Ecstasy Addiction Rehabilitation

Signs of Ecstasy Addiction

As with other forms of addiction, the signs of ecstasy addiction are not always easy to spot. Some of the behaviours to look out for include:

• Depression
• Increased amounts of sleeping
• Secretive behaviour
• Financial issues
• Changes in social circles
• Sudden inability to fulfil responsibilities such as work.

When using ecstasy, this changes the brain, increasing the levels of neurotransmitters, including dopamine and serotonin. As a result of these changes, those struggling can also struggle with cravings and ‘come downs’ that last days, if not weeks.

If you have been seeing signs of ecstasy addiction in a loved one, or have been struggling yourself, speak to our team today for support in ecstasy addiction rehabilitation on 0300 999 0330.

• Concentration issues

If you have been struggling with ecstasy addiction and have experienced some of these associated risks, speak to our team today and seek help in overcoming them.
