Ecstasy, also known by its chemical name MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine), is a synthetic drug that has gained notoriety for its use in nightclubs and music festivals. Especially popular among teenagers and young adults, ecstasy induces feelings of euphoria, emotional warmth, and heightened sensory perception.
Ecstasy is often taken as a means to enhance connection with others and to escape from underlying emotional or mental health issues. Its powerful effects are well suited for these purposes, and a once-off experiment at a nightclub might soon turn to occasional use, then regular use, and finally, an inability to stop taking the drug and constantly being preoccupied with the next dose.
At Gladstones Clinic, we recognise the unique challenges presented by ecstasy and MDMA addiction. Our approach to treatment acknowledges the dual nature of ecstasy abuse: the physical health risks of prolonged abuse and the complexities of psychological dependence. We take the time and effort to understand each patient’s unique abuse profile and underlying reasons for addiction and address these using effective and evidence-based therapies.
