PCP Addiction

Content Overview: Phencyclidine, also known as PCP or Angel Dust, is an illicit drug used for its physical and mental effects. Users many times are described as having “Hulk strength” and usually put themselves in dangerous situations due to reduced sensitivity to pain. South Coast Counseling has been helping those addicted to PCP for over 50 years. We understand the various effects PCP can have on the body and how to recover from PCP abuse.

PCP was developed in the 1950s as an intravenous anesthetic. Although its use has been discontinued because of serious adverse side effects, it continues to be abused. It is available in a variety of forms, tablets, capsules, colored powder and more. It can be smoked, taken orally or snorted. If it used for smoking, it is often applied to leafy materials such as oregano, parsley, mint or marijuana.
