Residential Benzo Addiction Treatment Center in Napa Valley, California

Learn more about benzodiazepine addiction treatment at Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab in Northern California

Benzodiazepines are a family of depressive medications that are most commonly used to treat anxiety disorders. There are many medications in this family; some of the most common include Xanax, Ativan, Valium, and Klonopin. Benzodiazepines, also called benzos, are depressant-type medications. This does not mean that these medications cause depression. Rather, they depress, or reduce the activity of, the central nervous system, which includes the brain. The end result is that these medications cause feelings of relaxation, which are helpful for individuals who are struggling with anxiety disorders but can be intensified and powerfully addictive if misused.

Benzodiazepine use disorder is a serious and life-threatening condition, but at Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab, we have decades of experience helping individuals overcome addictions to these powerful drugs at our premier benzo addiction treatment center. With the help of our caring, experienced staff in our compassionate treatment programs, individuals who are struggling with an addiction to benzos can find the help they need to live the recovered lives they deserve.

Helping a loved one get treatment for benzo addiction

When a loved one is struggling with benzo abuse, it is easy to feel helpless and believe that there is little you can do to be of assistance. However, there are actually a number of ways you can help, such as those listed below:

• Research benzos and learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of intoxication and overdose. Also, develop a plan for what to do and how to help your loved one in these situations.
• Learn about treatments that have been successful for other individuals who have struggled with benzo abuse, and find a few addiction rehab centers that provide those treatments and might be a good fit for your loved one. Make a short list of these centers to present to your loved one once he or she decides to enter treatment.
• Talk with your loved one. Share your feelings and concerns openly, but do so gently and without judgment. Invite your loved one to respond, and genuinely listen to what he or she has to say. Although these conversations may become emotionally charged, it is important that they do not turn into arguments.
• Enlist the support of close family and friends. You are likely not the only person concerned about your loved one, so bring other trusted people into your inner circle.
• When your loved one is ready to enter treatment, help him or her with any logistical issues that might arise. Common logistical issues include completing insurance paperwork, setting up appointments with treatment center staff members, and arranging transportation.
• During your loved one’s stay in treatment, remain an active and visible source of support. Also, participate in any family sessions that your loved one’s treatment center might offer.
• Take care of yourself. It will be much more difficult to help your loved one if you are physically, psychologically, and emotionally drained.

Why consider treatment for benzo addiction at Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab in Northern California

Although safe to use when taken as prescribed, benzos can be as harmful as any illicit drug if they are abused. Individuals who abuse benzos are at risk for serious negative outcomes in virtually every area of their lives. Many people struggle to maintain work performance while abusing benzos, and so they may risk being fired and struggling with long-term unemployment and financial ruin. Abuse of these drugs also often causes strain in relationships and may result in separation, divorce, loss of child custody, lost friendships, and social isolation.  In addition, these drugs can severely harm individuals physiologically, causing organ damage, cognitive impairment, and placing them at a continual risk of overdose. Finally, individuals who are unable to overcome their dependence on these drugs, and especially individuals who are struggling with other co-occurring mental illnesses, may resort to self-harm or suicide. Fortunately, with proper care, benzodiazepine abuse does not have to take over an individual’s life. At Duffy’s benzo addiction rehab center, effective treatments are available that can help individuals conquer benzodiazepine use disorder once and for all.
