摘要：
Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is a sedative often abused for its euphoric and relaxant effects. This case report looks to discuss a case of GHB intoxication in a 57-year-old gentleman, which resulted in an 11-day hospitalization due to withdrawal effects of his GHB dependence. His hospitalization and care primarily followed usual supportive care treatments; however, a novel use of baclofen to further expedite patient sedation reversal was done. This case report looks to explore the management of this patient's GHB toxicity and eventual resolution of symptoms using baclofen.
