Understanding Ecstasy (MDMA) Addiction
Definition
Causes
Symptoms
Ecstasy addiction1, also known as MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) addiction, is a compulsive pattern of using the synthetic drug despite negative consequences. MDMA is a psychoactive substance that produces feelings of increased energy, pleasure, emotional warmth, and distorted sensory and time perception. While the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) does not recognize ecstasy addiction as a distinct disorder, it falls under the category of stimulant use disorder. The DSM-5 defines stimulant use disorder as a problematic pattern of stimulant use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, as manifested by at least two of the 11 criteria listed within a 12-month period.

FAQs About Ecstasy Rehab Programs
Get answers to the most commonly asked questions about our rehab.
What are the risks of using Ecstasy?
The use of ecstasy (MDMA) can have various risks and effects on both the body and mind.
Some potential risks include an increased risk of depression, impulsivity, and addiction symptoms.
Ecstasy can also have acute and long-term effects on the heart and cardiovascular system, potentially leading to heart disease.
Additionally, dehydration and electrolyte imbalances can occur when ecstasy is combined with intense physical activity, which may result in kidney failure or brain swelling.
What are Ecstasy withdrawal symptoms?
Withdrawal symptoms from ecstasy (MDMA) can vary from person to person, and they may not be as physically severe as withdrawal from other substances.
Common withdrawal symptoms may include:
- irritability
- impulsivity
- sleep disturbances
- anxiety
- memory and attention problems
- disinterest in sex
- depression
- difficulty concentrating
- loss of appetite
- sleep issues
It’s important to note that withdrawal symptoms can be psychologically distressing rather than physically dangerous.
Professional help and support are recommended for managing withdrawal symptoms and beginning the path to recovery.
What is involved in the treatment for Ecstasy addiction?
The treatment for ecstasy addiction typically involves therapy and behavioral interventions, as there are currently no approved medications specifically for MDMA addiction.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is commonly used to help individuals change their thinking and behaviors around drug use, learn coping skills, manage stressors, prevent relapse, and maintain abstinence from MDMA.
The first step in overcoming ecstasy addiction is often medically assisted detoxification to manage withdrawal symptoms safely.
After detox, treatment options may include inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation programs, individual counseling, group therapy, and support groups.
These treatment modalities aim to address the underlying factors contributing to addiction, provide education and support, and help individuals develop healthier coping mechanisms and strategies for long-term recovery.
It is important to note that treatment plans are individualized, and the specific approach may vary depending on the person’s needs and circumstances.
The duration of treatment can also vary, with some individuals benefiting from short-term interventions while others may require more intensive and long-term support.

Testimonials
What ARIZONA clients and treatment professionals say about Cornerstone
This facility is different from any other rehab that I have been to. I have had many failed attempts at getting and staying sober since I was 16. Mostly due to a majority of the treatment centers that I had went to not having much help with aftercare. They would get you clean for however long the stay was and then release you with no tools or foundation to build on. Cornerstone immersed me in the 12 step recovery program. The PHP groups were extremely therapeutic for me. They took me to Recovery meetings every day of the week. They have extremely nice houses to go back to while you’re not at the clinic. Most importantly, they set me up with an aftercare plan that put me on a path to success. Before I left they made sure that I was set up with a sober living, a job, and also made sure that I had made good progress in my 12 steps. After I got out I was sent to IOP, and every week they have a navigator who makes sure that you are doing well and helps you with any obstacles you may be facing. All of the staff truly cares about every individual who comes through this place. Unlike a lot of treatment centers, cornerstone is not in it for the money. Thanks to them I have been able to maintain long term sobriety. I am the happiest I have been in my entire life. I will forever have gratitude for cornerstone and to all of the staff that helped me, and continues to help on my recovery journey.

I watched my loved one struggle with an addiction to alcohol for over fifteen years. In 2022 he was at the worse I had ever seen. I suggested a multitude of things to quit, however, I knew that he needed help and was convinced that this was not going to end well. I had seen the program of recovery outlined at Cornerstone and convinced my loved one to make the 1,800-mile drive across the country. It saved his life. I hardly recognize this man today. From hustling me to pay for "just one more night" at a hotel, to having his own apartment in a year is a miracle. Cornerstone provided him a safe place and provided every tool possible including inpatient treatment, A.A., therapy and counseling, IOP and helped with his transition into the mainstream of life. I’ll be forever grateful.

this place saved my life 100%. the whole staff genuinely cared about me and were only trying to help me grow. i have confidence again and goals to achieve. coming from someone who was very suicidal and a bad alcoholic before treatment, i’ve completely done a 180°. i loved my house managers lacey and jazz who were both extremely important to my recovery. my primary therapist Lori was such a sweetheart and i could tell she genuinely cared about my life and wanted to help in any way she could. i feel like i’ve finally found my place in this world and most importantly myself and that’s all thanks to God and Cornerstone.

Cornerstone was absolutely amazing! I owe my life to their program of recovery and phenomenal staff. Without them, I would be nowhere near where I am today living a happy, healthy, sober life. I cannot recommend Cornerstone enough to anyone looking to try and recover from alcoholism and addiction!
