, exhibiting continued use, withdrawal symptoms, and increased tolerance.
Myth: Users Know What They’re Taking
In 1995, tests of Ecstasy pills on the market found that only 10% of them were made of pure 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). Pills sold as Ecstasy often contain MDMA cut with:
- MDA (methylenedioxyamphetamine)
- PMA (paramethoxyamphetamine)
- Ephedrine
- Dextromethorphan (DXM or DM)
- Ketamine
- Cocaine
- Methamphetamine
Unknowingly taking these substances, especially in conjunction with Ecstasy, can lead to unexpected reactions or introduce toxins that users are not aware of.
