Drug Addiction – Other Common Drugs
Specialist Help for Unique Challenges. Your Recovery is Possible.
For many, substances like Ayahuasca, Psilocybin, and Iboga are associated with spiritual exploration, but when their use becomes compulsive, uncontrolled, or starts to severely impact your mental health, professional support is essential. Unlike substances with severe physical dependency, addiction to these psychoactive drugs is often rooted in deep psychological dependence and co-occurring mental health issues (Dual Diagnosis).
At Recovery.org.uk, we provide access to specialist, CQC-registered private UK centres that understand the complex nature of these addictions. We can connect you with expert-led programmes that focus on addressing the underlying psychological drivers, not just the substance use itself.
Need Confidential Guidance on Specialist Treatment?
If you or a loved one are struggling with compulsive use, flashbacks, or trauma related to psychoactive substances, speaking with an expert is the vital first step. Our Admissions Coordinators offer free, non-judgemental advice on the specific treatment required.

Why Specialist Treatment is Essential
These addictions require a therapeutic approach far beyond standard detox, focusing heavily on mental and emotional stability.
- Psychological Dependence: Compulsive seeking and use, often driven by a desire to escape reality or manage internal pain, are the core issues. Effective treatment requires intensive psychological and behavioural therapy.
- Dual Diagnosis Expertise: Psychoactive drugs frequently trigger or worsen underlying mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, and psychosis. The best private programmes offer integrated care where addiction and mental health are treated concurrently.
- Managing Psychological Effects: Users may experience long-term side effects like Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder (HPPD) or trauma related to “bad trips.” Treatment must be skilled in navigating these sensitive and unique challenges.
- Specialist Therapy: Recovery often relies on therapies such as Trauma-Focused CBT and DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), which are expertly delivered in private residential settings.
