Club Drugs
Treatment for Addiction to Designer Drugs
Club drug addiction is a growing problem in the United States. Club drugs, also known as designer drugs, such as ecstasy, ketamine, rohypnol and GHB are becoming increasingly popular among teenagers and young adults. These synthetic drugs are usually used at all-night dance parties, raves, bars and clubs. In recent years, however, club drug addiction has been moving to new settings such as homes, high schools and college dorms, posing an even wider threat.
Ecstasy has both psychedelic and stimulating properties while other designer drugs such as Rohypnol and GHB are used as depressants. The latter two are often used to sedate and intoxicate unsuspecting victims of sexual abuse. Ketamine has become popular for its ability to produce dream-like hallucinations.
Lakeview Health's Club Drug Addiction Treatment Program
Most people who experiment with club drugs do not develop a physical dependency. However, some heavy club drug users may become addicted and experience drug withdrawal symptoms when they discontinue using the drugs. Once a person develops an addiction, it will be very difficult for them to stop using the drug without professional addiction treatment.
