Club Drug Rehab El Paso

Club drugs are becoming increasingly popular in El Paso, Texas, particularly among teenagers and young adults and to battle club drug abuse, there is a need for club drug rehab programs in El Paso.

Club drugs are a major concern among law enforcement and health professionals in El Paso, Texas, who report increasing availability and use.  Club drugs consist of MDMA, GHB and its analogs, ketamine, LSD, and Rohypnol. These drugs are increasingly being used in suburban and rural areas.  Throughout the 1990s high energy, all-night dances known as raves, which feature techno music and flashing laser lights, increased in popularity among teens and young adults. Raves typically occur in permanent dance clubs or temporary weekend event sites set up in abandoned warehouses, open fields, empty buildings, or civic centers.

MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine), also known as Adam, ecstasy, XTC, E, and X, is a stimulant and low-level hallucinogen. Abuse of the drug can cause confusion, depression, sleeplessness, anxiety, and paranoia. Negative physical effects can also result, including muscle tension, involuntary teeth clenching, blurred vision, and increased heart rate and blood pressure. MDMA abuse can also cause a marked increase in body temperature leading to muscle breakdown, kidney failure, cardiovascular system failure, stroke, or seizure as reported in some fatal cases.  Teenagers and young adults are the primary abusers of MDMA. Caucasian local independent dealers and, to a lesser extent, Asian criminal groups, are the primary wholesale and retail distributors of MDMA in El Paso, Texas. Many retail-level MDMA distributors in El Paso, Texas are middle and upper-middle class Caucasian high school or college students. MDMA distributed in El Paso, Texas often is stamped with a brand name or a logo.  MDMA is one of the most popular drugs distributed at raves. Rave managers often sell water, pacifiers, and glow sticks at rave parties. "Ravers" require water to offset dehydration caused by MDMA abuse; use pacifiers to avoid grinding their teeth--a common side effect of MDMA abuse; and wave glow sticks in front of their eyes because MDMA stimulates light perception. According to statistics,  MDMA abuse among students, grades 7-12, reported that 6 percent of the students used MDMA at least once during their lifetime, and 2.6 percent used MDMA in the past month. By comparison, 9 percent of students living elsewhere in the city reported lifetime use of MDMA, and 3.2 percent reported past month use. These statistics of teen club drug abuse clearly define a need for club drug rehab programs in El Paso to help handle this problem.

The distribution and abuse of LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) poses a low threat to El Paso, Texas. LSD, also known as acid, boomers, and yellow sunshine, is a hallucinogen that induces abnormalities in sensory perceptions. The effects of LSD are unpredictable depending upon the amount taken, the environment in which it is abused, and the abuser\s personality, mood, and expectations. Abusers may feel the immediate effects for up to 12 hours. The physical effects include dilated pupils, higher body temperature, increased heart rate and blood pressure, sweating, loss of appetite, nausea, numbness, weakness, insomnia, dry mouth, and tremors. LSD is primarily available in urban areas of El Paso and most of the LSD available in El Paso, Texas is produced in California and typically is transported into the city by independent dealers in private vehicles.  These dangerous and addictive drugs take a toll on ones body and to handle the problem and individual will need to attend a drug rehab.
