Hello,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concern related to withdrawal symptoms of Methamphetamine and GHB.

I like to inform you that there is no specific treatment but the supportive treatment is available to diminish/ control withdrawal symptoms of both these substances.

Various kind of psychotropics are used for this purpose on the basis of emergent symptoms.
