LSD Drug Addiction Help Hotlines

In the United States, lysergic acid diethylamide or LSD, is a powerful mind-altering chemical and a Schedule I drug. Drugs in this category serve no legitimate medical purpose and have a high potential for abuse.1 The substance is odorless, colorless, and slightly bitter, available in solid and liquid form.2 

LSD is one of the most commonly abused hallucinogens. Individuals of all ages use LSD.1 According to the data published in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse, an estimated 20.2 million people in the U.S. aged 12 and older have used LSD at least once.‚1

A person struggling with LSD abuse often uses the drug too frequently or to excess.3 While LSD is not considered addictive in the conventional sense associated with uncontrollable drug-seeking behavior, it does produce tolerance with gradually increased intake. This is dangerous due to how unpredictable the drug can be.3 Additionally, excessive and frequent use of LSD produces tolerance to other hallucinogens as well.Users may not realize that this can have far-reaching consequences and that they may need to complete treatment in order to stop using the drug for good.3

The internet has made finding information quick and easy. But sometimes, such as in case of drug abuse and treatment, it is not enough to just be able to find relevant information. Treatment-seeking individuals and those closest to them need to receive personalized recommendations in a direct, straightforward way and in absolute privacy and confidentiality.

A hotline is a good place to start to take action and get up-to-date information about immediately available resources and finding help for LSD abuse and addiction.

What Is an LSD Drug Addiction Hotline?

The key issue with LSD is not that it is addictive per se, but it does cause tolerance in the person using it. This means the longer and more frequently a person uses LSD, the higher the amount of the drug they will need to achieve the desired effect of this hallucinogen.3

In addition to its short-term effects on perception and mood, LSD and other hallucinogenic drugs may be associated with psychotic-like episodes that can occur long or even years after a person has taken the drug.4
