Ecstasy Drug Rehab

What is Ecstasy?

Ecstasy is the street name for one of the many Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) based substances that has become so appealing to the under 30 audience.  Although it is not restricted to that age bracket, it is most commonly found among the younger circles that spend time in the clubs and at “raves”.  The appeal of Ecstasy lies in the type of euphoria that the drug induces in order to combat depression, diminished activity levels, and sexual inhibitions.

Despite the fact that it is a concern in certain states and is on the list of the DEA’s primary drug threats nationwide, it pales in comparison to the focus they are placing on more powerfully addictive substances such as cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine.  It is a mind altering (psychoactive) drug that displays amphetamine-like and hallucinogenic properties, hence its appeal to the club and rave crowds.

Additionally, there are other names on the street for these MDMA substances such as:

• Adam
• GO
• Hug Drug
• X
• XTC

As a result of the way in which Ecstasy reduces sexual inhibitions, it is also referred to as a date rape drug.  So it is considered as a drug that is used to encourage sexual activity when either the male or the female is inhibited about a sexual encounter or is reluctant to participate in that kind of activity with the other person.

Women and Ecstasy addiction

For the most part, Ecstasy addiction is not viewed as one that is physically disabling.  However, serious health conditions often arise when an individual continually uses the drug recreationally.  Additionally, even though the drug is more prevalent in the nightlife scene, recent statistics are revealing that its use is branching out of that arena and into college dorms, high schools, and private residences.  The bottom line is that the problem is growing and it is now affecting women as much as men.

Women who continually use Ecstasy are developing a number of medical complications and conditions including:

• cardiovascular problems
• circulatory problems
• depletion of neurotransmitters in the brain
• kidney failure
• loss of memory function

In any event, it has become necessary for addiction treatment and recovery centers to include Ecstasy drug rehab programs.  It has also become necessary for some of those problems to specifically target addicted women.  Unfortunately, the majority of the rehab programs that you find out there does not do this and typically use a one-size-fits-all approach that is not gender specific.
