What Are Benzos and Why Are They Risky?
Benzodiazepines, or benzos, are a type of prescription sedative. They can have a calming effect on you when you take them, but they are very addictive. Often, they have numerous psychological, physical, and behavioral side effects that put you at risk for overdose. Doctors prescribe this class of drugs to help people who are struggling with anxiety, insomnia, seizures, or muscle pain. Yet, they are commonly abused by people who take them. And for people who predisposed to overuse or misuse drugs, benzos can be extremely dangerous.
Common benzos include drugs such as the following, many of which you might have heard of:
- Niravam
- Valium
- Halcion
- Ativan
- Xanax
- Klonopin
Over time, the brain becomes dependent on these drugs. You need to use more and more of them to get the same relief or high. You also have intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms when you stop using them. If you are using any of these either by prescription or through illicit means, you must seek out professional help in a benzo addiction treatment center like the one at Alina Lodge so that you can stop using them.
Do I Need a Benzo Addiction Treatment Program?
Every individual with a substance use problem is different. This is why at Alina Lodge, we have designed our program to address each of our guests’ unique needs. If you are not sure if you have an addiction, consider a few common warning signs:
- You have consistently run out of your prescription before you should.
- You experience physical weakness, poor motor control, or suffer from tremors when using benzos.
- You’ve overdosed before.
- You have heightened anxiety.
- You have experienced blackouts or “lost time” while on benzos.
One of the most prominent features of benzo abuse is how isolating it can be. Many people will start to withdraw from friends and activities they enjoyed as addiction worsens. You may lie to your family and friends. You may be more willing to engage in risky behavior. These are all high-risk situations that can be addressed in a benzo addiction treatment program.
