Xanax Treatment

Typically prescribed to treat anxiety and panic disorders, Xanax is in a group of drugs called benzodiazepines. It is one of the most commonly abused prescription drugs. Much of the time, it isn’t the user’s fault. The central nervous system depressant can build up in the system, resulting in tolerance. This causes users to take more Xanax than prescribed to achieve the same result and can lead quickly to dependence and addiction. Many treatment options are available for Xanax addiction, which can manifest in both physical and psychological symptoms. Patients who try to stop taking Xanax abruptly after extended use will likely face withdrawal symptoms, which can be intense. There is also a progression of extreme emotional unreliability with sudden outbursts of panic and anxiety. Crying or near-panic levels of anxiety and fearfulness sometimes have a sudden onset without a clear connection to external events. Major side effects of Xanax withdrawal are hallucinosis, delirium and seizures. Others include blurred vision, disorientation, full delirium, delusions of bodily dysfunction or discorporation, muscle twitches, illusionary and hallucinatory phenomena, numbness, tingling and increased sensations. A gradual weaning may help but oftentimes, medical intervention may be necessary.

Factors Leading to Xanax Addiction

Xanax addiction can develop in those who are legally prescribed the drug but take more than they are supposed to once a tolerance develops. Others may use Xanax for non-medical purposes to experience feelings of euphoria or increased socialization. Oftentimes, it is the younger population that misuses many drugs in this class because they are easier to obtain than illegal street drugs. Detoxing from Xanax should include a gradual weaning from the drug.

Luxury Setting Provides Premiere Addiction Services

Xanax addiction is treated with compassion at Domus Retreat, located in the Anaheim Hills of Orange County, Ca. “Domus” means “home” in Latin, and that’s what we strive to provide our guests. Xanax addiction is targeted on all fronts in a private, luxurious setting where guests receive individual care and pampering. Our Domus Retreat staff firmly believes that addictions should be treated in the most responsible and humane manner. We assess each patient’s medical and psychological history and provide the appropriate treatment for that specific individual. We don’t use shame, harsh judgment, degradation or guilt to achieve results. We work on the underlying issues that may lead to dependence, such as undiagnosed depression. The physical and psychological aspects of addiction are addressed through top-notch medicine and therapeutic after care.

How Domus Retreat Stands Out

We don’t believe our guests are powerless over their own lives and we strive to build them up, encourage them at every step and inspire them to get healthy. Our detox program helps patients by managing and treating the withdrawal first. Recovery from Xanax addiction is possible, but due to its severe physical and mental withdrawal, it has to be done responsibly by medical and mental professionals. Domus Retreat offers a peaceful, serene environment for a reason. We don’t believe that unnecessary suffering is conducive to mental and emotional well-being, and the safety of our guests cannot be disregarded. We pride ourselves on providing a comfortable, non-judgmental and responsible treatment program.
