MDMA Drug Treatment in White Plains

Have you ever wondered how ecstasy came to be one of the most popular drugs at electric dance concerts? Back in 2013, the final day of New York's EDM concert, Electric Zoo, was cancelled after two young adults died due to the effects of MDMA (ecstasy and molly). As a result of the growing number of users in the area, MDMA drug treatment in White Plains has expanded.

But Electric Zoo isn't the first time that ecstasy has been the drug of choice at EDM concerts, which leads to the question: What is it about ecstasy that makes it desirable at EDM concerts?

Why Ecstasy?

White Plains addiction specialists understand that ecstasy, while providing euphoric effects, can be dangerous. Ecstasy, formally known as MDMA, is a synthetic stimulant and psychedelic drug that enhances euphoria and distorts perception. When an individual takes ecstasy, his/her excitement level skyrockets, allowing them to properly enjoy a moment. They lose sense of time and place, and are filled with joy at the environment around them.

Since the music played at EDM concerts is upbeat and energetic, individuals believe that ingesting ecstasy will heighten their experience during the concert. The mixture of lights and music as well as the excitement from the audience and musicians at the concert both produce a sense of heightened pleasure.

If I Used Ecstasy At One Concert Can I Get Addicted?

Saying "I'll only do it once" is a slippery slope. Those who have tried ecstasy once, disliked it, and felt okay afterwards will most likely choose not to try it again. But what about those who had a positive experience and want to repeat it? The risk with trying ecstasy at one concert is the increased possibility of enjoying the experience and craving more ecstasy to repeat the good time.

It is also important to know the dangers of taking ecstasy, especially at EDM concerts. Because ecstasy causes a spike in body temperature, individuals may feel inclined to drink a lot of water to cool down. However, when individuals take ecstasy they become unaware of how much water they are actually drinking and may end up drinking too much. As a result, they may develop hyponatremia, an electrolyte imbalance in which too much water is consumed, which may cause death. Each individual differs in his/her own tolerance level to drugs and caution must be taken to prevent life-threatening effects or overdose.
