Loyal wife calls Wits End Intervention for help with her husband who is becoming psychotic due to his use of Bath Salts. She says, "my husband has to go to treatment and he has to go now." I asked if he wanted help. She reports that he has just disclosed his long term plan in intricate detail, saying to his wife "I don't know what you are going to do' but I am going to use small controlled amounts of bath salts upon awakening and through out the day while I am at work teaching, then increase my dosage to what ever I need to be inspired in the evenings after work." A part of his plan included continued daily use of Blue Berry, a synthetic marijuana. He said he can happily live his creative life this way from now on and she needed to decide what her life plan is knowing this fact about him. This husband was very invested in issue of Bath Salts & Blue Blue berry being legally obtained from the local smoke shop in Los Angeles. His professional career required that he broke no laws and live as a upstanding, respectable member of the community. I am Loriann Witte, I've been doing interventions for a couple of decades. I love the work. What an honor to be in the position to receive this dear girls call & actually have the power to do something to make a difference.
We made all of the financial arrangements picked out the rehab we planed to use, got them running the insurance, then swung into action. I sent her some recorded information I have on a "go to meeting" formate that she and her intervention party could listen to getting prepared for our pre-intervention meeting. We talked about who would help us in this event. She then disclosed that she had moved out of her home because it was getting too dangerous for her to stay there with her husband. He was talking suicide, staying up all night, going on & on about a top secret government conspiracy that he had accidentally became involved with from receiving personal messages over his computer. He was intent on telling her and everybody who would listen that he was beta testing Apple's new cloud. He claimed with intensity and increasing fear that as he became more involved with the beta testing instructions and use his computer morphed into it's own privet internet connection that began to show him the twist & turns of this dastardly intricate plot between Obama, Google, Apple, & Wikipedia. This had become a dangerous terrifying reality for him.
The use of street drugs or the excessive use of alcohol is harmful to the physical and mental health of all people; however, the risks associated with drug use are even greater for people who have experienced psychosis.
 
Bath Salts like amphetamines & marijuana is known to be a Psychosis-inducing drug.
 
Psychosis can be induced by drugs or can be "drug assisted". Some stimulating drugs, like amphetamines, can cause psychosis, while other drugs, including marijuana, can trigger the onset of psychosis in someone who is already at increased risk because they have "vulnerability". It turns out that our high functioning, mesa level, educated husband in this case has had life long drug abuse issues starting at age 14 using psychedelics and more with his father while he was growing up.
 
It is also believed that some drugs such as amphetamines, cocaine and now Bath Salts can cause a condition known as a drug-induced psychosis. This psychosis can last up to a few days, and is often characterized by hallucinations, delusions, memory loss and confusion. This usually results from prolonged or heavy street-drug use; and it responds well to treatment.
Bath Salts and smoking Blue Berry, a synthetic pot. He is buying both of these drugs legally in a local "smoke shop" This took place in early Oct. 2011, one day before the law came into effect that it is illegal to sale bath salts in Los Angeles. Loriann Witte Wits End Interventions 949-292-2000
