Benzo Detox

Benzodiazepines, also known as benzos, are depressants used in medical settings to reduce anxiety, relax muscles, and produce other sedative effects1. When mixed with other sedatives, benzos can be incredibly dangerous, and they’re problematic on their own as well. These highly addictive drugs require medical detoxification if patients are to find their sobriety. At Banyan Treatment Centers, we offer medically supervised drug and alcohol treatment, and our medical detoxification process can help with benzo detox. You should never detox from benzos at home, and here is why.

The Importance of a Medical Detoxification Process for Benzos Detox

Drugs that influence the nervous system within the brain have some of the most challenging withdrawal symptoms. Benzos work by weakening the influence of inhibitory interneurons in the brain2. These neurons work to prevent too much dopamine from flooding the brain, but benzos stop these cells from doing their job, resulting in a rush of dopamine and a pleasurable feeling2. This is what makes drugs like benzos so addictive, but it’s also what makes them so dangerous3.

Benzo detox symptoms include:

  • Palpitations
  • Tremors
  • Seizures
  • Nightmares Metallic Taste
  • Panic Attacks
  • Poor Concentration
  • Hallucinations
  • Delirium
  • Depression
  • Perceptual Distortions

The exact benzo detox timeline will vary from patient to patient, depending on the duration of use and severity of benzo detox symptoms. These symptoms are not simple discomfort or something that can be treated at home. You should not, under any circumstances, detox from benzos without full medical detoxification processes. Our medical detoxification service supports safe and effective benzo detox by mitigating any symptoms and addressing any dangers through round-the-clock medical support at our center for medical detoxification in Pompano.

Addiction is a combination of chemical, behavioral, and even emotional processes. To safely treat addiction, a prescription drug detox and treatment program must address each aspect of an individual’s addiction.
