Xanax Detox Center
While prescription drugs have always carried the risk of abuse, overdose and dependence, they have traditionally been overshadowed by the seemingly bigger threat of illicit drugs like cocaine, methamphetamines and heroin.
While these drugs are still a problem, prescription drug abuse has grown to the point of being an epidemic, and emergency rooms are seeing more and more people coming in as a result of overdose, accidents, and other health issues due to prescription drug use.
About Xanax Addiction
Xanax is a benzodiazepine typically prescribed to treat the symptoms of anxiety and panic disorder. It can also be prescribed for insomnia and seizures, but its popularity as an anti-anxiolytic is what has led it to become one of the most widely-used prescription drugs ever.
Xanax is often prescribed on an as needed basis. Although it isnt intended for long-term use, it often becomes a long-term medication. Experts are aware that Xanax is habit-forming, but despite this fact, prescriptions continue to get filled. People who begin taking Xanax for anxiety will often not realize they have developed a dependence on the drug until they try to quit. Others may realize that they are needing to take more Xanax more often to get the same effect. At this point, they may begin purchasing Xanax from other sources.
Long-Term Effects Of Xanax Use And Abuse
Even when used as directed, Xanax can have short-term and long-term side effects. Although the drug is frequently prescribed to treat anxiety, prolonged use or abuse of the drug can actually worsen anxiety, and even cause users to become paranoid. Other mood disturbances such as depression, anger and irritability can result from Xanax use.
One of the more frightening results of recent research is the finding that prolonged Xanax use can result in permanent cognitive damage. This damage can result in short-term memory loss, difficulty solving problems, difficulty in decision-making and trouble with simple tasks like hygiene.
Xanax addiction can lead to overdose, particularly when mixed with other substances such as alcohol. This is a common occurrence, and medical professionals report that much of the time, overdose cases are a result of this combination.
Physical dependence is an issue with this medication. Over time, your body develops a dependence on Xanax. This means that if you stop taking it, you will experience withdrawal symptoms. These withdrawals symptoms cause physical and mental reactions that are quite uncomfortable. In fact, withdrawal from benzodiazepines like Xanax can be dangerous and in some cases, deadly.
You should never attempt to abruptly quit Xanax on your own, always enlist the help of a medical professional. A Stuart, Florida Xanax detox center can help.
How Do You Know If You Need A Xanax Detox Center?
One of the things that can make addiction so difficult to predict, diagnose and treat is the fact that each person is an individual, and so responds to substances differently. People have varying tolerances, and although anyone can become addicted, not everyone does. Some people quit using when they realize they are slipping into dependence or addictive use, while others need help. If you arent sure whether you have a problem or not, here are some questions to ask:
- Are you using more Xanax than prescribed? Are you running out and having to purchase or obtain more Xanax or other similar drugs without a prescription?
- Do you begin to experience withdrawal symptoms when you go too long without Xanax?
- Do you find that you become irritable, agitated or even hostile when you dont have Xanax?
- Are you hiding or covering up your use?
- Is using Xanax interfering with your normal daily life? Your job, family or friends?
- Are you mixing Xanax with alcohol or other drugs?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you can benefit from the help of a Florida Xanax detox center.
