Am J Addict. 2001 Winter;10(1):79-94. Brouette T, Anton R. Department of Psychiatry, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, USA. trpbrouette@earthlink.net While the rate of inhalant abuse continues to rise in this country, it remains one of the least studied or discussed groups of abused substances. This review focuses on the current knowledge of the epidemiology, pharmacology, and sequela of inhalant abuse. We will discuss three groups of inhalants: volatile solvents, nitrous oxide, and nitrites. We will then conclude by proposing means by which inhalant abuse may be prevented and treated.
