What are Inhalants?

An inhalant is any substance that is inhaled to achieve some sort of altered mental state or to address a medical need. Some inhalants can be prescribed, like an asthma inhaler, but most people who are addicted to inhalants misuse household products that can be sniffed and huffed. Everything from aerosol sprays and permanent glues to gasoline and cleaners are frequently the sources of inhalant addictions.

What Harm Do Inhalants Cause?

The damage done to the user by an inhalant will depend on what has been inhaled. Some substances will do minimal or gradual damage, but others can cause immediate harm. In either case, repeated use is dangerous and could cause lifelong consequences.

Short-term effects of inhalant abuse include:

  • Temporary speech impediment
  • Dizziness and a loss of balance
  • Headache or migraine
  • Nausea or vomiting

Certain inhalants are capable of causing permanent memory loss, too, especially when regarding memories closely linked to a certain scent. An inhalant can also cause the user to hallucinate for minutes or hours, which can place them in a heightened state of paranoia.

Long-term effects of inhalant abuse include:

  • Liver failure
  • Kidney damage
  • Loss of smell or hearing due to sinus damage
  • Permanent nerve damage
  • Lung cancer or disease
  • Brain death

How Can You Tell If You’re Addicted to Inhalants?

A single use of an inhalant that has not been prescribed is an indicator of a serious problem. If you have huffed, sniffed, or inhaled a household product just to feel “high” from its effects, then you could already be addicted to it. Please seek our help today if you need to fight your inhalant addiction.
