Designer Psychedelics Recovery Support

  • You weren't trying to harm yourself. You were exploring, escaping, or seeking something real. Now it's time to reconnect with your mind, your body, and your truth.

At TruPaths, we understand the draw of designer psychedelics newer or lab-created hallucinogens that promise mind-expansion, deeper awareness, or emotional breakthroughs. But their unpredictable effects and emotional fallout can often leave users feeling scared, disoriented, or disconnected from themselves.

This page exists to help you (or someone you care about) recognize the signs of overuse or harm from synthetic hallucinogens and guide you to qualified recovery centers that offer trauma-informed, nonjudgmental support.

What Are Designer Psychedelics?

Designer psychedelics (also called novel psychoactive substances or NPS) are lab-created hallucinogens that mimic or modify the effects of LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, or MDMA. They often appear under vague names like:

25I-NBOMe / “N-Bomb”

2C-B / “Nexus”

DOM, DOx, 5-MeO-DMT, ALD-52

Research chemicals sold online

“It was sold as a ‘legal trip.’ But what happened to me was terrifying and I didn’t know who to talk to.”
