Flakka is a synthetic drug that is very similar to bath salts and crystal meth. It’s often sold under the street name Gravel and it has a profound effect on the body’s dopamine system. Flakka contains alpha-PVP, and it is highly addictive. It can be made from methamphetamine and a variety of different substances, which means that it is very unpredictable. It has been growing in popularity since 2013.
Flakka is usually used with vaporizers or e-cigarettes, but it can also be snorted, smoked or ingested. One theory behind its popularity is that it is cheaper than crystal meth, and it’s very easily concealed with the use of an e-cigarette.
If you’re addicted to Flakka, it is so important for you to get professional help so you can stop using it. Flakka is incredibly dangerous, and there have been many deaths because of the use of this illegal drug. A Flakka rehab can help you overcome your addiction the right way by providing you with the high level of support you need to stop using it.
Denial is a common factor when it comes to addiction, and many people put off getting information about Flakka treatment programs because they believe they can handle stopping on their own. Maybe you’re not really sure whether or not going to Flakka rehabs is the right thing for you to do because you’re not sure your addiction is severe enough. You would benefit from Flakka rehab if:
Identifying with even one of these indicates that you are a candidate for Flakka rehabilitation, and you would benefit from getting professional help. Most likely, you are addicted, and getting Flakka addiction help offers you the best chance of a successful recovery.
People are often led to believe that Flakka treatment programs are really expensive, and very few of them are aware of what their health insurance plans will cover in order for them to go. Perhaps you weren’t even sure that you had coverage that would help you pay for Flakka rehab, but you do.
This is a fairly recent change and it wasn’t always this way. Only just a few years ago, anyone who needed to go to any type of addiction treatment would have to pay for it themselves, out of their own pockets. There were a few health insurance companies that had plans that would cover the cost of this type of treatment, but even those that did often required co-payments or co-insurance amounts that people could not afford. The Affordable Care Act is now in effect, and that means that all health insurance companies are required to offer good benefits to help pay for Flakka rehabs and other types of addiction treatment too.
Flakka is a drug that can lead to addiction very quickly. People will abuse it, feel intrigued by the high that’s produced when they use it, and then continue to abuse it. Eventually, addiction occurs. Quite often, people don’t intend to become addicted to Flakka, and they panic when they find out they are, and try to stop. At this point, withdrawal symptoms will begin, and stimulants withdrawals are not pleasant. Some examples of what you might experience include:
Some of these withdrawal symptoms are dangerous, and even those that aren’t necessarily life-threatening can still lead to relapse. Choosing Flakka addiction treatment can help to protect you from the dangerous withdrawal symptoms that are on this list, and it can also help to lessen the severity of the others so that you can recover easier.
