Benzodiazepine (benzo) addiction is a serious and growing issue, impacting people from all walks of life. These prescription medications, often used to treat anxiety or insomnia, can be highly addictive when misused. At DeNovo Recovery, we offer a comprehensive approach to benzo addiction treatment that combines medical care, counseling, and ongoing support to help you regain control of your life.
Understanding Benzo Addiction
Benzodiazepines, such as Xanax, Valium, and Ativan, are prescribed to help with anxiety, panic disorders, and insomnia. While they can be effective for short-term use, prolonged use can lead to dependency and addiction. Signs of benzo addiction include:
- Increased tolerance, requiring higher doses to achieve the same effect
- Difficulty stopping or reducing use
- Withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, or seizures
- Using the medication for non-prescribed reasons
Benzo addiction can have consequences for physical and mental health. Without treatment, the cycle of addiction can lead to dangerous side effects and long-term damage. Learn more about the signs and symptoms of Xanax addiction.
Why Seek Professional Benzo Addiction Treatment?
Overcoming benzo addiction requires more than just willpower. Abruptly stopping benzodiazepine use can cause dangerous withdrawal symptoms, making medically supervised detoxification necessary. At DeNovo Recovery, our programs provide a safe environment for recovery, addressing the physical and psychological aspects of addiction.
