New Drugs
The term new drugs, synthetic drugs, or NPS (Novel Psychoactive Substances) refers to a series of substances that have become popular in recent years, especially among young people. These are substances that are inexpensive and easy to obtain (many can even be purchased online), but they pose a high risk to the health of young people, who are often unaware of their harmful effects.
How do we help you with new drugs?
In recent years, and especially since the emergence of the internet as a mass communication medium, a group of substances generally called New Synthetic Drugs, Novel Psychoactive Drugs, or emerging drugs has appeared.
It is very difficult to provide a specific description as many different substances are included within this category.
These substances are primarily consumed by younger people, are easily accessible online, and have effects that are, in most cases, unknown to both professionals and consumers, with a very high addictive potential.
At CC Adicciones, we provide a free initial consultation where our team of specialists assesses the patient’s situation and advises on the type of treatment that should be followed to quit new drugs or synthetic drugs. Our treatments are free of toxic substances. The ultimate goal is for the patient to regain control of their life without resorting to drugs again.

How do new drugs affect you?
It is difficult to provide a general description of the effects of new synthetic drugs, as there are many types of substances with entirely different characteristics.
What we do know is that they are a very dangerous group of drugs, as their short- and long-term effects are largely unknown.
Some of them include:
• High risk of causing poisoning
• High addictive potential
• Other risks that are still unknown at a medical level.
These types of drugs are designed to emulate the effects of the main drugs consumed by the general population. The most prominent or famous ones are:
• Synthetic cannabis: This is a group of drugs that mimics the effects of cannabis and is distributed as a herbal mixture in eye-catching packaging. The most famous is spice, which has caused severe poisoning and deaths in Europe and the US. Most of its effects are still unknown at a medical level.
• Other synthetic stimulants and hallucinogens: This includes a series of new-generation substances with stimulant and hallucinogenic effects, which have occasionally been linked to violent episodes, severe poisoning, and even the deaths of users.
They may appear camouflaged under the name “Legal High,” and some of the most popular are cathinones, tryptamines, and phenethylamines. Most of their effects are also still unknown.

How do we help you quit new drugs?
To quit new drugs or synthetic drugs, professional support is necessary to control and mitigate, as much as possible, the withdrawal syndrome that will occur upon cessation.
Therefore, detoxification must be carried out under medical supervision to avoid severe withdrawal syndrome, which could lead to vomiting, anxiety, or tachycardia, among other effects.
During a free initial consultation, we will advise you on the type of personalized treatment to follow to overcome addiction to new drugs. The treatment we provide at the center is free of any toxic substances.
There is a way out. Always.

Detoxification from new drugs
Due to the medical and psychological dangers they represent, the first step for correct treatment is to undergo medical detoxification in an environment controlled by professionals.
As the side effects of withdrawal are not clearly known and there is an indeterminate number of substances on the market, monitoring the patient's progress is crucial to avoid serious medical complications.
This process is carried out under strict medical control. In this phase, medications are used to reverse withdrawal and to ensure the patient's comfort during the first few hours.
Cessation and habit-breaking for new drugs
The habit-breaking process aims to generate a change in the patient's perception of new drugs and help them break the routines and toxic habits that the substance has created in their behavior.
The work of breaking the habit is carried out through therapies, which are the primary tool for facing this process.
The therapeutic model of CC Adicciones places substantial importance on this point, as it is the foundation of the treatment. Both group and individual therapies, as well as all therapeutic activities designed for this purpose, aim to generate a change in the patient's mindset to distance them from toxic behavior.
Rehabilitation from new drugs
Rehabilitation aims to evaluate and work on the attitudes and skills that the patient addicted to new drugs has lost during the course of the illness. In most patients, many physical and psychological capacities have been diminished and must be recovered to lead a full life in abstinence.
This process begins at the clinic once detoxification is complete and continues to be worked on once the patient returns to their environment.
Reintegration of patients with addiction to new drugs
The main objective of reintegration is to ensure that the patient addicted to new drugs resumes daily activities in an organized manner. This phase of treatment takes place once the patient returns to their environment and integrates into one of the various outpatient centers that CC Adicciones has throughout Spain.
In this phase, the patient and their family are accompanied to guide them through the process of returning to normality. At all times, they are advised by the various professionals working in the outpatient centers, following the CC Adicciones recovery model for addiction to new drugs.
