Benzodiazepine and Ambien Detox

You don’t have to go through unnecessary and dangerous suffering when it comes to detoxing from benzodiazepines including Xanax, Klonopin, Lorazepam, Valium and Ambien.

In fact, the addiction can be physical and psychological in nature, requiring a medical intervention to ensure a safe outcome. Just because prescription drugs are legal when obtained from a medical doctor doesn’t mean they can’t harm you or cause dependence and addiction.

Benzodiazepines are typically used to produce sedation, relieve anxiety, induce sleep  and relieve muscle spasms. In the U.S., “benzos” as they’re sometimes called, are among the most prescribed medications. So it’s no wonder that so many people are seeking treatment for benzodiazepine detox.

Medical Detox Increases Odds of Recovery

Benzodiazepines are thought to be among the hardest and lengthier prescription medications to detox from, but this should not keep people from seeking qualified medical help.

A safe and supportive medical detox for the addiction is absolutely necessary and increases the odds of recovery. The Waismann Method helps minimize and manage withdrawal symptoms while treating the physical dependence to benzodiazepines. Treatments are customized based on the individual’s needs, along with his or her medical, drug use and addiction histories. Drug addiction/dependency is a complex disorder, but fortunately one that is treatable.

Withdrawing from Benzodiazepines

A prolonged period of use can trigger a powerful withdrawal syndrome to develop in those who try to stop taking the drugs. Symptoms of benzodiazepine withdrawal can include:

• Anxiety
• Insomnia
• Seizures
• Agitation
• Muscle spasms
• Cramps
• Blurred vision
• Dizziness
• Dry mouth
• Numbness
• Impaired memory and concentration
• Chest pain
• Sleep problems
• Fatigue
• Weakness
• Nightmares
• Hallucinations.

Fear and anxiety surrounding these symptoms may make it harder for people to ask for help. The good news is, the symptoms can be managed, enabling patients to move forward and reclaim the life they want.

Recovering From Benzodiazepine Addiction

Patients in the Waismann program are supervised closely in a hospital setting to maximize success and safety. They are given medications intravenously using a highly advanced medical approach to benzodiazepine detox. Our doctors are board certified in anesthesiology and pain management.

For over ten years, the doctors have been successfully managing drug detoxification in a medical way. Within a few days of arriving at our facility, patients will find they are safely and comfortably benzodiazepine-free and ready to continue the recovery process.

It could be very dangerous for users to attempt to detox on their own. Serious medical issues could arise that require medical attention such as:

• High blood pressure
• Seizures
• Hallucinations
• Convulsions.

Detox and rehabilitation are not easy, but finding the right place can make all the difference.
