Detox and Treatment for Ecstasy Addiction in Denver, CO

Ecstasy (also referred to as MDMA, E, X, and the Love Drug) has been a very popular drug for many years, especially for college students. A lot of users talk about Ecstasy as a fun and harmless drug because originally it was a very pure substance. But according to the Drug Free World Foundation, by 1995, almost 10% of Ecstasy pills were pure MDMA.

Signs & Symptoms of Ecstasy Addiction

One of the challenges of addiction is admitting that you need help. Often times, addicts deny that they have an addiction, which can lead to overdosing or even death. If you or a loved one has a problem with Ecstasy abuse, there are common warning signs of Ecstasy use that can be recognized.

If any of the following warning signs sound familiar, then you may want to consider treatment:

• I have unusually high levels of energy
• I seek high levels of stimulation
• I act abnormally friendly
• I frequently have nausea
• I have dilated pupils
• I frequently clench my jaw
• I am easily overheated

Support for Ecstasy Withdrawal Symptoms

It is normal to experience withdrawal symptoms when you choose to discontinue using Ecstasy. This is caused by the depletion of serotonin levels over time. It may take an extended period of time to fully recover from the full effects of Ecstasy use. Some clients may experience the following withdrawal symptoms:

• Insomnia or difficulty sleeping
• Delusions or hallucinations
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Depersonalization

If you begin experiencing these symptoms in treatment, your clinical team will help you deal with these symptoms to make sure you feel safe and comfortable.

Therapeutic Activities for Recovering from Ecstasy Addiction

Group and individual sessions focus on rebuilding the aspects of life that Ecstasy addiction has damaged such as mental health, physical health and relationships. These sessions are places to begin making behavioral changes and learn new, healthy coping skills. Groups are held daily and individual sessions are determined between the client and their primary therapist.

Nutrition & Exercise for Ecstasy Addiction Treatment

Ecstasy abuse can result in physical and mental ramifications when used heavily. Some recovering addicts may notice severe depression, high blood pressure, memory impairment and nerve damage. Starting with a consistent and healthy diet will improve functioning both physically and mentally.

Supplementing the body with vitamins it has lacked can also reduce the severity of withdrawal symptoms. The Raleigh House focuses on proper nutrition to help new clients find balance and help protect their nervous system to avoid any potential nerve damage resulting from serotonin overdose.

Endorphins are a chemical response to pain and stress to alleviate anxiety and depression. The release of endorphins can be achieved through physical activity. At The Raleigh House we encourage regular exercise to help regulate the symptoms that are related to physical and mental health.

We Incorporate Recreational & Leisure Activities Into our Rehab Program

It can be intimidating returning to the real world as a newly recovering addict. For most, drug use was their life. Recovering from an addiction requires a complete lifestyle change.

At The Raleigh House, clients will learn new and healthier methods for dealing with stress and boredom through recreational activities. These activities will provide the opportunity to gain new interests and hobbies. We have a variety of events that cater to different interests including sports, arts and culture.
