Benzodiazepine Addiction

Benzodiazepine Addiction Treatment is used to treat benzodiazepine addiction and use disorder.  Benzodiazepines belong to the prescription sedative class of drugs. Although benzodiazepines have a calming effect, they are highly addictive, and a person who abuses them faces a host of symptoms. Some of the physical, psychological, and behavioral symptoms of benzodiazepine abuse include:

• Weakness
• Blurred vision
• Drowsiness
• Poor judgment or thinking
• Doctor shopping
• Asking friends, family, colleagues, and/or classmates for their benzodiazepine pills
• Wanting to cut back on the volume of abuse but not being able to do so
• Mood changes
• Risk-taking behaviors, such as driving after abusing benzodiazepines
• Combining benzodiazepines with alcohol or other drugs

Due to the natural process of building a tolerance, over time, a person will require a higher volume of benzodiazepines to reach the familiar high. When the abuse stops or the familiar dose is significantly cut down, withdrawal symptoms will emerge. Benzodiazepine withdrawal can be particularly dangerous and even life-threatening. Undergoing medical detox under the direct care of a doctor is generally advised.

The success of a person’s recovery depends on the level of personalized treatment provided. When we say our treatment is individualized, we mean that we craft a program tailored to address the client’s unique physical, mental and emotional needs.

In the client’s first 24 hours with us, we’ll evaluate their current state and work to understand what challenges they need to overcome. They’ll also have an initial session with our doctor and meet with one of our licensed mental health professionals.

After the initial evaluations, we’ll design a treatment plan with the sole mission of helping the client overcome and heal from addiction. Their program will focus on things such as:

• Addressing and Identifying root causes of addiction.
• Creating a support system.
• Developing healthy stress management techniques.
• Eliminating Substance use.
• Learning how to communicate emotions effectively.
• Maintaining a healthier lifestyle.
• Repairing damaged relationships.
