Rhode Island Benzodiazepine (Diazepam) Detox & Rehabs

The signs of chronic benzodiazepine abuse can be nonspecific, and can include things such as changes in a person’s appearance, relationship problems, lack of responsibility, and problems with work. There are some symptoms with the chronic abuse of benzodiazepines include anxiety, insomnia, anorexia, headaches, and weakness. Some of the commonly abused benzodiazepines include Valium, Ativan, Librium, Klonopin, and Xanax.

These brand-name drugs are prescribed for legitimate physical and mental health reasons such as anxiety, insomnia, muscle relaxation, and to assist with alcohol withdrawals. Benzodiazepines are highly addictive, and roughly over 40% of anyone taking these medications may develop a dependency. Typically, when prescribed medication like this, it is not meant for long-term everyday use, but rather for as-needed treatment of the symptoms. When Benzodiazepines are abused, the user will develop a tolerance for them, increasing his or her physical and psychological dependency. Within the state of Rhode Island are different inpatient and outpatient drug rehabilitation centers. Initially, an addict should start with a medical detox to manage the withdrawal pains safely.
