Understanding GHB addiction and recovery

What you need to know about GHB addiction

GHB addiction is complex, dangerous, and often misunderstood. Our programs are designed to help you stop using GHB safely, manage withdrawal, and build a new way of life.

A young woman lies in bed in the dark, eyes wide open and visibly anxious, struggling with insomnia. The scene captures the sleep disturbances and emotional unrest often experienced by individuals in need of treatment at a GHB rehabilitation centre.

What is GHB addiction?

GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate) is a central nervous system depressant. When abused, it can cause euphoria, but it also increases the risk of overdose, coma, and death. GHB use can lead to dependence, and people often experience strong cravings and a rapid return to use after stopping. Addiction to GHB is a medical condition that requires professional help.

Symptoms of GHB addiction

The effects of GHB withdrawal syndrome can include tremors, insomnia, and intense cravings that are difficult to manage alone. The risk of overdose, as well as serious physical and psychological impacts, make professional help critical for safe withdrawal. GHB use may also cause memory problems and depression, further complicating recovery.

  • Withdrawal from GHB can lead to dangerous medical complications.
  • Cravings often intensify during periods of stress or emotional distress.
  • Symptoms may worsen without proper medical care and supervision.

Effects of GHB addiction

Long-term GHB use can damage both body and mind. Using GHB regularly can cause seizures, irregular breathing, and increase the risk of overdose. It can also lead to severe anxiety, depression, and feelings of isolation. The physical and psychological effects of GHB abuse make it a dangerous and unpredictable drug, especially when combined with other substances.

  • Chronic GHB use can disrupt sleep and mood regulation.
  • Many users experience worsening anxiety and paranoia over time.
  • The risk of overdose increases when mixing GHB with other substances.

FAQs about GHB rehab services

What does a typical day in inpatient GHB rehab look like?

A typical day in our inpatient GHB rehab is structured to provide stability, routine, and focused support. Clients start the day with breakfast and a group check-in, where we set daily intentions and reflect on challenges. Mornings include therapy sessions like individual counselling, group therapy, and relapse prevention workshops. These sessions focus on understanding GHB withdrawal symptoms, learning coping strategies, and building emotional resilience.

Afternoons include psychoeducation about GHB use, relapse risk factors, and managing triggers. Clients also engage in wellness activities — yoga, mindfulness, and gentle movement — to support both physical and psychological recovery. Evenings are for reflection, with quiet time, journaling, and peer connection. The structure helps clients manage withdrawal syndrome, cravings, and emotions while staying focused on their recovery journey.

  • Group therapy fosters connection and reduces isolation.
  • Individual therapy explores personal triggers and mental health needs.
  • Wellness activities promote balance and reduce the risk of relapse.

Inpatient rehab typically lasts 30 to 90 days, but the recovery journey continues well beyond that.

  • Aftercare helps clients stay connected to their rehab team.
  • Therapy supports emotional healing and relapse prevention.
