GHB Detox and Rehab Treatment

What is GHB

GHB numbs the brain and slows body functions and mental activity. GHB is a psychotropic drug that is part of the depressants family, acting on the central nervous system. It is a natural substance that is in the body in large quantities. As a street drug, GHB is a chemical produced artificially (Synthetic) in clandestine laboratories. It is also relatively simple to produce since it is partly due to a solvent-based paint remover. Because the chemicals and methods used in GHB manufacture vary, the final product’s purity and potency are not predictable. Its real name is gamma-hydroxybutyrate or “GHB 4-hydroxybutanoate,” but it is also called the “fantasy,” “G,” “date rape” drug, “liquid ecstasy,” “liquid X,” “GH liquid ecstasy, ” ”grievous bodily harm, ” ”Quaalude of plant origin,” “salty water, ” ” Scoop,” “Soap,” “easy lay,” “vita-G,” “Georgia homeboy. “

GHB Abuse

GHB Addiction

GHB is taken orally but is often sold as a clear, odourless, colourless and tasteless liquid. This is usually the form that it is used to be mixed into liquids such as drinks (often alcoholic) in which it dissolves quickly. The sedative effect of the product prevents the victim from resisting sexual assault and may even have amnesia moments. For this reason, it is sometimes called a “date rape” drug. It can also be sold as a white powder, granules or capsules to dissolve. It causes disinhibition at low doses, and in higher doses, it causes a hypnotic state and amnesia (impaired memory).

GHB Effects

The desired effects are muscle relaxation, loss of inhibitions, reduced anxiety and euphoria. GHB should not be accompanied by alcohol, benzodiazepines or barbiturates, because they amplify the depressant effects on the central nervous system produced by GHB. The effects of GHB usually appear 10 to 20 minutes after consumption and last up to four hours. They are different for everyone. They are dangerous and unpredictable, as the GHB reduces inhibitions, and the consumer may experience sedation, especially if mixed with the drugs mentioned above. Some people feel dizzy for several days after consumption.
