Inhalant Addiction Treatment

Inhalants: 

Inhalants are drugs that are sniffed or “huffed” to give the user an instantaneous rush or high.  They include household substances such as glues, paint thinners, dry cleaning fluids, gasoline, felt-tip marker fluid, correction fluid, hair spray, aerosol deodorants, and spray paint.

*How it is used:
Inhalants are breathed in straight from the original container (sniffing or snorting), from a plastic bag (bagging), or by holding an inhalant-soaked rag in the mouth (huffing).

Effects and dangers:
It makes you feel giddy and confused, as if you were drunk.  Long time users get headaches, nosebleeds, and might lose hearing and sense of smell.  Inhalants are the most likely of abused substances to cause important toxic reaction and fatality.  Consuming inhalants, even once, can kill you.

How addictive? 
They can be extremely addictive.  Adolescents who take inhalants can become psychologically dependent upon them to feel good, deal with life or handle stress.

    The reasons adolescents decide to use drugs vary widely.  Certain do drugs to be popular or to fit in with their friends.  Others take drugs to get attention from their parents, while others use them to escape or solve issues.  Drug abuse does NOT solve issues; it only masks emotions and problems, frequently making things worse.  It can take over a life to the measure that nothing else matters; food, friends, family, health, etc.  Certain individuals go to great lengths to get drugs using, whatever means necessary.  It becomes the master of the individual’s life.  It will crush someone’s emotional, spiritual, and physical health, wreaking havoc in every aspect of their life.
