Ecstasy Addiction Treatment

However, a major challenge for those struggling with ecstasy addiction is a lack of meaning in life, which ultimately leads to a variety of health issues and recovery concerns.

At the Phoenix Recovery Center we offer individualized treatment programs for addiction recovery. In addition, we know and understand the science of chemical dependency with its associated neurological changes and its impact upon the pleasure system, emotions, learning, memory, motivation, and most importantly, the ability to exercise choice. We know and understand the biological and psychological science that support treatments in trauma, emotional disorders, and other mental health concerns.

In short, we work towards a greater sense of meaning that has been positively associated with the capacity to overcome difficulties in life and an ability to increase mental and physical welfare.

Below is information relating to ecstasy addiction and our treatment programs.

Ecstasy addiction is when a person develops dependence on the drug and experiences major withdrawal when they stop taking the drug. Because ecstasy creates a flood of serotonin in the brain, the user feels an extreme high and when the effects fade, the brain wants more. After the drug wears off, your serotonin levels are depleted and the user experiences a “crash” that can last for hours or even days. Any use of ecstasy is considered abuse because it is illegal. In addition, it is possible to develop a tolerance to ecstasy, which creates addictive behavior.
