GHB and Meth: Unpacking the Risks with Shalini Arunogiri

I think a lot of this paper was really informed and driven from a clinical space, primarily because clinicians were saying that we were seeing more people with ghb problems presenting, seeking treatment for ghb, and so that was new to us.
Imagine walking into a party and seeing a mix of substances being used casually. In this episode, Suzi Gage chats with researcher Shalini Arunogiri about her eye-opening findings on GHB-related harms. GHB, often seen in recreational settings, poses significant risks, especially when combined with other substances like methamphetamine. Arunogiri dives into the alarming rise of GHB-related issues that clinicians have noticed, prompting her to investigate further.
She emphasizes the importance of understanding the culture surrounding GHB use and calls for tailored treatment approaches for those dealing with multiple dependencies. If you're curious about the hidden dangers of recreational drug use and the need for better harm reduction strategies, this episode offers crucial insights.
