Answer by jannsody
Treatment for inhalant use is similar to those getting treated for addiction of other substances but the inhalant user may need more structure in their program such as an inpatient (residential) one. (People who have an addiction to other types of drugs and/or alcohol may require inpatient treatment, too, but the products used for huffing are so readily available that inpatient treatment may be the best option.)
My friend has a BRAIN INJURY from huffing at the age of 12, now in her 30s. Please do NOT inhale ANY types of fumes or chemical vapors, and talk to your children (or younger siblings, cousins) about the dangers of inhalant use.
Other risks of huffing include sight loss/blindness, heart/liver/kidney damage, seizures, limb spasms, hearing loss and even death, all of which can happen after the very FIRST time of use.
