Over the years, a variety of prescription drugs have become major sources of addiction that can lead to serious problems. For some addicts, the problem is caused by a drug used in the course of illness. 

Others, using a medication that causes euphoria and tranquility is difficult to resist. The drug that creates the sensation of euphoria as well as that strange tranquility is the reason why the person you love or might require GHB addiction treatment.

Schedule 1 Drug

GHB, Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate, is a Schedule I controlled substance. GHB is classified as a central nerve system depressant. It can cause several adverse effects that many users of drugs find enjoyable.

It was first discovered in Europe as an analgesic; it has since been extensively abused and has become the most popular drug to use for illicit purposes across many nations. 

Bodybuilders as well as GHB

A lot of bodybuilders have admitted to using this drug due to its anabolic and steroid properties. There aren't any studies that prove this drug helps to build muscle mass or aid people in losing weight. Instead, it's extremely addictive and can cause many grave side effects, the most serious being a respiratory coma or anxiety. 

Crackdowns in the use of Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate by government officials led to the creation of another drug closely related to GHB. The new formulation is known as Gamma-Butyrolactone, GBL for short. GBL is widely employed in nightclubs and gyms. The chemical that makes this drug turns into GHB within the body.
