Club Drugs

Club drugs have become mainstream for young adults and teens, especially in the rave/club scene. MDMA (Ecstasy), GHB, Ketamine, Rohypnol (Roofies), Methamphetamine (Crystal Meth), and LSD are club drugs.

Club drugs are deemed as fun party drugs, and are often taken at raves, in clubs and at parties. Club drugs are comprised of several different dangerous substances and can cause various hazardous effects, including hallucinations, blackouts and hyperthermia.

MDMA for example, can cause hyperthermia, or heat stroke, which is compounded by the rave setting. Alternatively, X can trigger extreme thirst, causing the user to drink too much water, leaving the body with low levels of salt, a condition called hyponatremia.

Another dangerous form of club drugs is Ketamine, also known as Special K and Cat Valium. This drug has similar effects as found in PCP, such as hallucinations, and can cause fatal respiratory depression.

One danger is the little amount of knowledge regarding the consistency of club drugs and how they are manufactured. GHB, for example, is constructed from household cleaning agents. Ecstasy, especially in the scene for club drugs, often does not contain MDMA, but rather, unknown substances.

Lakeview Health Systems has been offering first-class drug treatment for more than 10 years. We can help you or your loved one with abuse or addiction to club drugs. Call us at 1-800-657-4357.

Another serious trend with club drugs is their association with sexual assault. Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), also known as Grievous Bodily Harm or G, can be produced in a clear liquid or white powder form. GHB has a sedating effect, as does Rohypnol or Roofies. This particular character of club drugs comes from benzodiazepines. It is tasteless and odorless, and causes an amnesia-like effect. Both of these club drugs have been referred to as "date rape" drugs.

To increase their effects, club drugs are taken in combination with other club drugs or alcohol. Club drugs also can be taken in succession, as one high wears off the user takes or "bumps" to a new type of club drug.

At Lakeview Health Systems, we understand the seriousness of abusing club drugs and the issues surrounding them. Find recovery at 1-800-657-4357.

Club drugs are of great concern when it comes to America's youth, their primary users. XTC and LSD are club drugs that have been on the decline with high school students, but last year's MTF survey shows Ecstasy use is again on the rise, with 6.5 percent of 12th graders reporting a lifetime use of Ecstasy.

The rise of club drugs over the past decade or so has resulted in government action. In 2000 the Methamphetamine Anti-Proliferation Act gave training to law enforcement and increased sentencing for MDMA offenders.

The Ecstasy Anti-Proliferation Act of 2000 was put forth to combat use and trafficking of MDMD, and to help the NIDA accomplish its research goals to better understand and treat MDMA club drugs. The Act prompted an increase in jail sentences for those convicted of Ecstasy trafficking.
