Benzo Addiction Treatment

Benzos, also known as benzodiazepines, are a type of psychoactive drug that is often prescribed to treat conditions including anxiety, panic disorders, seizures, and insomnia. Benzos are depressants that work by targeting the central nervous system, blocking any excessive nerve activity from occurring. The most commonly used benzodiazepines are Valium, Xanax, Ativan, and Klonopin. When benzos are prescribed, they are normally meant to be used for a short period of time. However, like many other prescription drugs, benzos have a potential for abuse, and any sort of misuse can lead to addiction. While many believe that medications are safer because they’re prescribed by a doctor, the abuse or misuse of prescription drugs can have a negative impact on a person’s health. Individuals with this disease may need to receive benzodiazepine addiction treatment to recover and get sober.

At our drug and alcohol treatment center, we’ve seen the harm benzo addiction can cause in a person’s life. We treat this form of substance abuse with our benzo addiction treatment. This rehab program offers individualized care that safely and effectively meets the patient’s needs.

Signs of Benzo Abuse

While benzos are prescription drugs, they can also be highly addictive and lead to additional health problems. Because they’re depressants, many people will begin to abuse benzos for their sedative effects. The feeling of relaxation they produce can pull users into a dependency if they aren’t careful.

There are signs of benzo addiction that you should watch out for, including:

  • Fatigue
  • Poor judgement
  • Poor decision making
  • Risky or irresponsible behavior
  • Mood swings
  • Blurred vision
  • Headaches
  • Self-isolation
  • Secretive behavior
  • Taking several prescriptions at a time
  • Doctor shopping
  • Stealing

An addiction is a disease, and it can cause people to do desperate things to get their fix. Benzodiazepines have a high capacity for overdose, and the longer the individual uses, the more they’ll have to take to feel its effects. As the person’s tolerance grows, so does their chance of overdosing. At Banyan Treatment Centers, we recommend that our patients begin their benzo addiction treatment with a benzo detox. A detoxification helps flush the drugs out of the person’s system, helping them in physical recovery. The team members who conduct these detoxes also offer medical care to safely manage patient’s symptoms. Undergoing a detox can allow the patient to have a smooth transition to their benzo abuse treatment.

Our Nationwide Benzo Addiction Program

At our rehab center in Florida, we provide effective treatment for benzo addiction in a safe and relaxing setting. Once the patient completes their detox treatment, they will move onto our benzo addiction treatment. This full-time benzo rehab program is designed to take patients out of their everyday environment to combat their addiction without distractions. The early stages of recovery are difficult, and this program ensures that patients are given the opportunity to recover safely, comfortably, and without judgement. During their treatment for benzodiazepine addiction, they will participate in various activities to kick start their recovery journey, including therapies, outdoor activities, individual meetings, and group sessions. At night, patients will stay in the facility to help keep them on track in the more difficult stages of recovery.
