What is polydrug use?
Polydrug use refers to the simultaneous or alternating consumption of multiple substances. The effects can unpredictably intensify or overlap, significantly increasing risks and making withdrawal considerably more complex.
What are the symptoms of polydrug use?
Typical symptoms include effects that are difficult to predict, pronounced withdrawal symptoms from various substances, loss of control, and an overall increased health risk.
What causes polydrug use?
Polydrug use often arises from an attempt to enhance effects, counteract unwanted side effects, or alleviate withdrawal symptoms of one substance with another.
What are the risk factors for polydrug use?
- existing addictions
- psychological stress
- high stress
- an environment that encourages substance use
What treatment methods are available for polydrug use?
Due to the increased risks, withdrawal from polydrug use is always inpatient and closely medically monitored, accompanied by comprehensive psychiatric and psychotherapeutic care.
Self-withdrawal is particularly dangerous in these cases and must always be medically supervised.
