We like to believe the opposite of addiction is actually connection and we are going to attempt to educate you and possibly even entertain you while we navigate all topics.
Ever wondered what really goes on with club drugs? In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection', Drs. Heather Bell and Kurt DeVine break down the ins and outs of substances often labeled as 'club drugs'. Though the term might feel a bit outdated, it still captures a wide range of substances, from stimulants to hallucinogens, that are often used in social settings. The doctors start by explaining the different classes of these drugs, including stimulants, empathogens, and dissociatives.
You’ll hear about cathinones—substances sometimes cooked up in makeshift labs—that can have unpredictable and dangerous effects. The episode doesn't just stop at the chemistry; it dives into how these drugs impact cognition and perception. Ever heard of ketamine causing users to see things but not fully grasp what's happening? They cover that too. Drs. Bell and DeVine stress the importance of understanding these substances, not just for medical professionals but for anyone affected by addiction.
They emphasize the need for reassurance and proper medical care if someone has taken an unknown drug. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to get a handle on the spectrum of club drugs and their far-reaching effects.
