Ecstasy and MDMA are often associated with nightlife, connection and relaxation. Yet use can become problematic when recovery takes increasingly longer, boundaries become blurred or sober life feels less appealing.
Peggy-Sue considers use in the context of emotions, relationships, environment and underlying vulnerability.
Signs include using more often than planned, low mood or emptiness after use, combining it with other substances and difficulty experiencing pleasure without drugs.
Someone may also begin to trivialise the risks because the use appears socially accepted.
MDMA can temporarily provide closeness, openness or escape.
Recovery requires attention to what someone seeks from the drug and how this can be restored to their life in a healthy way.
Peggy-Sue helps you look honestly at the role of drug use and its consequences.
Together, we determine what support is appropriate and how to reduce the risk of relapse.
Are you unsure whether your use is still recreational? Contact us.
We will calmly discuss which step may help now.
Together, we consider appropriate help: outpatient treatment, residential treatment, detox, intervention or family support. The pathway is tailored to the situation and its urgency.
"I had to choose between two evils. It was either call Peggy-Sue or choose my illness. The support gave me direction again."
