Benzodiazepine Addiction Treatment
It is often said that the only way out of a drug dependency is to seek help. Benzodiazepine abuse is a growing problem affecting millions worldwide. The consequences can be extremely detrimental to an individual’s health and other aspects of one’s overall wellness. However, help is available through treatment centres and rehab programmes to those who need to break free from this type of drug addiction.
SUBSTANCE USE
What Are Benzodiazepines?
Benzodiazepines, or “benzos” as they are more commonly known, are a group of drugs that act on the central nervous system and work by increasing the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, which results in sedation and calming effects.
The most common types of benzodiazepines include Valium (diazepam) and Xanax (alprazolam), which are used to treat anxiety disorders, insomnia, seizures, and other conditions such as alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
DEPENDENCY
Signs And Symptoms Of Benzodiazepine Addiction
Although these drugs can be beneficial when taken correctly under medical supervision, misuse or abuse of them can lead to dependency and serious health consequences.
Some physical signs include impaired motor coordination, slurred speech, lethargy, and muscle spasms. However, some of the effects can be psychological and affect your mood, creating experiences or episodes of depression and memory loss.
TREATMENT OPTIONS
Withdrawal from Benzodiazepine
When an individual is addicted to benzodiazepines, they may experience withdrawal symptoms if use is reduced or abruptly stopped.
Signs of Benzodiazepine Withdrawal
Benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms include restlessness, agitation, insomnia, nausea, abdominal cramps, sweating, and difficulty concentrating. For those who have been using high doses of benzos for a long period or in combination with other substances, there can be more serious side effects, such as confusion, hallucinations, and seizures that require medical supervision while going through withdrawal.

PROGRAMMES & TREATMENTS
Benzodiazepine Addiction Treatment Options
The treatment options are dependent on various factors, including the dosage and the severity of the addiction. However, it’s common to perform a detox from benzodiazepines alongside some therapy sessions to maximise the chances of beating the addiction for good.
Detox
Detoxification, commonly referred to as detox, involves eliminating harmful substances from the body to enable it to function properly. Most substances need a detox process, including prescription drugs, which is typically associated with withdrawal symptoms from the substance.
Individual Sessions
At Kembali, we provide psychological counselling through two distinct methods to enhance your well-being: individual therapy and group therapy, both offering remarkable advantages.
Group Therapy Sessions
Alternatively, group therapy may appeal more to those who prefer discussing their delicate concerns in a group environment. In these sessions, you will be amongst a small group of individuals facing similar obstacles, fostering a sense of empathy and support.
Aftercare
Our rehab facility provides addiction and mental health support designed to help people adopt healthy coping mechanisms to maintain long-term recovery and prevent relapse. Some essential aftercare aspects are psychological therapy, support groups, and stress management.
