The continuous production of newly synthesized analogs of synthetic drugs with their immediate delivery to the drug market reflects the growing trend in the abuse of substances under international control. A comprehensive analysis of the clinical picture of intoxication psychoses and the medico-social consequences of the use of modern synthetic psychoactive substances will make it possible to develop therapeutic approaches to the treatment and rehabilitation of such patients. Objective. To study the features of psychoses that developed against the background of the use of synthetic psychoactive substances. Research Material. Three groups of patients were formed (318 male patients in total, mean age 35.7±7.4 years) in accordance with the duration of the psychotic period. Methods: clinical and psychopathological, anamnestic, follow-up, gas-liquid chromatography. Results. Data were obtained on the features of the clinical picture of psychotic complications depending on the duration of psychosis, as well as on the identification of a psychoactive substance in the biological fluids of the patient's body. Conclusion. The clinical and syndromological features of psychotic disorders that developed against the background of the use of new synthetic psychostimulants and cannabinoids were determined.
