Why expert support is critical for GHB addiction

Our GHB rehab programs combine medical detox, therapy, and relapse prevention to help you stop using GHB and regain control. We support clients through every stage of the recovery journey, with a personalised approach that builds confidence, resilience, and hope for the future.

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.

We’ve written a quick blog about that’ll answer some more of your questions.

How does medical detox support clients withdrawing from GHB?

Our medical detox uses treatment medications for GHB (such as benzodiazepines for seizures and anxiety) to manage these risks. Clients receive 24/7 care in our accredited rehab centre, with regular monitoring to ensure safety and comfort.

Can you recover from GHB addiction without inpatient care?

GHB is a central nervous system depressant that can cause severe withdrawal symptoms, including seizures, tremor, and insomnia. While some people try to detox at home or attend outpatient treatment, the risk of relapse, overdose, and medical complications is high. Inpatient rehab provides a safe, controlled environment where clients receive medical care, therapy, and support tailored to their needs.

Our GHB rehab in Melbourne offers 24/7 supervision, personalised therapy, and relapse prevention strategies. This structured support helps clients stop using GHB safely, understand their triggers, and build coping skills for long-term recovery.

GHB detox often requires medications like benzodiazepines to manage acute withdrawal symptoms such as seizures, anxiety, and insomnia. Other medications, such as mood stabilisers or sleep aids, may also be used depending on individual needs. Our team monitors clients closely and adjusts treatment plans based on the severity of withdrawal symptoms.

GHB addiction treatment is not just about detox. Therapy, relapse prevention, and support for mental health are critical. We use a comprehensive treatment model that combines medical care with therapy and peer support to ensure long-term recovery.

Recovery from GHB addiction is not a linear process. Acute withdrawal symptoms like cravings, tremor, and insomnia can last for days or weeks. Long-term recovery involves therapy, relapse prevention, and support for co-occurring mental health issues. Inpatient rehab typically lasts 30 to 90 days, but the recovery journey continues well beyond that.

depends entirely on the individual and their unique needs. Some may need longer inpatient care, while others transition to outpatient treatment or aftercare programs. What’s important is staying engaged with treatment, learning relapse prevention skills, and building a strong support network.

  • Recovery is a gradual process that requires patience.
  • Aftercare helps clients stay connected to their rehab team.
  • Therapy supports emotional healing and relapse prevention.

What support is available for families during rehab?

Families often feel lost when a loved one is struggling with GHB addiction. We offer family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and peer support groups to help families understand GHB use, withdrawal symptoms, and the risk of relapse. These reduce stigma, improve communication, and strengthen family relationships during recovery.

  • Family therapy sessions promote understanding and empathy.

  • Peer support connects families with shared experiences.
