Psychosis in Addiction
Psychosis in addiction refers to a condition where an individual experiences symptoms of psychosis—such as hallucinations, delusions, or disorganized thinking—due to substance abuse or withdrawal. Substance-induced psychosis is commonly seen with drugs such as alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamine, cannabis, hallucinogens, and prescription medications, among others. In these cases, the psychotic symptoms are directly linked to the use of the substance and typically resolve once the substance is cleared from the system.
