Understanding Inhalant Addiction
Inhalants may seem harmless due to their presence in everyday products like spray paint, glue, or cleaning agents, but when misused, these substances can quickly become life-threatening. At Leucadia Detox in Encinitas, we recognize the complexity of inhalant use disorders—especially among younger individuals who are often drawn to the fast, euphoric high. Whether it’s huffing from a rag, bagging gas, or snorting from an aerosol can, inhalant misuse floods the brain with chemicals that impair judgment, coordination, and consciousness—sometimes fatally on the first use.
Over time, repeated use can lead to irreversible damage to the liver, brain, and bone marrow. But recovery is possible. At Maven Recovery Centers, we provide evidence-based treatment that starts with medically supervised detox, followed by personalized inpatient care, and continues with a strong aftercare support system. Here in San Diego County, we’re more than a detox center—we’re a recovery community where healing begins and hope is restored.
