Integrative treatment approach to problematic sexualized drug use (Chemsex) of 3-methylmethcathinone: a case report

We highlight the relevance of our conceptualization model for abstinence from synthetic cathinones for sexualized purposes, through the lens of the patient's positive response to the fit-for-purpose treatment strategy: personalized psychotherapy and bupropion pharmacotherapy. Finally, we emphasize the importance of carrying out studies that can scientifically validate the predisposing factors, the diagnostic criteria, and the treatments for chemsex addiction. These elements are essential to think about when it comes to adequate public heath interventions for at-risk individuals and groups.

Abstract

We highlight the relevance of our conceptualization model for abstinence from synthetic cathinones for sexualized purposes, through the lens of the patient's positive response to the fit-for-purpose treatment strategy: personalized psychotherapy and bupropion pharmacotherapy. Finally, we emphasize the importance of carrying out studies that can scientifically validate the predisposing factors, the diagnostic criteria, and the treatments for chemsex addiction. These elements are essential to think about when it comes to adequate public heath interventions for at-risk individuals and groups.
