Benzodiazepine Addiction Treatment
Reclaim Your Life from Benzodiazepine Dependence
Benzodiazepines, commonly known as “benzos,” are prescription medications used to treat conditions such as anxiety, insomnia, and seizures. While effective for short-term relief, prolonged use or misuse can lead to dependence and addiction, impacting both physical health and overall well-being. At More Life Recovery, we offer specialized treatment programs designed to help individuals overcome benzodiazepine addiction and achieve lasting recovery.
Understanding Benzodiazepine Addiction
Benzodiazepines work by depressing the central nervous system, producing calming effects. Common medications in this class include Xanax (alprazolam), Klonopin (clonazepam), Ativan (lorazepam), and Valium (diazepam). Although beneficial when used as prescribed, misuse or long-term use can lead to tolerance, dependence, and addiction. This dependency can result in significant health risks and negatively affect personal relationships and daily functioning.​

Recognizing the signs of benzodiazepine addiction is crucial for early intervention. Common indicators include:
Increased Usage: Taking larger doses than prescribed or using the medication more frequently.​
