Inhalant Addiction

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

This chapter is divided into seven sections, beginning with a general overview of this group of substances, their definitions, and the current classification of the disorders associated with their use. This is followed by a description of prevalence, the groups of the population affected, and the patterns of use in different regions of the world. Particular attention is paid to use among vulnerable groups, to inhalant effects and consequences, the social determinants that underlie the problem, and opportunities for solution. These sections are followed by a brief overview of the evidence for prevention and treatment strategies currently in use. This chapter ends with a discussion on policies to address the problem.
