Benzodiazepine Addiction Treatment at Clear Behavioral Health

We’ve designed our benzodiazepine addiction treatment programs to address not only physical dependence but also the emotional and psychological challenges that come with it.

Our comprehensive approach includes medically supervised detox, personalized therapy, and ongoing support tailored to your unique needs. Whether you need inpatient care, outpatient services, or virtual options, our programs are structured to meet you where you are on your recovery journey. 

Initial Addiction Assessment

When you begin treatment with us, our clinical and medical team conducts a thorough assessment to understand your specific benzodiazepine addiction symptoms and needs. This allows us to recommend the level of care that will provide the best outcomes and set the foundation for your recovery.  

Our Residential Rehab for Benzodiazepine Addiction

Our residential rehab for benzo addiction provides a structured, supportive environment where you can focus entirely on recovery. Features include:  

  • Around-the-clock medically supervised care and medication management.  
  • Group and individual therapy to process the root of your addiction.  
  • Case management to develop personalized relapse prevention plans and life skills.  
  • Holistic therapies, such as mindfulness and yoga.  
  • Comfortable accommodations, meals, and community outings.  

Medically Supervised Benzo Detox

Detox is the first step to recovery, ensuring safe withdrawal management under 24/7 medical supervision.

Abruptly stopping benzos can lead to benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome and severe symptoms like seizures, making professional care essential. Benzodiazepine discontinuation is tricky; however, we use gradual tapering methods to minimize risks and discomfort.

    What is Benzodiazepine Addiction?

    Benzodiazepine addictions such as Klonopin addiction, Ativan addiction, Valium addiction, and Xanax addiction, occur when the use of these medications becomes compulsive and unmanageable, despite their negative effects.

    While these drugs are effective for the short-term treatment of anxiety, insomnia, seizures, or panic disorders, prolonged use can lead to severe benzodiazepine dependence.

    Signs and Symptoms of Benzodiazepine Addiction

    Signs of addiction vary but may include:  

    • Loss of Control: Difficulty stopping or reducing use despite repeated attempts.  
    • Tolerance: Increasing doses to achieve desired effects.  
    • Cognitive Issues: Memory loss, difficulty concentrating and learning impairment. 
    • Behavioral Changes: Secrecy, doctor shopping, or lying about use.  
    • Physical Symptoms: Slurred speech, drowsiness, or poor coordination.  
    • Neglect of Responsibilities: Ignoring work, family, or personal obligations.  
    • Mood Changes: Depression, irritability, or agitation.  
    • Withdrawal Symptoms: Anxiety, tremors, insomnia, headaches, and can even lead to seizures or death with sudden cessation. 

     

    What are Benzodiazepines?

    Benzodiazepines are a type of central nervous system depressant commonly prescribed to treat anxiety disorders, sleep disorders, and conditions that cause seizures. These medications work by enhancing the brain’s natural calming neurotransmitter, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Over time, your body builds up a tolerance, requiring higher doses to achieve the same effect. As dependency develops, you may prioritize avoiding withdrawal symptoms over addressing the original issue, like anxiety or sleep problems. 

    Types of Benzodiazepines 

    • Xanax (Alprazolam): Often prescribed for anxiety and panic disorders, Xanax addiction can develop quickly due to its fast-acting effects.    
    • Valium (Diazepam): Commonly used for anxiety, muscle spasms, and alcohol withdrawal, Valium has a longer half-life, but dependency can still form over time.    
    • Ativan (Lorazepam): Prescribed for severe anxiety or insomnia, Ativan addiction can lead to intense withdrawal symptoms, making it difficult to quit without medical support.    
    • Klonopin (Clonazepam): Used for panic disorders and seizures, Klonopin addiction often involves tolerance and severe cravings.    
    • Restoril (Temazepam): A sleep aid that can cause dependency when used long-term for insomnia.    

    Each type of benzodiazepine has unique characteristics, but all carry the risk of addiction if misused.    

    Prescription drug abuse that leads to addiction is not a sign of weakness. It is a complex disorder that requires medical and therapeutic intervention for recovery. 

    How Benzodiazepines Take Control  

    You may be prescribed benzodiazepines to address anxiety or sleep issues. However, tolerance builds over time, leading to increased doses and dependency. Alternatively, you may be exposed to illicit benzodiazepines which poses a specific set of dangers including counterfeit prescription drugs that are commonly laced with fentanyl.

    Either way, addiction may manifest in neglecting responsibilities, social withdrawal, and using the drug to avoid benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms rather than its intended purpose.  

    Without intervention, long-term substance abuse can lead to substance use disorder, cognitive decline, liver damage, and exacerbated mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression. 

    Benzodiazepine Abuse and Neglect  

    Benzodiazepine misuse often starts subtly, you might find yourself needing to take higher doses or using the medication for longer than prescribed. As addiction progresses, it can lead to neglect of personal care, work, and relationships. The cycle of abuse can cause:  

    • Physical Harm: Liver damage, gastrointestinal issues, or neurological problems.  
    • Mental Strain: Increased anxiety, mood swings, or memory impairment.  
    • Risky Behaviors: Combining benzodiazepines with other drugs, which raises the risk of overdose.

      • Are benzos narcotics?

        No, benzodiazepines are not classified as narcotics. They belong to a class of drugs known as sedatives or tranquilizers, which act on the central nervous system to produce calming effects. Common examples of benzodiazepines include Xanax (alprazolam), Valium (diazepam), Ativan (lorazepam), and Klonopin (clonazepam). These medications are primarily prescribed for conditions like anxiety, insomnia, seizures, and muscle spasms.

        On the other hand, narcotics typically refer to opioids, a separate class of drugs used primarily for pain relief, such as morphine, oxycodone, or heroin. While both benzodiazepines and opioids have the potential for abuse and addiction, they work in different ways and are used to treat different conditions.

        I can’t say enough good things about Clear Behavioral Health. The care that I received was exceptional. The staff are very professional and committed to providing outstanding treatment. They go out of their way to cultivate an atmosphere of compassion, awareness, and recovery.

        The multi-pronged approach; the counselors, individual therapy, nutrition, sympathetic/empathetic counselors of each group session shifted my brain paths. You are never finished there, even when you “graduate”, they hold alumni group sessions when you feel you need it. I have nothing but gratitude for their program.

      • star star star star star

        Clear Behavioral Health is my second family that I never knew I had that supported me and continues to passionately support the sober community. The therapists, counselors and group facilitators have been amazing in helping me have a voice, loving myself again, and seeing the world in a new light. I am eternally grateful.

        From the get go, the staff made me feel welcome and were all very friendly. My therapist and case manager were also very helpful and supportive throughout the whole process. I found that the somatic therapy was the most valuable for me, the therapist who ran those groups was great. My biggest takeaway from treatment was to take the time to pause, not be afraid to ask for help, and not worry about things in the moment. If you are looking for meaningful change and being part of a new and supportive community, then Clear Behavioral Health is the right fit.

        Overall I loved the experience and did not want to leave. The staff was very helpful and motivated me to stay even when I felt like running away. I also built meaningful connections with my therapist and case manager who gave me a lot of useful advice and are still supporting me today. Since leaving, my family and sponsor have noticed a big difference, and I could not recommend a more supportive environment for addiction and mental health treatment, Clear saved my life.
