GBL Detox
GBL (gamma-butyrolactone) detox is the process of safely removing GBL from the body, a chemical that, when ingested, converts to GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyric acid) and has potent sedative and euphoric effects. Detoxification from GBL can be particularly challenging due to the severe withdrawal symptoms it can provoke, which may include anxiety, tremors, insomnia, hallucinations, and, in severe cases, life-threatening conditions such as seizures.
Due to these potential risks, GBL detox typically requires medical supervision in a specialised facility where healthcare professionals can monitor symptoms and administer medications to mitigate withdrawal effects and ensure the patient’s safety.
