Benzodiazepine Addiction Treatment

We know every individual who comes to us with a need for addiction to benzodiazepines treatment is different. At Transformations By The Gulf, we take a holistic approach, which means building a customized recovery plan.

We offer three primary options:

• Day Treatment With Community Housing: Take part in benzo addiction treatment during the day in our comfortable housing near the beach and return to your home and life at night.
• Residential Treatment: Best for more severe addiction circumstances, our residential treatment takes place in a home-like environment with 24/7 access to addiction specialists.
• Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): Ideal for those who may not need partial hospitalization or residential treatment, IOP involves nine hours weekly of group and individual counseling sessions.

Benzodiazepines are considered a psychoactive or psychotropic drug, which means they affect neural transmissions in the brain to induce a sense of calm. The medication can act as a tranquilizer, but may create a more euphoric state in higher doses. Benzos can be short- or long-acting — with short-acting benzos prescribed for acute situations and processed faster. Long-acting benzos stay in the system for extended periods.

Taking benzos may lead to a rapid dependence on the medication. Individuals can become reliant on the calming effects on the mind and body. Quitting without professional help can be difficult and dangerous.

One in three people who take benzodiazepines for more than six months may experience health problems if they stop, including seizures. Further, taking benzos every day for just one month could lead to withdrawal symptoms.

Short-term use of benzos can cause:

• Excessive fatigue
• Depression
• Changes in appetite or gastrointestinal distress
• Slowed or slurred speech
• Respiratory depression
• Impaired memory, coordination or cognition

Long-term benzo use may lead to:

• Major personality changes
• Slowed or delayed reflexes
• Aggressive or erratic behavior
• Cognitive decline

Committing to benzodiazepine addiction recovery means you will gain access to the professional, medical guidance needed to overcome the problem.

Some benefits of formal benzo rehab include:

• Safe detox under caring supervision
• Support from peers and professionals
• A personalized recovery plan
• Greater chances of success and relapse prevention
