The term “club drugs” is used to denote these and other drugs because it is at a club or in a club atmosphere, such as an all-night party, sometimes called a rave, that these drugs are most often used. These drugs are also usually very cheap and large amounts of them can be bought for only a few dollars. This makes them especially popular with adolescents and young adults.
Many people believe that because use of these types of drugs is usually limited, both in the situation in which they are consumed, and because of what type they are, that addiction is not possible or is not as much of a threat as it would be with other illicit drugs. Further, because Rohypnal is usually given to a person without her knowledge, many people believe there is no way it can become addictive. This is not true; these drugs can be just as addictive if not more addictive than drugs such as heroin, cocaine, marijuana, or any other of that type.
For this reason, it is important that anyone who uses those or any type of drugs seek help at an addiction treatment center as soon as they are aware that an addiction has occurring or is in danger of happening. The sooner treatment is begun; the faster one can begin the recovery process.
There is an addiction treatment program available for all types of substance abuse, including abuse of the “club drugs” mentioned above as well as others. The staff can determine the extent of the addiction, as well as to which drug a person is addicted and formulate a treatment plan.
