GHB Addiction Is a Reality

Gamma hydroxyl butyrate (GHB), until recently, was viewed as a non-addictive drug. Studies have shown however that nothing could be further from the truth and GHB addiction is a reality and in fact, tougher than many other drugs to withdraw from. GHB is indeed highly addictive and GHB addiction treatment is an absolute necessity. Withdrawals are life threatening and treatment should be overseen only by a doctor specifically experienced with GHB.

GHB Addiction – Why it Happens

The effects of GHB as a hallucinogenic and a drug that produces a feeling of euphoria are well documented. In addition, GHB has been known to be used for the following:

  • Fights depression and stress
  • Stimulates Growth Hormone]
  • Enhances athletic performance
  • Aids in muscle building
  • Assists deep sleep
  • Relieves anxiety
  • Enhances sexual feeling
  • Combats aging

GHB addiction occurs in those that use GHB on a systematic or daily basis. Its use may start out innocently enough but quickly escalates into a full-blown addiction.

GHB Addiction Treatment

Those who require GHB addiction treatment are usually experiencing the detrimental effects of its abuse. Symptoms of abuse include:

  • Behavioral changes
  • "Head snaps"
  • Twitching
  • Black outs
  • Grows increasing distant
  • Withdraws from public contact
  • Becomes drawn to pornography
  • Drunk/drugged driving episodes
  • Lapses in memory

It is important that individuals with a GHB addiction get immediate drug addiction treatment within a treatment center where the staff has the necessary experience to deal with GHB addiction withdrawal symptoms. As previously mentioned, "kicking the habit" of GHB use is much harder than with other drugs. The withdrawal symptoms are extremely severe and may be deadly if not medically monitored.
