1. Ecstasy Addiction and Cure
Author: Dion Silva
Ecstasy is the street name for MDMA (Methylene dioxy meth amphetamine).
Ecstasy was used to treat psychiatric disorders in 60’s, in USA. But instead of
curing patients, it made the disorder worse and therefore the drug was
abandoned. The drug became known for its effects of generating hallucinations,
altered state of awareness and distortion of perception, in the 1980’s, and its use
has increased since.
Ecstasy has a pleasant, relaxing effect. It heightens senses of affection, kindness
and love, and decreases appetite and sleep. Other effects are extreme confidence
and sense of well being, anxiety, dilated pupils and rapid eye movement,
sweating, nausea, tensing of facial muscles, teeth grinding, jaw clenching,
increased heart rate and blood pressure and increased body temperature. But this
effect of decreased appetite and endurance of increased physical activity brings
down food and liquid consumption, resulting in dehydration and exhaustion. This
commonly results in death, thus making this drug highly dangerous.

2. Physical harm caused by intake of this drug is hypertension, panic attacks,
seizures, liver disease, diabetes and heart disease. Regular intake of this drug, for
a long time, results in mental disorders as well. These disorders include psychotic
disorders, memory loss, anxiety and depression. Overdose of the drug causes
bleeding in the brain, increase in blood pressure, overheating and dehydration of
body and kidney failure. These can cause immediate death.
Ecstasy is usually taken by mouth in the form of pills, capsules and tablets. They
are also injected and inserted into the anus. Effect of the drug takes place from 20
to 60 minutes and can last up to 2 days.
Use of ecstasy over the past 2 decades has increased tremendously. It is one of
the most common drugs used in clubs and parties. Its use is very frequent in
beach parties, rock concerts, raves and night clubs. It is the most smuggled drug
in the world and is usually smuggled from China, Mexico and Europe. The effect of
this drug, causing decreased appetite and sleep, makes it very popular. People
who find themselves addicted to ecstasy are high school and college students.
There are a number of drug rehabilitation centers which provide treatment for
ecstasy addiction. People who have used this drug for a short term might find it
easier to cure themselves of this addiction. Professional help from these rehab
centers, along with family support and good will power of the patient can easily
cure ecstasy addiction. Long term users will face more problems as there is
severe withdrawal symptom of this drug. A lot of medical complications may arise
when the usage is stopped abruptly. Treatment programs for long term usage of
this drug includes, detoxification along with the use of sedatives, behavior
modification techniques, lectures on health and nutrition and psychological
counseling. These programs help in reducing risks of detoxification over a long
period of time.
Don't let your body on High
Human beings are supposed to be the sane and most logical of all creatures under
the sun. God wanted us to be powerful, sensible and different. Our brain is
designed in such a fashion that knowledge, love, emotions, science and technology
are all well- fitted in its different compartments. It is the same brain and the
sensory organs in our body which tells us what is right and what is wrong. Perhaps
without that ability we would have been degraded to some slimy, worthless and
dumb creature crawling in the slush or window rail. Thank god we aren't that!
If it is a blessing then the same blessing should be executed day in and day out.
Unfortunately that doesn't happen. Although we are shielded with knowledge of
the do's and don't we still fall prey to addiction to drugs, alcohol and tobacco.

3. The powerful organ of our body goes weak in front of our wicked desire. Drugs are
commonly available nowadays and the opiate drug is as regular and favored as hot
dog and French fries. You can see young boys and girls buying little packets of this
drug from a street seller. Earlier there were difficulties in relieving patients
addicted to opiate drugs. It was painful and taxing. But with the advent of
suboxone detox treatment it is less of a harrowing experience for hundreds and
thousands worldwide.
The internet is one such medium where you get information and details of
anything that you type in. That’s very welcoming aspect and literally we all are
crippled without our search engines and websites. Am not weighing the good and
the bad aspect of this technology but what am trying to pinpoint is when anyone is
dealing with delicate and life- involving situations like this it is better to go for
professional medical assistance rather than memorizing the names of pills or
medicines and buying from a local medical shop.
It is a different story that these medicines are not sold without prescription from
reputed health firm or doctor but knowing the ways of an addict he can find
loopholes for his benefit. The suboxone drug rehab centers help the addict to
come out from this vicious circle that he has embroiled himself in. For those drug
dependence opiates the recovery program can stretch from few weeks up to a
year or more. It depends how one's body reacts to the entire system of
recuperation and how early the cravings start diminishing. To win back the lost
control from your life charge yourself for suboxone treatment.
Take help when there’s one
A plethora of rehabilitation centre has emerged as an only glimmer of hope to
hundreds and thousands of people torturing and killing themselves under the dark
robe of drug abuse and alcohol addiction. They should be happy and little relaxed
to see that there are those bunch of caring guys who would be more than glad to
help you in restoring life back to normalcy. The drug rehab also provides relief to
the family and friends who are worn down seeing the plight of their dear one
suffering like hell. So there is a hope and nowadays this ray of hope is saving
lives.
Ever wondered what was the scenario before the drug rehab or treatment center
were established? The very thought send shiver down the spine. Out of
helplessness, misery and lack of professional guidance and medical treatment a
huge number of patients might have had a cruel and painful death. Even if they
wanted to get rid of the addiction the craving of the body and mind for the
substance and the alcohol won't have allowed that.

4. When the feeling of elation dawned after inhaling, all sane thoughts have been
dumped into the trash. Ultimately they dug their own graves and ended their lives.
For some drugs induce a sense of excitement and energy. They say that it is only
after taking drugs or alcohol that they can work and concentrate on their lives and
perform duties and responsibilities. Many of us know that this is a lame excuse
just to defend their addiction and addictive behavior. Any kind of addiction is bad.
You are addicted to online games or addicted to watching TV for long hours or
addicted to fast spicy food- nowhere it is said that they all are harmless. Infact
when we overdo things life becomes hell and peace goes away from our lives with
a promise of no return.
Families have been ruined financially and mentally owing to these problems. There
are many families at the verge of crack down like a pack of cards. So before such
disaster plagues anyone it is always better to educate and counsel young
members in the family regarding the harm and pain behind drugs and alcohol
addiction. If you think anyone in your family is showing sign of early addictive
behavior don't delay any further. Drive down to drug rehab centers as soon as
possible. The rehab will also address problems and make the person come out of
alcohol addiction. Don't trust the addicts. They will always try to influence your
decision and may come up with emotional tags like “have trust on me” or “ you
think I am into those stuffs”. Trust and emotion can come later. Make room for
rehab and treatment.
