Benzodiazepines Addiction Treatment

Benzodiazepines are sedative medications that work by slowing down the central nervous system to reduce anxiety and induce calmness. Common types of benzos include:

• Xanax (alprazolam)
• Klonopin (clonazepam)
• Ativan (lorazepam)
• Valium (diazepam)

While these medications are beneficial when used short-term under medical supervision, prolonged use or misuse can lead to tolerance, dependency, and addiction. The calming effects that make benzodiazepines effective can also cause individuals to misuse them, leading to serious risks and long-term effects.
