Ecstasy (MDMA) Addiction

Rediscover Who You Are

Our residential rehab model brings together medical care, evidence-based therapy, and 12 Step principles in a calm and supportive setting.

Ecstasy is a psychoactive, stimulant drug which replicates some of the effects of amphetamines. It can be found in both pill or powder form, and is generally snorted or swallowed. Ecstasy is usually taken as a party drug, due to its effects of decreasing inhibitions, and producing feelings of euphoria, energy, and warmth towards others.

Health Risks of Taking Ecstasy

Taking ecstasy can be risky as the formula of the pill is rarely known and it could contain toxic substances. Another danger while taking the pill is becoming dehydrated, although drinking too much water can cause swelling of the brain.

Chronic ecstasy abuse disrupts the chemical balance in the brain, and induces psychological symptoms such as paranoia, depression, and aggression. Long-term users are also more likely to suffer from memory impairment, as well as experience problems with their kidneys, liver and heart.

Ecstasy Addiction Treatment

Ecstasy Detox

Ecstasy users can develop both a tolerance to, and a psychological dependence on ecstasy. If you think that your ecstasy use is impacting negatively on your life but are unable to stop using it, then you need to seek help. Our treatment programme at Smarmore Castle aims to help the user achieve long-term abstinence from drugs.

Symptoms of ecstasy withdrawal can include anxiety, cravings, depression and irritability.

Being free from drugs and alcohol gives patients the clarity they need to refocus on their desired path through life. It is an essential part of our therapy programme at Smarmore Castle. Patients will find it easier to achieve abstinence in a new environment. In our facility, they will be distant from contacts who may encourage drug use, as well as other triggers to their drug taking habits.
