CLUB DRUGS
- ADDICTION & REHABILITATION
|
Club drugs are a broad category of drugs that induce a state of intoxication conducive to long hours of partying and dancing. Popular examples such as Ecstasy (MDMA) and methamphetamine are stimulants and produce an excited active euphoria.
Ecstasy and Methamphetamine are popular enough to deserve their own articles. Other party drugs such as Gamma hydroxybutarate (GHB), Rohypnol, and Ketamine have effects that are along the lines of alcohol, relaxing, sleep inducing and potentially inducing amnesia.
- GHB is FDA approved for the medical treatment of narcolepsy; its effects are powerful suppression of the central nervous system. In cases of intractable insomnia it has also been quite helpful. It has a reputation as a date rape drug and in combination with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants it can cause individuals to lapse into a coma.
- Rohypnol (aka “Roofies”) is also known as a date rape drug and is often used in combination with or in lieu if alcohol to induce an intoxicated euphoria.
- Roofies is often associated with retrograde amnesia making its users susceptible to victimization while under the influence.
- Ketamine (aka “Special K”) is used in veterinary medicine as a tranquilizer. When taken for recreational purposes the desired effect is referred to as “dissociative anesthesia.” Some describe it as a “floaty out of body type of feeling.”
Statistics and Trends:
The NIDA-funded 2007 Monitoring the Future Study showed that
0.7% of 8th graders, 0.7% of 10th graders, and 1.0% of 12th graders had abused Rohypnol;
0.7% of 8th graders, 0.6% of 10th graders, and 0.9% of 12th graders had abused GHB;
and 1.0% of 8th graders, 0.8% of 10th graders, and 1.3% of 12th graders had abused ketamine
at least once in the year prior to their being surveyed.

ADDICTION RECOVERY
- COCAINE -
I had been doing drugs heavily for 16 years and no rehab or therapist could change me.
I was too full of toxins for the twelve-step program to ever work on me. I needed to clean my body out so that I could feel normal enough to fight the desire to do drugs.
Dr Baylac awakened me.
I have remained cocaine free now for 2 years (2008)....
