DXM Addiction Treatment
Religious icons such as Maria Sabina shared the secret of mushrooms with celebrities such as Paul McCartney and John Lennon, making hallucinogens one of the most sought-after drugs. Pure opium was known to have these properties as well, but are not taken for this purpose. Indian tribes and other aboriginal tribes use natural hallucinogens as a way to connect spiritually with their icons. Today, these drugs are being manufactured by dealers in laboratories worldwide for recreational use, and they are far more likely to harm the user than other drugs because of their long-lasting trip.
Do you know what’s in DXM?
Not always. Dextromethorphan is often found as a contaminant in the production of ecstasy. Like many drugs produced in a lab and sold on the street, this drug is one of the riskiest drugs to purchase since no one knows how it’s made. There are traces of many other drugs that are cheaper to produce but promote the same hallucinatory effects.
For Family Members and Friends:
Dextromethorphan is a contaminant found in producing ecstasy and other street drugs. This can be risky because they are made in labs, and there is no knowledge of how they are made. Hallucinogens are dangerous in the fact that they alter reality, which can cause depression, anxiety, distortion of perception, and many other symptoms. When under the influence, these effects can cause major problems.
If your loved one is having issues with DXM, it’s time to give them the help they need so their mental and physical health does not spiral out of control. It’s up to loved ones to do the major lifting and contact Cypress Lake Recovery to help your loved one get the right treatment and therapy they need to save their life.

DXM’s Long-term Health Issues
Brain function and cognition are often impaired in the long run since hallucinations and the perception of reality is distorted over an extended period. People take this drug in public places and are not used to the illusions and effects that it can have, which is why so many deaths occur on DXM. There have been many accounts of this drug causing hallucinations of demonic figures and grotesque imagery that causes people to harm themselves, jump from tall buildings, and walk into traffic.
Physical changes in muscle coordination happen if the drug is abused and has time to disrupt the central nervous system. In long-term users of DXM, muscle spasms are frequent and are a telltale sign of widespread abuse. Things like increased heart rate and overworking the heart muscle can exacerbate cardiovascular issues and artery hardening. What happens to the body when we are using drugs like this is that we mimic a state of distress in the body, and it wreaks havoc on our system, not to mention the stripping of nerve endings.

The program at Cypress Lake Recovery works! I emerged from an accumulation of unrecognized emotions, issues of trust, and unresolved grief and loss. 35-days of effective integration of customized quality therapy reconnected my mind, body, spirit, and I am worth it! I had masked emotions and hurtful events for decades with alcohol. At Cypress Lake Recovery I safely focused deep within to unleash harmful secrets and self-degradation. Tools of recovery were practiced, not just presented. Integrative therapies were tailored to my circumstances, thus were effective. This residential program is like no other. For me, Cypress Lake Recovery delivered what was professed. I am forever grateful for this gift of healing.
