Drug rehab program for ecstasy addiction

Ecstasy users may encounter problems similar to those experienced by amphetamine and cocaine users, including addiction. In addition to its seemingly rewarding effects, ecstasy's psychological effects can include confusion, depression, sleep problems, anxiety, and paranoia during, and sometimes weeks after, taking the drug. Physical effects can include muscle tension, involuntary teeth-clenching, nausea, blurred vision, faintness, and chills or sweating. Increases in heart rate and blood pressure are a special risk for people with circulatory or heart disease. Ecstasy-related fatalities at raves have been reported. The stimulant effects of the drug, which enable the user to dance for extended periods, combined with the hot, crowded conditions usually found at raves can lead to dehydration, hyperthermia, and heart or kidney failure. Ecstasy use damages brain serotonin neurons. Serotonin is thought to play a role in regulating mood, memory, sleep, and appetite. Recent research indicates heavy ecstasy use causes persistent memory problems in humans.

The drug rehabilitation technology developed by Mr. Hubbard has been able to eradicate the major damage in persons who have been on ecstasy as well as make further addiction unnecessary and unwanted.

This is exact technology which not only gets a person painlessly off drugs but handles their physical and mental effects and helps them get back in control of their lives.

Workable solutions have been developed in the Narconon program that enable a person not only to cease ecstasy use, but to reach and eradicate the root causes which started him or her down that dark road.

When a person use ecstasy over a period of time, the body becomes unable to completly eliminate it all. Ecstasy is broken down in the liver. These metabolites (the substances the body converts the ecstasy into) although removed rapidly from the blood stream, become trapped in the fatty tissues. The problem that needs to be addressed is that these ecstasy residues remain for years. Tissues in our bodies that are high in fats are turned over very slowly. When they are turned over, the stored ecstasy metabolites are released into the blood stream and reactivate the same brain centers as if the person actually took the ecstasy. The former addict now experiences a drug restimulation (or "flashbacks") and ecstasy craving. This can continue to occur for yers, even decades.

Craving is an extremely powerful urge and can cause a person to create all kinds of "reasons" they should using ecstasy again. He is now trapped in an endless cycle of trying to quit, craving, relapse.

But, because deposits of ecstasy metabolites release back into the bloodsteam from fatty tissues for years, craving and relapse remain a cause for concern. Left unhandled, the presence of metabolites even in microscopic amounts cause the brain to react as if the addict had again actually taken the drug and can set up craving and relapse even after years of sobriety.

The New Life Detoxification program which will get him rid of all the ecstasy residuals accumulated in his fat tissues and cells. That will complete his detoxification .

Drug rehabilitation is a multi-phase, multi-faceted, long term process. Detoxification is only the first step on the road of addiction treatment. Physical detoxification alone is not sufficient to change the patters of a drug addict. Recovery from addiction involves an extended process . So after the detoxification steps the person will be re-habilitate. This program is based on the social education modality. The person is provided with knowledge on how to change his life and how to live comfortably without ecstasy.

During that rehabilitation step the addict will be giving the tools, with the help of a series of life skills courses, to recognize and fix situations in his/her life that are not optimum and could bring him/her back to ecstasy use.
