LSD Addiction Treatment

LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide) more popularly known as the acid is a synthetic powerful chemical Hallucinogen drug that is responsible for distorting the user’s perception of reality.

While under the influence of LSD also known as tripping the user will experience hallucinations, seeing and hearing things that aren’t really there, colours, objects and sounds can look strange and distorted.

LSD produces rapid, intense mood swings and the user may feel several emotions simultaneously. LSD has no colour, odour or taste and is sold in small paper tabs, pellets or a liquid form. Some of its street names are trips, smilies, and paper mushrooms.

Users experiences of LSD can depend on the mood they were in before taking the drug; this can define if a user will have a good or bad tripping experience. Individuals experiencing a bad trip, this can be an extremely frightening, confusing and overwhelming experience; in some cases, this has caused psychosis and other mental health conditions for the user.

Long-term individuals who misuse LSD may become more tolerant to it requiring increased doses for the same high, which can lead to dependency and more significant health risks.

If you are concerned about a loved one’s LSD use, please call us at Ciconia Recovery London for a friendly and confidential chat about the best ways you can support your loved one.
