Phencyclidine (PCP) Addiction Recovery & Treatment

Psychological Therapy

Understanding PCP Addiction

PCP addiction is a serious and potentially dangerous condition caused by the misuse of a dissociative anesthetic. It can lead to hallucinations, severe agitation, and long-term cognitive impairments, including memory loss and mood disorders. Even limited use can result in dependence, overdose, and profound psychological effects.

What is a drug and PCP evaluation?

A drug and PCP evaluation is a professional assessment designed to determine the severity of phencyclidine addiction. We provide comprehensive evaluations to help individuals take the first step toward recovery, focusing on:

Our PCP Detox Process

Focusing on the most effective protocols, making detox both manageable and safe, our PCP detox is essential to reduce withdrawal symptoms safely and lower the risk of relapse.


 

01.

Specialized Neuropsychological Assessment

Our team performs a detailed evaluation of your mental state, PCP usage patterns, and unique withdrawal risks—focusing on dissociative episodes, cognitive impairments, and physical health—to design a highly personalized and secure detox plan.

02.

Targeted Hallucination & Agitation Control

If needed, we administer specific medications like antipsychotics or sedatives to manage PCP withdrawal symptoms, such as vivid hallucinations, intense agitation, and violent behavior, ensuring psychological stability and safety.

03.

Continuous Behavioral & Cognitive Monitoring

Round-the-clock observation by addiction specialists ensures a stable detox, addressing severe PCP-related symptoms like disorientation, paranoia, or aggressive outbursts to prevent harm and maintain safety.

04.

Rehydration & Cognitive Stabilization Support

PCP withdrawal often causes dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and cognitive fog—our team provides IV fluids, targeted nutrient therapy, and cognitive aids to restore physical health and improve mental clarity for recovery.

How Long Does It Take to Recover?

One of the most common questions people ask is, “How long does it take to detox from PCP?” Withdrawal typically begins within hours of the last dose, peaks within 1–3 days with intense hallucinations and agitation, and gradually diminishes over 1–4 weeks, requiring ongoing care to manage lingering psychological symptoms like paranoia or memory issues (post-acute withdrawal syndrome, or PAWS).

While PCP withdrawal can be profoundly intense and disorienting, it is rarely life-threatening but can lead to severe psychological distress, including persistent hallucinations, paranoia, and intense cravings. At Alliance Treatment, our expert care ensures safety and comfort during withdrawal, along with specialized support to help you rebuild your life and address long-term cognitive impacts.
