Learn About Benzodiazepine Addiction Treatment
Treatment for benzodiazepine addiction at Bradford Recovery Center in Millerton, PA
Benzodiazepines, commonly referred to as benzos, are a class of drugs typically used to treat anxiety and insomnia. Doctors also prescribe benzos to reduce seizures and minimize symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. Benzodiazepines have hypnotic, sedative, and anxiolytic properties. Because benzos affect the central nervous system, their impact on the body and brain is almost immediate. People who take benzodiazepines often experience clear thoughts, relaxation, and deeper sleep.
When prescribed appropriately and taken under the guidance of a doctor, benzodiazepines can help with a variety of psychological and neurological disorders. The most commonly prescribed benzos are Ativan, Klonopin, Valium, and Xanax. Benzos are highly effective and, therefore, frequently misused. Many people misuse benzodiazepines for their sedative, and at times euphoric, qualities. Unfortunately, benzodiazepines are highly addictive. Given their addictive nature, benzos are most often prescribed to manage short-term symptoms of anxiety. But when an individual misuses benzos, they can develop a tolerance to the drug, a dependence on its effects, and, if left unmonitored, an addiction.
If you develop an addiction to benzodiazepines, symptoms can be highly difficult to control on your own. Addictions are chronic, meaning that they typically do not go away without clinical intervention. With the proper support and guidance, you can learn to manage the symptoms of benzodiazepine addiction.
By seeking care at Bradford Recovery Center, located in Millerton, Pennsylvania, you can achieve long-term recovery from benzodiazepine addiction. At our residential treatment center, we offer evidence-based treatment services in an environment that is physically, mentally, and spiritually enriching.
