Mushroom users all over the nation rejoiced when Denver decriminalized drugs, more specifically Psilocybin mushrooms.

Understanding Legalized Drugs

Psilocybin drugs have been used for millennia in religious ceremonies and healing rituals. These ceremonies were meant to achieve an altered state of consciousness and to increase spiritual awareness. The psychoactive components of psilocybin and psilocin create the hallucinogenic experience that users are seeking. Today these drugs are used to achieve the same types of altered consciousness and inspire creativity. However, others are just looking for a high. If you find yourself using drugs in conjunction with legalized drugs, you could be in the midst of an addiction problem.

Effects of Psilocybin

Though there are clinical studies done that show the benefit of medicinal mushrooms, these experiments are done in highly controlled environments with quality psilocybin. The general population is under the impression that mushrooms are safe for everyone, especially with legalized drugs.
Despite the legalization of drugs, some very severe side effects could threaten your life. Seizures, comas, suicidal planning, and attempts due to illogical thoughts, and death have all happened under these drugs’ influences https://meridian.allenpress.com/mhc/article/7/1/24/127704/Clinical-potential-of-psilocybin-as-a-treatment. Difficulty speaking, rage, flashbacks, and confusion are also common. If you feel that you have developed an addiction to drugs, Resurgence Behavioral Health is ready to provide restorative health!

Abuse of Drugs

Legalized drugs such as psilocybin are not considered addictive, but it does not mean that they do not have a high potential for abuse. Studies find that many people tend to do mushrooms with other drugs such as cocaine, alcohol, and other illicit drugs https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/research-reports/hallucinogens-dissociative-drugs/director.
It’s easy to become psychologically addicted to mushrooms, especially if you experience the high of euphoria and distorted perceptions that are sought after when tripping. Combining legalized drugs and other substances can be a dangerous game to play when it comes to your health. At Resurgence Behavioral Health, we can treat the psychological dependency on drugs and provide options for a physical detox. No matter the severity of your addiction, our professionals have a treatment plan that is right for you.

Do Legalized Drugs Affect Your Mental Health?

Research hints that the legalization of drugs such as psilocybin mushrooms can be used to help treat those with mental disorders such as anxiety or depression. However, these drugs have also been known to intensify mental diseases. If you suffer from mental illnesses such as depression, you should not self-medicate with legalized drugs to overcome your ailments. Especially when taken in high doses, psilocybin can exacerbate your underlying mental condition and cause suicidal behaviorhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6007659/. Other mental side effects of using these drugs include paranoia, anxiety, psychosis, and severe depression. Additional consequences include a high incidence of fear and depression, which can only make your mental disorders unmanageable.

Holistic Care for Drugs

When it comes to treating a psychological dependence on legalized drugs such as mushrooms, we tend to take a more holistic medicine approach. While mushrooms do not carry the weight of physical dependence, psychological dependence can be just as burdensome. If you have an undiagnosed mental disorder that has worsened since using mushrooms, we offer a dual diagnosis care option. This form of treatment treats and identifies addiction and co-occurring psychiatric disorders. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy options are a pragmatic approach that supports clients in improving their thought and behavior patterns. Evaluating your thought patterns and how you address addiction can be critical when preventing relapse into old behaviors. These forms of holistic therapy address your overall health and wellness to commit to a healthier lifestyle!

Continual Therapy for Drugs

While drug rehab can be beneficial, there is always the concern of relapse. Our behavioral specialists will work with you on identifying and preventing situations that may be addiction triggers. Relapse prevention is preventable through recommended continual therapy. We offer 12-step meetings along with other support group options. Family counseling, one on one treatment, and group sessions are successful ways to stay sober.

Resurgence Behavioral Health believes that continual treatment is essential for long term recovery!
