Inpatient Drug Rehabs 


Treatment for benzodiazepines through an inpatient drug rehab center can be a great option if you can take the time off of work to enter into a treatment program. Overcoming Benzo addiction usually starts with detox and then counseling with a possible medication replacement and adjustments for those with underlying mental health concerns. Becoming addicted to this medication doesn’t discriminate between someone who is prescribed this medication or who has come to use it through illegal means. With prolonged use of benzos, there is always a risk of developing tolerance. This has been proven to elevate the need for more of the medication to produce the same desired effect.  Once an individual finds themselves in need of more medications to achieve the desired effect and starts increasing their dosage, the chances of a dangerous life-threatening dependency go up exponentially. 

Medical Detox Centers 


Inpatient medical detox centers in Washington DC that specialize in the withdrawal from benzos will offer the best option for detox in a medically supervised setting. Addiction and dependency can happen even if you are prescribed these medications by your doctor or have procured them illegally. If you are currently taking benzodiazepine and want to stop, make sure that you consult your doctor to avoid a trip to the emergency room.  Call us now and we can help you locate a center for benzo detox in your town or anywhere in the country today. Benzo withdrawal can be very difficult and sometimes even life-threatening if not done at a medical detox center.  Be prepared for at least 10 days and up to 21 days “for serious cases” at an inpatient medical detox unit. Some drug rehab centers offer in-house detoxification from benzodiazepines in conjunction with a treatment program once the patient is stable enough to enter into the counseling phase of treatment.

Overdose 

With more people prescribed benzodiazepines in Washington DC, there has been a significant rise in the overdose rate involving both benzos and opioids. When a person has a prescription for benzos and consumes either alcohol or an opioid, the risks of a fatal overdose are increased. The main risk of mixing both alcohol and benzos is that you could fall asleep and never wake up due to both drugs being sedatives. Benzodiazepine addiction has become commonplace in American society with more than 27% of adults over the age of 18 prescribed this medication every year. That is 27 people out of every 100 people who see a doctor for the year went to either fill a prescription for benzos or get a new prescription in 1 year. This is a staggering number that has been affecting the senior population more than any other population group in the country.
