Detox and Club Drugs

Club Drug Detox - "Club Drugs" is a generic term used to refer to a number of different drugs that are commonly used at nightclubs, bars, raves, and parties. Most commonly these drugs have been associated with all night dance parties called "raves". Some people who attend these types of clubs or parties become involved with these drugs because of their availability, relatively low cost, and the high they provide. The most common "club drugs" that may require detox include Ecstasy("E"," X"," XTC", "Rolls"), and GHB ("liquid ecstasy," "soap," "easy lay," "vita-G," and "Georgia home boy").

GHB (gamma hydroxybutyrate) is a drug used for its euphoric, sedative and anabolic effects. GHB was available over the counter commercially until 1992. It was (and still is) used as a body building steroid. However, it's strong (CNS) central nervous system depressant effects as well as its addictiveness it was banned in the U.S.

Coma and seizures can occur following use of GHB. Combining use with other drugs such as alcohol can result in nausea and breathing difficulties. GHB may also produce withdrawal effects, including insomnia, anxiety, tremors, and sweating. GHB has been involved in poisonings, overdoses, date rapes, and deaths. These withdrawal effects may need a hospital based detox as well.
