MDMA (Ecstasy) Detox

The strength of ecstasy withdrawal symptoms is concomitant on the user’s level of dependence on the drug. Other factors include things like the amount of time a user has been taking the drug, their genetic traits, any other medical or mental conditions they may have, and how they consumed the drug.

Medical research studies show that the more dependent the user is on ecstasy, the harder and more painful the ‘come-down,’ or withdrawal from it. Tremors, teeth clenching, nausea, chills, sweating, and dysphoria can be particularly burdensome symptoms for a user to deal with on their own.

Getting help for ecstasy withdrawal pains in a medical detox facility can greatly reduce the severity of these symptoms. Staff is trained on how to recognize these symptoms, reduce their severity, and aid the user with care, support, and counseling.

If left on the street, users are at risk of self-medicating these symptoms, replacing one drug with another. Detoxing in a controlled environment greatly reduces this risk.

Ecstasy withdrawal symptoms can mirror those of methamphetamine. Symptoms of withdrawal may include the following:

The pharmacology surrounding ecstasy is complex. Amphetamine derived drugs, such as ecstasy, affect the release of neurotransmitters, e.g. dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline.

Ecstasy blocks the reuptake of serotonin, the chemical responsible for regulating mood and happiness. This can induce clinical depression in the user. At worst, long-term problems regulating mood can haunt the user for months after cessation.

Ecstasy withdrawal has been shown to impact users with long-term, psychiatric issues. These include things like depression, recurrent paranoia, panic attacks, and memory problems.

Depression as a symptom of withdrawal is likely to manifest later within the cycle. It is considered a potentially deadly side effect, with the individual in recovery at increased risk of suicide.

The physical symptoms related to ecstasy withdrawal end more quickly than psychological symptoms. But, there is no way to rush the process. However, detoxing from ecstasy in a safe, secure medical detox facility can lessen the severity of some of the symptoms. It is also safer for the user to recover in a structured, supportive facility so they can be monitored for depression and the risks associated with it.

Also, those in recovery can be supervised by caring and trained counselors to deal with the potentially deadly side effect of depression and anxiety that can accompany withdrawal. Depression is a painful condition but can be managed and the symptoms lessened with help from experienced counselors.

Medically trained staff can administer legal drugs to soften the blows associated with ecstasy withdrawal. This prevents the user from seeking relief from other illegal drugs or from alcohol just to escape the pain associated with the ecstasy withdrawal phase.

In addition, medical detox facility methods are backed by proven scientific research, and the staff is extensively trained on how to best help their patients recover from addiction.
