There’s a lot of talk about what people are calling designer drugs. They make it sound like these drugs are exotic and fun, or that they aren’t harmful. But that’s not the case. There are many dangers of designer drugs, including the idea that you don’t always really know what’s in them. You could be told what they contain, but you don’t know if that’s accurate. There may be something else in there, and those other compounds could be very harmful. If you’ve developed an addiction to designer drugs or other substances, Westwind Recovery® is here and ready to help you break that addiction and live a sober life.
Take the Dangers of Designer Drugs Seriously
Drugs like LSD and Ecstasy are part of the category of designer drugs. They were engineered chemically to get around the illegality of their counterparts, but that doesn’t make them any safer. They’re often used in nightclubs and at parties, and slipping something like Ecstasy into a person’s drink has also been an issue in some cases. But the biggest dangers of designer drugs come from their addictive properties. They’re seen as exciting, and just something people do at clubs. But the chance of becoming addicted to these drugs is very real. For people who are struggling with designer drug addiction, we offer treatment options such as:
- Six residential and six detox beds
- Room for 80 outpatients
- Mental health treatment
- A focus on the LBGTQ community
- Adventure therapy such as monthly outings to surf, camp, hike, snowboard, and more
- A pet-friendly facility
