Designer Drugs
Premier Designer Drug Addiction Treatment
Designer drugs (or Synthetic Drugs) are substances that are derived from alterations of well-known illegal drugs commonly abused and used to mimic the effects produced by the illicit substance it is based on. Designer drugs include cannabinoids, phenethylamines, phencyclidines, tryptamines, piperazines, pipradrols, and N-ring systems. Some common names of such drugs can include bath salts, K2, spice, research chemicals, and flakka. These synthetic drugs can be sold in stores under categories of potpourri, bath salts, and incense marketed as “Not for human consumption,” although they typically are consumed for their effects.
