Dangers of Benzo Abuse & Addiction

Benzos are often mixed with alcohol and other drugs. When benzos are mixed with alcohol, it causes users to blackout. Blackouts are scary enough in itself, but not knowing actions that are taking place opens up a whole world of concern for the user and their loved ones. It is dangerous to blackout and this being a common occurrence when using benzos is alarming. Benzos mixed with other drugs cause fatal overdoses and account for thousands of deaths a year. Polydrug use is extremely dangerous, and benzos and opiates are a common mix we see in fatal overdoses.
