What To Know About Inhalant Addiction

While often overlooked, inhalant abuse is a serious and dangerous condition. Huffing substances like aerosols or solvents can lead to dependency, brain damage, or even sudden death. 

At Mountain Valley Recovery, we provide a men-only addiction treatment program that blends expert care, outdoor experiences, and structure, empowering individuals to break free from huffing abuse without the need for short-term fixes.

Symptoms Of Inhalant Abuse

The signs and symptoms of inhalant abuse can appear quickly and may mimic other issues, making them hard to spot. But early recognition can be key to successful healing.

Look for these inhalant use symptoms:

  • Chemical odors on breath or clothing
  • Loss of appetite or rapid weight change
  • Mood swings or anxiety
  • Frequent lightheadedness or fainting
  • Poor judgment and risky behavior
  • Social withdrawal 
  • Physical weakness or fatigue

If these behaviors are present, inhalant rehab may be the best way to reclaim your health and future.

FAQ About Our Inhalant Addiction Treatment

Are there withdrawal symptoms of inhalants?

Yes, although withdrawal symptoms of inhalants are often less recognized than with other substances, they can be intense. Symptoms may include anxiety, irritability, nausea, sweating, tremors, and sleep disturbances. Psychological symptoms like depression and cravings are also common. These symptoms make it difficult to stop without professional inhalant addiction treatment and support.

What are the side effects of inhalants on the body and brain?

They can be both immediate and long-term. Short-term effects may include dizziness, nausea, slurred speech, and hallucinations. Over time, inhalant use can result in liver and kidney damage, memory loss, hearing problems, and permanent brain damage. In some cases, even one use can cause sudden sniffing death due to heart failure.

What are the different types of inhalant drugs?

There are four main types of inhalant drugs: volatile solvents (e.g., paint thinners, glue), aerosols (e.g., spray paints, deodorants), gases (e.g., butane, propane, nitrous oxide), and nitrites (e.g., “poppers”). Each category affects the brain differently but can lead to similar addictive behaviors. These substances are often used by huffing or sniffing, which quickly delivers toxins to the bloodstream and brain. Repeated use of any type can result in long-term damage.

How long does inhalant rehab take?

The length of inhalant rehab varies based on the individual’s needs, but most clients benefit from a long-term approach. Our residential program offers the time and structure needed for deep healing, habit change, and life skill development. Longer stays increase the chances of sustained recovery and relapse prevention. We work closely with each client to determine the optimal duration.

What happens after completing treatment for inhalant addiction?

After completing addiction treatment, clients receive individualized aftercare plans that include counseling referrals, relapse prevention strategies, and life goals. We help young men transition into sober living, work, or school as part of a stable routine. Ongoing support is crucial to maintaining progress. We also encourage alumni to stay connected with our community.
