Modesto, California Drug Rehab Centers

Club drugs have become increasingly popular among California teens who mistakenly believe that they're a harmless, non-addictive form of recreation.

What makes club drugs like MDMA (Ecstasy), ketamine (Special K) and GHB (Liquid Ecstasy) so alluring and so dangerous? These drugs are widely available at bars, nightclubs, private parties, raves and other venues in Modesto. While a lot of teens assume that club drugs are non-addictive, many of these drugs are made with methamphetamine or other central nervous stimulants that have a high abuse potential.
