Understanding Ecstasy Addiction
Ecstasy, or molly as it’s referred to on the street, can be highly addictive because it makes your brain release dopamine, which makes you feel good. MDMA produces its effects by altering levels of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. Some common signs of ecstasy addiction include unsuccessfully attempting to cut down on use, developing a tolerance, neglecting responsibilities, spending a lot of time trying to obtain or recover from use, and experiencing intense cravings. Supervised inpatient detoxification can be crucial to overcoming MDMA addiction.
