The Dangers of PCP Abuse and Dependency

PCP (Phencyclidine), also known as “angel dust,” is a hallucinogenic dissociative drug that alters brain function, leading to severe behavioral and psychological disturbances. Long-term use of PCP can result in aggressive outbursts, cognitive impairments, paranoia, and life-threatening health consequences.

Recognizing the Signs of PCP Addiction:

• Intense Hallucinations and Delusions: Experiencing altered perceptions of reality.

• Erratic or Violent Behavior: Sudden aggression, paranoia, or severe mood swings.

• Disconnection from Reality: A feeling of detachment from oneself and surroundings.

• Loss of Coordination and Motor Skills: Difficulty walking, slurred speech, or muscle rigidity.

• Tolerance and Withdrawal Symptoms: Increased need for higher doses and distressing withdrawal effects when not using PCP.

• Neglect of Responsibilities: Declining work performance, legal issues, and damaged relationships.
