Benzodiazepine Addiction Treatment
Break Free from Dependence with Personalized, Outpatient Care
Benzodiazepines—commonly known as “benzos”—are often prescribed to treat anxiety, insomnia, or seizures. While effective for short-term relief, long-term use or misuse can quickly lead to dependence and addiction. At Heartland Recovery Center, we provide structured outpatient treatment for benzodiazepine addiction, helping clients safely taper use, heal emotionally, and regain control of their lives.
How These Medications Help—and When They Become Harmful
Understanding Benzodiazepines
Benzodiazepines work by depressing the central nervous system to produce calming effects. They are frequently prescribed for anxiety-related conditions but carry a high risk for dependency when used over time or without supervision.
Commonly prescribed benzodiazepines include:
Xanax (alprazolam): Treats panic and anxiety disorders
Klonopin (clonazepam): Used for seizures and panic attacks
Ativan (lorazepam): Prescribed for acute anxiety or agitation
Valium (diazepam): Used for anxiety, muscle spasms, or seizures
When tolerance develops, individuals may increase doses or seek benzos through multiple sources—putting themselves at risk for overdose, memory issues, or life-disrupting withdrawal symptoms.
Signs and Symptoms of Benzodiazepine Addiction
Benzo addiction may start subtly but can escalate quickly. Warning signs include:
Taking higher doses or using without a prescription
Experiencing withdrawal symptoms such as trembling, anxiety, or sweating
Difficulty concentrating, memory problems, or confusion
Seeking multiple prescriptions (“doctor shopping”)
Continued use despite health, relationship, or legal issues
If you recognize these signs in yourself or a loved one, Heartland Recovery Center offers expert outpatient support to help you safely move toward recovery.
