Narconon Addresses Ectasy Addiction
Prescription Drug Abuse
Ecstasy is an ever increasingly popular drug used in the club scene, mostly by young adults and teenagers. There is a large amount of people that go to raves who begin to use ecstasy. Ecstasy (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) effects are similar to methamphetamine and mescaline. It increases serotonin in the brain and gives the user a sense of emotional empathy toward others and an increase of love for themselves. It also increases sensuality in some people and energy as well. However, all the effects of MDMA, or ecstasy are not good.
Dangers and Risks Associated with MDMA
- Increase in body temperature
- Dehydration
- Hypertension
- Heart failure
- Kidney failure
- Liver damage
- Ecstasy has also been proven to cause brain damage. When regular users where tested for their cognitive skills, there results were significantly lower than those people who did not use ecstasy. It has been shown that there is an increase in brain damage every time a person uses ecstasy. Many people like to take more of the drug as the originally “high” is wearing off and this increases risk of brain damage.
- Another very dangerous aspect of ecstasy use is the fact that the body temperature is increased and people have died from dehydration due to this increase in temperature. A very common problem that people can have is that they will take ecstasy and their inhibitions will be lowered and they will be in a state of feeling very safe and not worried about anything. Ecstasy has been shown to increase body temperature and increase stamina as well. The person may be at a rave, or club and be dancing and not notice the fact that they are getting dehydrated. The person will continue to dance because of their increased energy to do so and become very dehydrated. They may not notice enough to do anything about it and some people have died because of this fact. Increased body temperature in addition to dehydration can be very bad for a persons liver, kidneys, heart as well as all the other organs in the body.
Another fact is that when a person uses ecstasy, less blood is delivered to the brain. It also reduces the amount of serotonin that the brain produces after the person has used. This can cause the person to suffer from depression and brain fog once the person has quit using the drug. In a person who uses ecstasy heavily, these effects can last for up to months or even years after the person has quit using the drug. It is shown that once a person quits using ecstasy, their cognitive ability will increase and their depression will begin to get better.
Ecstasy Metabolites
One of the reasons that ecstasy may have such long term effects on person is because the metabolites from the drug can be stored in the fatty tissue. What this means for the person is that every time the person burns up their fatty tissue, if there is ecstasy metabolites stored in the tissues, these can go back into the brain and cause a reaction in the person. This can cause an increase in depression and a decrease in cognitive ability. Unless the person deals with this aspect of ecstasy use, there is not guarantee on how long the person will suffer from the problem.
Ecstasy Withdrawal
Ecstasy is not a drug that causes a physical dependence. This means when the person stops using it, they will not go through a physical withdrawal process. Most of the symptoms that a person will experience when coming off of ecstasy will be mental. They include the following
- Depression
- Insomnia
- Difficulty Concentrating
- Memory Loss
People who are coming off ecstasy may actually be coming off some other type of drug as well. They may not know this because MDMA is often mixed with other drugs that supposedly give the user similar effects, but these other drugs can cause other detox symptoms.
People who use MDMA on a regular basis can become addicted to it. This can be a very hard addiction to overcome. It is recommended for anyone who is suffering from an MDMA addiction to look for some type of support group or treatment center to help them through the rough time that they are facing. The person may also want to address the MDMA metabolite factor in their treatment as well.
Narconon Addresses Drug Metabolites
Narconon rehab is one of the only rehabs available at present that offers a solution to drug metabolites stored in the fatty tissue. Most drugs produce metabolites in the body that get stored in the fatty tissue. This can cause a problem for the person even years after the person has quit using drugs.
The reason that this can cause such a problem for the person is because it has been found that as long as these metabolites are stored in the persons fatty tissue, they are often effecting the persons mood and the way that they think. It can give the person physical cravings that they have no control over and that can be very hard for the person to fight against.
Narconon addresses this problem through the Narconon New Life Detoxification Program. Narconon uses a very specific regimen of vitamins, eating a healthy diet, exercise, sweating in a dry heat sauna and taking a specific blend of oils on a daily basis to help the person’s body rid itself naturally of the metabolites and other toxins that may be stored in the person’s fatty tissue.
Many people have reported that after they completed this portion of the Narconon program that a lot of the mental haziness that they experienced from using ecstasy and other drugs was eliminated. Many people also said that they physically felt much better and saw quite a dramatic decrease in their cravings.
Narconon also provides the person with the social tools that are needed to function in life without drugs once the person finishes the Narconon New Life Detox Program. Narconon has one of the high rates of success at helping people beat addiction at seventy six percent.
