Schizophrenia

What is Drug-Induced Psychosis?

Drug-induced psychosis is a mental health condition marked by hallucinations, delusions, and disordered thinking, which is triggered by the use of certain substances. This condition can arise from both recreational drugs, such as LSD or methamphetamines, and certain prescription medications, often when they are abused. While drug-induced psychosis is typically temporary, its effects can be severe, necessitating medical intervention and detoxification in most cases.

Detox for Drug-Induced Psychosis Patients

Detox at The Lakes Treatment Center is often a necessary first step for treating drug-induced psychosis due to the risk of dangerous withdrawal symptoms that can quickly follow once substance use stops use. Professional medical supervision allows us to monitor the patient’s health and manage withdrawal symptoms, sometimes with specialized detox medications. The structured support of our recovery center allows your loved one to recover from drug-induced psychosis in safety, which will bring you peace of mind, too.

Our detox program will include these steps:

• Initial assessment: A thorough evaluation of the patient’s physical and mental health to determine if detox will help or if hospitalization is necessary.
• Medication management: Administering medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and prevent complications.
• Continuous monitoring: Ongoing observation to ensure the patient’s safety and address any new concerns.

If your loved one is experiencing dangerous drug-induced psychosis symptoms, call 911 or go to urgent care immediately. After they have been hospitalized and stabilized, you can talk to us to see if our medical detox program should be used next.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment for Sobriety

Dual diagnosis treatment following detox can help people with drug-induced psychosis achieve lasting sobriety by simultaneously addressing both the mental health condition and the substance use disorder. This integrated approach creates a treatment plan that is tailored to manage the complex interplay of symptoms, providing a comprehensive pathway to recovery. By incorporating therapy and support groups, our recovery specialists can give your loved one the support that they need to put addiction behind them and, hopefully, never go through something as frightening as drug-induced psychosis again.
