Benzodiazepine Addiction Treatment
Overcome Dependence and Regain Control with Compassionate, Expert Care
Benzodiazepines—commonly called benzos—are often prescribed to ease anxiety, improve sleep, or control seizures. While helpful in short-term use, long-term reliance or misuse can lead to dependence and serious withdrawal challenges.
At Evolutions Detox in Northridge, CA, we specialize in helping individuals safely overcome benzodiazepine addiction. Through personalized treatment, medical supervision, and compassionate support, our goal is to help you rebuild confidence, clarity, and control over your life.
Understanding Benzodiazepines and Their Risks
Benzodiazepines work by enhancing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that reduces activity in the brain, creating calm and sedation. While effective when prescribed correctly, prolonged or excessive use can alter brain chemistry—leading to tolerance, dependency, and addiction.
Commonly prescribed benzodiazepines include:
Xanax (alprazolam) – For anxiety and panic disorders
Klonopin (clonazepam) – For seizures and panic attacks
Ativan (lorazepam) – For acute anxiety and agitation
Valium (diazepam) – For muscle spasms and anxiety management
Even when used as prescribed, the risk of dependence increases with duration and dosage. Professional treatment is essential for a safe and sustainable recovery.
Recognizing the Signs of Benzodiazepine Addiction
Benzodiazepine addiction can develop gradually, often without the individual realizing the severity of dependence. Common warning signs include:
Behavioral Indicators
Taking higher doses or using without medical guidance
Visiting multiple doctors or pharmacies for refills
Difficulty controlling use despite negative consequences
Physical Symptoms
Fatigue, tremors, or unsteady movement
Slurred speech or blurred vision
Withdrawal symptoms like sweating, shaking, or seizures
Cognitive and Emotional Effects
Confusion or memory loss
Heightened anxiety or irritability
Emotional detachment or depression
Recognizing these signs early and seeking professional support can prevent serious health risks and promote lasting healing.
