Hallucinogen Addiction Treatment & Rehab Centre in Ontario

Exploring the mind’s depths with hallucinogens might seem harmless or even adventurous. Yet, taking hallucinogens can lead to dangerous side effects and unintended consequences.  

Hallucinogens are a diverse group of mind-altering substances. Powerful hallucinogens can distort reality to such an extent that they impact relationships and your connections to reality. And, like many other substances, taking hallucinogens too often can lead to dependency.

What Are Hallucinogens?

Hallucinogens are drugs known for altering your perception of reality. They have profound effects on your thoughts and feelings as you hallucinate. These psychedelic drugs can cause users to see, hear, or feel things that aren’t really there, leading to intense and sometimes unsettling experiences.  

In terms of their physiological effects, taking hallucinogens can lead to: 

• high blood pressure  
• an elevated heart rate 
• Dilated pupils 
• Nausea and vomiting 

You can find hallucinogens naturally in plants, as with ‘magic’ mushrooms. People can artificially produce other hallucinogens, like LSD, in a lab. 

Common types of hallucinogens include LSD (sometimes called acid), mescaline, psilocybin (found in magic mushrooms), PCP, MDMA, and ketamine, among others.  

Some seek these substances for their mind-expanding effects. However, they can quickly lead to addiction and profound disconnection from reality. 

What Is Hallucinogen Addiction?

If you’re reading this, chances are you or someone close to you might be struggling with hallucinogen use.  

Here are some signs of hallucinogen abuse to look out for: 

• You develop a tolerance 
• Frequent use despite negative consequences 
• Reliance on hallucinogens for emotional escape 
• Financial strain due to drug spending 
• Withdrawal from social connections. 
• Withdrawal symptoms if you don’t use 

What Causes Hallucinogen Addiction?

You can’t blame a hallucinogen dependency on a single factor. In this way, it is just like other dependencies. All dependencies and addictions are a complex interplay of genetic predispositions and environmental pressures.  

Recognizing a problem is the first step toward seeking help. From there, you can begin to assess your treatment options. 

How Do I Know if I’m Addicted to Hallucinogens?

As mentioned, signs of addiction include needing high doses of the drug to feel its effects, spending excessive amounts of time and money on obtaining the drug, neglecting responsibilities to family and work, and experiencing negative emotional states when not using.  

Additional signs can vary based on the specific hallucinogen but often include: 

• Mood swings 
• Confusion 
• Learning and memory problems 
• Engaging in risky behaviours 

Don’t hesitate to reach out if you notice these behaviours in yourself or someone you know.
