title: PCP: a dangerous drug.
abstract: PCP is again becoming a popular drug of abuse in the United States, particularly among the young. A variety of medical, psychiatric and pathologic effects make PCP both appealing and profoundly dangerous to naive and chronic drug users. Pharmacologic intervention is helpful in PCP-induced acute intoxication and psychosis. Effective long-term treatment is available in addiction programs.
