“Ecstasy,” “MDMA,” “X,” or any other name it’s known as, this drug, often thought to be less dangerous than other drugs or even harmless, is anything better. Psychologically addictive, it can lead to lasting health problems. While taking it can make people feel good in the moment, MDMA addiction has been classified in the DSM as a hallucinogen/ use disorder. If you or someone that you love has been struggling with ecstasy (MDMA) addiction, at Arision, we can help you to not just become clean and sober, but to develop the kinds of life skills and coping mechanisms that will empower you to stay that way.
Physical Signs of Ecstasy (MDMA) Addiction
Continued abuse of ecstasy (MDMA) can lead to serious health problems. However, even using it just once can cause negative effects with lasting adverse reactions, such as:
- Problems sleeping
- Erectile dysfunction

- Excessive sweating
- Digestive problems
Continued abuse of ecstasy (MDMA) can lead to more serious problems, such as:
- Loss of Memory

- Depression

It’s not worth it to wait for those more serious problems to present themselves. The sooner you receive help for your ecstasy (MDMA) addiction, the better.
