Spice addiction treatment in the clinic MedicoMente – Kiev, Ukraine

We often see outside young people frozen in one stance or sitting/lying sluggish with a glassy stare. All these are the consequences of the use of synthetic drugs – spice. This drug addiction has become widespread among young people due to its accessibility and affordability.

Spice is a smoking blend of dried plants impregnated with chemical psychoactive substances (synthetic cannabinoids). Plants selected for the blend have a psychotropic (hallucinogenic) effect.

Spice refers to the category of chemical, especially hard drugs. Treatment of spice addiction should begin as soon as possible once the drug use is discovered.

The synthetic origin of the smoking blend formulation carries a number of serious dangers, which, compared to other hard drugs, are underestimated.

Here are some of them:

• rapid intoxication, risk of overdose (inhalation of a chemical of unknown concentration);
• addiction after 1-2 times (especially in adolescents);
• difficult to diagnose (due to constantly changing chemical compositions);
• irreversible consequences of use;
• easily accessible (in one click).

The clinic develops treatment management for smoking spice based on its smoking history.

Signs of smoking spice are quite varied. At the same time, once strange behavior, frequent coughing, pallor is noticed, it is a reason to consult with a specialist in narcology as soon as possible. Doctors strongly recommend being attentive to people at risk.

Here are some signs of the drug use that worth attention:
