  • You're not dangerous. You're not hopeless. You're hurting and you're looking for a way to feel better. TruPaths is here to help you find it, with safety and compassion.

At TruPaths, we understand that Bath Salts aren’t just about getting high. For many people, their use starts as a desperate attempt to escape emotional pain, anxiety, trauma, or powerlessness. But the side effects can be intense, frightening, and often misunderstood.

Whether you’re navigating your own experience or worried about someone you love, this page is here to help you understand what bath salts are, the signs of addiction, and how to find real, judgment-free support.

What Are Bath Salts?

“Bath Salts” is the street name for a category of synthetic stimulants known as cathinones chemicals that mimic the effects of amphetamines or MDMA but are often far more unpredictable and dangerous. They're often sold under labels like:

Plant food / Plant feeder

Glass cleaner

Research chemicals

Room odorizer

“I didn’t know what it was. I just wanted to feel different. But it took me to a place I didn’t recognize and I didn’t know how to come back.”
