Inhalant addiction doesn’t always require traditional detox, but professional treatment will help you on your journey to recovery. At New Life House, we help young men access inpatient and outpatient substance abuse treatment programs through our partnership with Clear Behavioral Health.
Inpatient rehab and treatment programs
Clear’s substance use disorder programs offer individual and group therapy, counseling, drug abuse education, teach healthy coping skills, and relapse prevention strategies. These methods are used to address inhalant dependence, provide accountability, and foster emotional healing. Once you complete treatment at Clear Behavioral Health, you’ll make a smooth transition to New Life House and build upon the progress you’ve already made.

- Comprehensive psychiatric support
- Evidence-based treatment options such as TMS therapy
- Ongoing medication management when appropriate
What is inhalant addiction?
Inhalants are household or industrial chemicals, commonly inhaled or huffed through a paper or plastic bag to achieve a quick high. Even though they are accessible, these substances can be extremely dangerous, causing brain damage, organ failure, and even death after just one use.

Most of the time, inhalants produce a brief and intense high that can be difficult to notice. That being said, there are certain signs and symptoms to watch out for.
Physical symptoms:
- Dizziness or lack of coordination
- Nausea or vomiting
- Slurred speech
- Chronic cough or nasal irritation
- Organ damage with long-term use
Mental and emotional symptoms:
- Mood swings or depression
- Confusion and memory problems
- Poor judgment or risky behavior
- Cravings or compulsive use
- Isolation from family and friends
Types of inhalants
There are many types of commonly abused inhalants, some of which can be found in almost every household, including:
- Whipped cream dispensers (whippits)
- Nitrous oxide
- Aerosol sprays
