Club Drug Rehab Pittsburgh

Teen club drug abuse is on the rise in Pittsburgh and effective drug education and club drug rehab programs can help.

Club drug abuse consists of MDMA (Ecstasy), GHB, ketamine (Special K), and LSD.  Club drugs are readily available in the city but there are no effective choices for drug rehabs. The prescription drug, Oxycodone has also increased sharply during the past year throughout Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Although club drugs pose less of a threat than cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine, their increasing distribution and abuse are an ongoing cause for concern and the need for club drug rehab is steadily on the rise.

MDMA, also known as ecstasy, X, and E, is a drug that is a synthetic stimulant with mild hallucinogenic properties, similar in chemical composition to methamphetamine. MDMA is taken orally in pill or capsule form. Users begin to feel the effects of the drug within 1 hour of ingestion, and the effects may last up to 6 hours depending on the dose, the purity, and the environment in which it is taken. Some users take as many as 10 pills in a single night in order to continue their high. MDMA greatly increases a person\s blood pressure and heart rate. Body temperatures can rise to 109 degrees if the user is engaged in some physically exerting activity, such as dancing. Other physical effects that may occur include muscle tension, involuntary teeth clenching, nausea, blurred vision, rapid eye movement, faintness, chills or sweating, extreme relaxation, and tremors. Ultimately, MDMA abuse can result in a heat stroke or heart failure and is highly addictive.  As teen club drug abuse continues to rise, effective club drug rehab, education and addiction treatment is the key to prevention in Pittsburgh.
