South Carolina Benzodiazepine (Diazepam) Detox & Rehabs

A physical and psychological dependency for benzodiazepines can happen within the first few months of use if the drugs are used regularly. Typically, drugs such as Xanax, Valium, Ativan, and Librium are only prescribed for as-needed treatment. However, many users begin to take these drugs more than what it was prescribed for. If this happens, the user is increasing the risk of dependency with an increased tolerance to the drug.

Benzodiazepine addiction can cause an overdose, if the drugs are taken with alcohol or with an illicit substance. Benzodiazepine overdose deaths occur every year within the United States, but can be prevented with the right type of help. The different drug rehabilitation programs within the state can help anyone addicted to benzodiazepines or any other type of drug. Because withdrawal symptoms can be quite severe, it is recommended that an addict or anyone dependent upon these drugs attends a medical detox program. The medical detox process will safely address the withdrawal pains and symptoms allowing the patient to smoothly transition into a drug rehabilitation center.
