Drug-induced Psychosis Treatment in Marin County, CA
Drug-induced psychosis is a serious mental health condition triggered by substance use, leading to a temporary or prolonged break from reality. It can cause hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, and extreme confusion. While alarming, this condition is treatable with the right combination of medical detox, therapy, and structured support. See our specialized treatment programs to learn more about our process.
At Rosebay Behavioral Health, we specialize in helping individuals recover from substance-induced psychosis, stabilize their mental health, and regain control over their lives.
Understanding Substance-Induced Psychosis
Drug-induced psychosis occurs when substance use, such as stimulants, hallucinogens, or psychedelics, disrupts brain function, causing a person to lose touch with reality. It can be a one-time event or evolve into a more persistent psychotic disorder if left untreated.
Common Substances That Can Cause Drug-Induced Psychosis:
- Cocaine: A powerful stimulant that increases dopamine levels in the brain and carries a high risk of addiction.
- Amphetamine (speed): A stimulant that boosts energy by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine.
- Methamphetamine (crystal meth): A highly potent and addictive stimulant that drastically increases dopamine and hyperactivity but leads to severe neurological and physical health damage over time.
- Mephedrone (MCAT or miaow): A synthetic stimulant with effects similar to MDMA and cocaine, known for inducing euphoria, increased sociability, and energy.
- MDMA (ecstasy): A psychoactive stimulant that enhances mood, empathy, and sensory perception by increasing serotonin and dopamine.
- Cannabis: A plant-based psychoactive drug containing THC, which alters perception, mood, and cognition.
- LSD (acid): A potent hallucinogen that alters perception, thoughts, and emotions by affecting serotonin levels, leading to vivid visual distortions and profound psychological experiences.
- Psilocybin (magic mushrooms): A natural hallucinogen found in certain mushrooms that induces altered perception and emotional shifts.
- Ketamine: A dissociative anesthetic with hallucinogenic properties used medically for pain management and depression.
For some, psychosis fades as the substance leaves their system, but for others, it can linger or trigger a lasting mental health condition. Early intervention is crucial to preventing long-term consequences.
