Benzodiazepine Detox

Benzodiazepines (benzos), such as Valium, Ativan, Klonopin, and Xanax, are widely prescribed for a reason. These sedatives, also referred to as tranquilizers, offer swift relief from the symptoms of anxiety, panic disorder, or insomnia. People who struggle with these conditions are beyond ecstatic when they initially experience how quickly these medications take the edge off and lead to a relaxed state of being.

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.

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.
