Benzodiazepines

May 30, 2023 | Anxiety, Stress

New Dimensions offers Drug Rehab for individuals who are struggling with addiction to benzodiazepines

in Houston, Katy, Clear Lake, The Woodlands, Texas and the surrounding areas.

As the diagnosis of anxiety has risen in our society, more and more people have been prescribed
Benzodiazepines in order to help them cope with their feelings of stress or anxiety. The most common
Benzodiazepines are

  • Alprazolam (Xanax)
  • Lorazepam
  • Clonazepam
  • Diazepam (Valium)

While benzodiazepines can be a useful medication in the treatment of anxiety, they can also be easily
abused, which can lead to the development of an addiction. Even when taken as prescribed,
dependence may be created if a person develops a tolerance to the drug. As tolerance is created, more
use of the drug is necessary in order to obtain the therapeutic benefits.

Some research indicates that after 4 months, the therapeutic benefit of Benzodiazepines may diminish
for some people. This can increase their risk of dependence. Benzodiazepine Dependence occurs when
an individual finds it difficult to halt the use of a Benzodiazepine based drug without psychological or
physiological withdrawal symptoms occurring.
