== Treatment ==<!-- Treatment (i.e., management, intervention) -->

Medical treatment consists of supportive therapy and minimization of external stimuli. In some cases, [[sedation]] is used when necessary to control self-destructive behavior, or when [[hyperthermia]] occurs. [[Diazepam]] is the most frequently used sedative for such treatment, but other [[benzodiazepines]] such as [[lorazepam]] are also effective.{{Citation needed|date=April 2020}} Such sedatives will only decrease fear and anxiety, but will not subdue hallucinations. In severe cases, antipsychotics such as [[haloperidol]] can reduce or stop hallucinations. Haloperidol is effective against acute intoxication caused by LSD and other [[tryptamine]]s, [[amphetamine]]s, [[ketamine]], and [[phencyclidine]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Giannini |first1=A.
