Treatment of Hallucinogen Use
Calming environment Observation and monitoring until the person is sober Sometimes antianxiety drugs such as benzodiazepines Sometimes mental health treatment Most users do not seek treatment for the effects of hallucinogens. A quiet, dark room and calm, nonthreatening talk can help users who are having a bad trip. They need reassurance that the effects are caused by the drug and will end. If anxiety is severe, benzodiazepines (sedatives), such aslorazepam, may help. People who experience a prolonged psychosis may need mental health treatment.
