Case Report: Dust Remover Inhalant Use Disorder in an Individual in Early Remission from Alcohol Use Disorder Treated with Naltrexone
This is the first follow-up case of dust remover-IUD treated with naltrexone described in the literature. This case is clinically important for several reasons, including its atypical age of presentation, rapid progression, medical consequences, and positive response to multimodal treatment. The easy availability and lack of regulation of many inhalants, such as DFE, combined with the inability to be detected in regular screening tests, make this phenomenon a potential public health threat. We hypothesize that, consistent with previous reports, there might be a common neurobiological signature between AUD and IUD.
