Treatment of psychostimulant addiction will get your life back to normal.

The rapid pace of life, work pressure, and accumulated private commitments are the main characteristics of the modern era. While some struggle with everyday challenges, others, in turn, try to relieve constant stress by various substances. Unfortunately, their use leads to addiction, which cannot be overcome on one’s own.

Addictive disorders are the most widespread diseases of the modern man. They justly carry the epithet of the 21st-century epidemic. The devastating statistics record an increase in the number of new cases, as well as the discovery of new types of drugs every year. These synthetic substances, along with the already existing, have flooded not only the city streets but also the rural areas. So we can freely say that there is no place in the world where they have not left fatal consequences.

Although cocaine and its effects on the body have been known since ancient times, tablet abuse is the leading addiction of today’s world. This is confirmed by numerous studies. Namely, out of more than 200 million registered patients with addiction, as many as 34 million have sought help for psychostimulant addiction, which is much more than the total number of people using heroin and cocaine.

What are psychostimulants?

Psychostimulants are a group of compounds that enhance the psychophysical abilities of people. These include amphetamines and methylxanthines, which were discovered in 1887 in Germany.

It has been determined that their use activates the central nervous system, stimulates alertness, enhances attention and memory. They also stimulate psychomotor actions, removing fatigue from intellectual or physical work. Because of their wide range of effects, they quickly began to be applied in medicine. As early as 1932 they became the official cure for cold, fever, migraine, epilepsy, but also a weight loss agent, as they reduce appetite.

Over time, their abuse has grown with the increase in legal application, leading to the discovery of adverse effects.

Treatment of psychostimulant addiction eliminates physical and psychological symptoms

The effect of psychostimulants begins 15 to 30 minutes after taking and lasts about 6 hours, although it can be extended up to 24 hours.

Small doses lead to talkativeness, cheerfulness, and feelings of increased strength and self-confidence. Since they create tolerance very quickly, more and more quantities are needed to achieve the initial effect. However, negative consequences become more pronounced with increasing doses. People feel dry mouth, elevated temperature, sweating, accelerated heart rate, while their need for food and sleep decreases.

Long-term use affects the entire body. Skin problems and disorders of the kidneys, lungs, and liver occur as a result of the weakened immune system. Often people have difficulty in speaking and thinking or experience a stroke or a heart attack.

Disturbed balance of dopamine in the brain can develop the so-called amphetamine psychosis. It is a mental disorder similar to paranoid schizophrenia. It is manifested by paranoia and hallucinations, which are accompanied by aggressive behavior.
