Orange County Prescription Drug Detox

Though prescriptions drugs are intended to treat certain medical conditions, they can easily be misused. A person can misuse their own prescription or become addicted to prescription medications they get from others. Addictive medications include painkillers, stimulants and depressants.

Pacific Shores Recovery helps people detoxing from prescription drugs. One of the most commonly misused medications we help clients quit are benzodiazepines. Withdrawal from benzodiazepines can be difficult without help from trained professionals, and our experienced staff makes the process as comfortable as possible.

Benzodiazepines and the Importance of Detox

Benzodiazepines act on the central nervous system. They are commonly known for their tranquilizing or suppressant effects and are often prescribed for anxiety, panic attacks, seizures and insomnia. Examples of benzodiazepines include:

Xanax (alprazolam),
Klonopin,
Valium,
Restoril,
Seresta,
Librium,
Nordaz,
Ativan (lorazepam), and
Halcion (triazolam).

Benzodiazepine withdrawal causes symptoms unlike any other substance. If you try to quit these medications without a specialized detox program, you can experience severe withdrawal symptoms. Symptoms can include anxiety, insomnia, nausea, shakes, hallucinations and seizures. With the proper detox plan, these symptoms can be managed to make the process as comfortable as possible.
