Understanding hallucinogen addiction

Hallucinogens alter perception, thoughts, and mood by disrupting communication between brain chemical systems and nerve cells. These substances fall into two main categories:

Classic hallucinogens

Classic hallucinogens include substances like:

• LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide)
• Psilocybin (found in magic mushrooms)
• Mescaline (found in peyote)
• DMT (dimethyltryptamine)

These substances primarily act on serotonin receptors in the brain, particularly the 5-HT2A receptor located in the cortex.

Dissociative drugs

Dissociative drugs, another class of hallucinogens, include:

• PCP (phencyclidine)
• Ketamine
• DXM (dextromethorphan)

These substances primarily disrupt the action of glutamate, a brain chemical that regulates:

• Pain perception
• Responses to the environment
• Emotion
• Learning and memory

While the National Institute on Drug Abuse notes that hallucinogens may not cause the same physical dependence as substances like alcohol or opioids, they can lead to problematic patterns of use that require professional intervention.

Signs of hallucinogen use disorder

Hallucinogen use disorder is characterized by a problematic pattern of hallucinogen use leading to significant impairment or distress. Signs may include:

• Taking hallucinogens in larger amounts or over a longer period than intended
• Persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control hallucinogen use
• Spending significant time obtaining, using, or recovering from hallucinogens
• Craving or strong desire to use hallucinogens
• Recurrent use resulting in failure to fulfill major obligations
• Continued use despite social or interpersonal problems caused by hallucinogen effects
• Important activities given up or reduced because of hallucinogen use
• Developing tolerance, requiring increased amounts to achieve the desired effect

Long-term hallucinogen use can also lead to persistent psychosis or Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder (HPPD), conditions that may require specialized mental health treatment.

Our comprehensive hallucinogen addiction treatment approach

At Clinic Les Alpes, we understand that effective treatment for hallucinogen addiction requires addressing both the substance use disorder and any underlying mental health conditions. Our comprehensive program includes:

Medical assessment and stabilization

Treatment begins with a thorough medical and psychological evaluation by our experienced physicians and psychiatrists. While hallucinogens typically don't cause severe physical withdrawal symptoms, our medical team provides 24/7 monitoring to address any psychological symptoms that may arise during the initial phase of treatment.

Evidence-Based therapies

Our hallucinogen addiction treatment program incorporates various evidence-based approaches:

• Individual Therapy: One-on-one sessions with addiction specialists help identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and address underlying issues contributing to substance use.
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This approach helps modify thought patterns associated with drug use and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Particularly beneficial for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, DBT provides skills to manage the emotional challenges that often drive hallucinogen use.
• Group Therapy: Facilitated by experienced therapists, group sessions provide peer support and shared learning in a safe, confidential environment.
• Dual diagnosis treatment for mental health

Many individuals who use hallucinogens struggle with co-occurring mental health conditions. Our integrated approach treats both substance use disorder and mental health issues simultaneously, addressing the complex relationship between addiction and psychological well-being.

Holistic Therapies

To complement our clinical approaches, we offer various holistic therapies:

• Mindfulness and meditation
• Physical fitness and outdoor activities
• Nutritional counseling
• Art and music therapy
• Stress management techniques

These complementary therapies help restore physical and emotional balance while developing healthy alternatives to drug use.
