Preliminary Web-Based Measures Development for GHB: Expectancies, Functions, and Withdrawal.

Monday, December 19, 2011

Conclusion: Scales have relatively good psychometric properties and replication is needed. Scientific Significance: GHB-specific measures may greatly assist in furthering our understanding of protective and risk factors for use, and withdrawal phenomena

GHB in Sydney, Australia, 2000–2006: A case study of the EDRS as a strategic early warning system

Monday, February 23, 2009

Conclusions: The EDRS has effectively monitored the increase in GHB amongst REU over the past seven years in Sydney, Australia. This increase is unlikely to have been as readily identified by other surveillance systems. (Source: International Journal of Drug Policy)

Are the effects of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) treatment partly physiological in alcohol dependence?

Saturday, July 5, 2008

Authors: Ameisen O It has been hypothesized that the therapeutic effects of Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) in alcohol dependence could be related to ethanol-mimicking action of the drug and that GHB could reduce alcohol craving, intake and withdrawal by acting as a “substitute” of the alcohol in the central nervous system.
