Commonly Abused Benzodiazepines
Benzodiazepines like Valium, Ativan, Klonopin, and Xanax are commonly prescribed for anxiety, panic disorders, and insomnia. These tranquilizers provide fast relief, which makes them highly effective for those struggling with these conditions. However, the downside is their addictive nature. As you build a tolerance, you may need higher doses to achieve the same calming effect, escalating the risk of dependency.
As with other prescription drugs, there is another side to the benzo story. While this class of drugs may reward the person with fast-acting relief from the uncomfortable symptoms, this may come at a price. Benzodiazepines are highly addictive, with tolerance to the drug’s effects escalating quickly. Soon you realize it requires more frequent dosing or higher dosages to experience that calming sensation.
Outpatient Detox Option
Taking the first step toward detox is a significant decision, and we’re here to help. Our outpatient detox services offer a safe and supportive environment for benzodiazepine withdrawal in the comfort of your home. Additionally, we provide customized options such as IV NAD+ Drip, Acupuncture, and Massage to enhance your detox experience. You can explore the additional services that we can coordinate during your outpatient home detox from benzodiazepines.
Effects of Benzodiazepine Addiction
As tolerance increases, the brain adapts to the drug’s presence, altering its natural chemical production. This change in brain chemistry contributes to withdrawal symptoms once a dependency develops. When benzodiazepines are suddenly withdrawn, the brain struggles to adjust, resulting in both physical and psychological symptoms. Some effects of long-term benzo abuse may include:
Some of the effects of long-term benzo abuse can include:
- Cognitive and memory problems
- Immunological disorders
- Mental health disorders
Benzo Withdrawal Symptoms
While the benzodiazepine detox process is challenging, having a team of professionals guiding you through it can significantly reduce the discomfort associated with withdrawal. Detox typically lasts 1-2 weeks, depending on factors like addiction duration, daily dosage, and overall health. Common withdrawal symptoms include:
Benzo withdrawal symptoms may include the following:
- Nausea or vomiting
- Agitation
- Diarrhea
- Anxiety and Panic attacks
- Tremors
- Confusion and impaired cognitive function
- Sleep disturbance
- Irritability
- Sweating
- Short-term memory problems
- Heart palpitations
- Anxiety
- Seizures
Our detox team will ensure medications are provided to ease withdrawal symptoms.
Benzo Withdrawal Timeline
Although the timeline for benzodiazepine detox varies, symptoms usually begin within 24 hours and may last from a few days to several months. It’s crucial not to quit abruptly. Instead, a trained nurse will reduce your dosage incrementally over 1-2 weeks, helping your body adjust safely.
It is important to note that it is dangerous to stop taking Benzodiazepines abruptly once you have developed an addiction. Because of this, during your detox process, a trained nurse will administer the drug to you in incrementally lower doses over the course of a 1-2 week period until your body is able to function without the drug.
Is Benzo Detox at Home a Safe Option?
Once you begin to recognize that you’ve developed a problem with benzodiazepines, you may be tempted to try to detox on your own. Hoping to avoid exposing your substance abuse problem to others, you might one day decide to just stop taking the Xanax or Valium. Going “cold turkey” can result in a multitude of problems, as benzo withdrawal symptoms can be unpredictable and dangerous. However, you can still achieve the goal of a discreet at home detox experience—safely—through the services of a private detox nurse.
Private detox nurses are trained medical professionals who can quickly respond with appropriate interventions as needed. Under the supervision of a physician, the detox nurse will ease you through the detox and withdrawal process. The home detox is a safe and more private alternative to going to a detox center. As well, the detox nurse is fully trained to provide medical assistance for benzo withdrawal symptoms, from mild to more severe.
Benefits of At-Home Benzodiazepine Detox
There are ample benefits for selecting a home detox versus going through the uncomfortable process in a sterile detox facility. Some of these benefits include:
Maintain Privacy
One way of protecting privacy during the detox process is to obtain these supportive medical services in the comfort of one’s home. Helping someone complete the detox at home can begin the recovery process while ensuring that these services are fully discreet.
Lower Stress
Going through the detox process among your familiar surroundings is much less stressful when compared to a detox facility. Being at home also means having access to supportive family members.
Top-Notch Care
Having one-on-one medical oversight provides the utmost level of care, and gives the individual the confidence that they will be carefully supervised throughout the detox and withdrawal process.
Support for Family
A home detox nurse and his or her team can also support family members during their loved one’s detox phase, and prepare them for the next step of rehabilitation and what it will entail.
