Benzodiazepines Addiction Treatment, Los Angeles
Benzodiazepines Addiction Treatment in Los Angeles
Benzodiazepine addiction is one of the most unfortunate forms of drug addiction. People take benzodiazepines to overcome anxiety, depression, and other mental and physical ailments.
However, although benzodiazepines, also known as benzos, do a lot of good for people, they can also do a lot of harm. While benzos are a prescription drug, they’re highly addictive and are one of the most commonly abused drugs in Los Angeles. They’re also difficult to stop taking because users think they need benzos to treat their condition.
In most cases, benzodiazepines get prescribed by a doctor to treat an underlying mental or physical ailment. Therefore, even when people are addicted, they fear that if they stop taking benzos, they will start to experience the same symptoms they did when they began taking benzos. Benzos get prescribed for:
- Chronic anxiety and insomnia
- Muscle and nerve pain
- Severe forms of depression
- Serious panic disorders
- Epilepsy and seizures

What are benzodiazepines?

How do people get addicted to benzos?
Benzos are the most addictive prescription drug in the US because of how they affect the brain and because people are reliant on them for mental or physical ailments. Over time, your body can become tolerant to benzos, which means you’ll need to take more and more. With enough time and use, you can eventually get addicted to benzodiazepines.
What are the most commonly misused benzodiazepine drugs?
While all benzos have addictive qualities, valium, xanax, ativan, and klonopin are some of the most abused. Clonazepam and alprazolam are also commonly misused.
Does Oasis Detox use medication-assisted withdrawal?
Because of how painful and dangerous withdrawal can be, Oasis Detox uses medication-assisted withdrawal. Medication-assisted withdrawal, while using drugs and medications, is one of the safest and most effective ways to stop using benzos.
Can you overdose on benzodiazepines?
The risk of overdose is the biggest risk of getting addicted to benzodiazepines. Benzos slow down your heart rate and cognitive function and can lead to heart failure, ataxia, coma, and death.
