Mephedrone Addiction Treatment

Known for its stimulant effects similar to those of amphetamines and ecstasy, Mephedrone presents unique challenges in recovery treatment. Mephedrone’s addictive potential stems from both its impact on the brain’s reward system and its complex personal and mental causes, making effective recovery a multifaceted process. At UKAT, that process encompasses medically supported detox, an extensive rehab programme and long-term relapse prevention.
We are dedicated to guiding you on this journey with compassion and expertise and giving you the best chance of a full and lasting recovery.

What is mephedrone detox?

Mephedrone detox is a vital, yet sometimes challenging, first step towards recovery. It is the process of ceasing mephedrone, allowing your body and brain to heal and breaking physical dependence.

Taking mephedrone affects neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, creating a sense of euphoria and increased sociability. While this can be initially pleasurable, regular mephedrone use leads to the body becoming reliant on the presence of mephedrone for you to feel “normal”. If you then try to quit the drug, unpleasant mephedrone withdrawal symptoms arise, which can cause you to relapse and can also be potentially dangerous.

Medically monitored detox like that provided by UKAT involves carefully managing the reduction of Mephedrone use, mitigating withdrawal symptoms and supporting the body’s adjustment.
