What is Benzodiazepine Dependence?

Benzodiazepines, also known as benzos, are a class of medications known as tranquilizers. These drugs slow down your nervous system, lower anxiety levels and cause muscle relaxation. They are commonly prescribed for anxiety, panic disorders, epilepsy, insomnia or muscle relaxation. But when taken long term, they can become addictive.

Commonly abused benzos include:

Alprazolam (Xanax)

Lorazepam (Ativan)

Diazepam (Valium)

Clonazepam (Klonopin)

Effects of Benzodiazepine Dependence

This is when a person becomes physically and psychologically dependent on benzos. Their central nervous system becomes accustomed to taking the drug, and when stopped, they may feel withdrawal symptoms. Some of the long-term consequences of benzodiazepine abuse could include:

  • Financial instability or inability to hold down a job
  • Strained relationships 
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Self-harm
  • Suicidal thoughts and ideation
  • Legal problems
  • Homelessness

Individualized
Benzodiazepine Treatment

Maple Mountain Wellness Center tailors treatment for benzodiazepine abuse to the unique needs of each person we serve. We understand the recovery journey looks different for everyone. However, there are some general steps that most treatment programs follow:

  • Detox: The process of removing benzodiazepines from the body. It is usually done in a supervised medical setting to minimize physical symptoms of withdrawal.
  • Sub-Acute Detox: This form of detox helps people gradually reduce their dependence. It involves a combination of medication and counseling. 
  • Social Detox: This form of detox involves removing yourself from your usual social environment and surrounding yourself with people who support your recovery journey.
  • Rehabilitation: Maple Mountain Wellness offers both inpatient and outpatient rehab. It typically involves individual therapy, group therapy and other support services to help address the root of your addiction and build healthy coping strategies.
  • Aftercare: This is the phase of treatment that occurs after the individual has completed their rehabilitation program. Aftercare is extremely important to continue receiving support during this time to help prevent relapse.
