Evidence-based K2/Spice addiction treatment through our PHP and IOP programs. Specialized care for synthetic cannabinoid dependence from licensed clinicians in a supportive, family-style environment.
K2/Spice use disorder ranges from mild to severe. Because synthetic cannabinoids are far more dangerous and unpredictable than natural marijuana, even mild use can cause severe reactions.
If you or a loved one is experiencing any of these signs, we can help.

K2/Spice and other synthetic cannabinoids remain a serious concern across New England. Nationally, poison control centers receive over 7,000+ calls related to synthetic cannabinoid exposure each year, with emergency room visits spiking unpredictably as new chemical formulations enter the market.
What makes K2/Spice especially dangerous is the unpredictable chemical composition — manufacturers constantly change formulas to evade drug laws, meaning users never know what they are consuming. A single batch can cause reactions ranging from mild euphoria to life-threatening seizures, psychosis, or organ failure. The AAPCC reports ~28,000 synthetic cannabinoid exposures were reported over a recent five-year period nationally.
These aren’t just statistics — they represent families in Salem, Derry, Nashua, Manchester, and across the region who need access to specialized treatment for synthetic drug addiction.

Understand that K2/Spice addiction is a medical condition, not a moral failing. Learn about how synthetic cannabinoids hijack the brain’s reward system far more aggressively than natural marijuana, and why willpower alone isn’t enough. Knowledge reduces stigma and helps you respond with compassion rather than frustration.
There’s a difference between supporting someone and enabling their behavior. Stop covering for their K2/Spice use, making excuses, or shielding them from consequences. Enabling delays the moment they recognize they need help. Instead, express concern honestly.
Communicate clear limits: “I love you, and I won’t participate in behaviors that support your addiction.” Follow through consistently. Boundaries protect your wellbeing and can motivate change.
Choose a time when they’re sober. Use “I” statements: “I’m worried about you” rather than “You have a problem.” Offer specific help — like calling Trailhead together or driving them to their first appointment.
Your mental health matters too. Consider therapy for yourself, join a support group like Nar-Anon or Al-Anon, and maintain your own routines. You can’t pour from an empty cup.
