Benzodiazepine is a type of tranquilizer that is most commonly prescribed for depression and anxiety. In fact in 2007 doctors in the U.S. wrote more than 82 million prescriptions for these types of drugs which include Xanax, Klonipin and Valium among others. But most people are unaware of the severe withdrawal symptoms for benzodiazepine use and their dangerous side effects. The most recent statistics indicate that there are over 10 million people addicted to prescription drugs in the United States, many of whom are addicted to benzos.
There are many ways that individuals are getting hooked on these drugs; some who unknowingly become addicted, and others that “doctor shop” (going from doctor to doctor with fake or exaggerated ailments until they are prescribed their desired drug) in order to obtain them. It is evident that prolonged benzo withdrawal prevents people from coming off the drug which can make it difficult to stop using without treatment.
Narconon Louisiana understands that one of the biggest reasons for prolonged benzo withdrawal is the fact that the residues from these drugs adhere to the fatty tissues in the body. When this occurs, the person experiences symptoms like insomnia, pain, depression, numbness, racing thoughts, and irritability that can last for weeks, months and years after use. An effective way to combat those withdrawal symptoms is through the unique sauna detoxification process used by Narconon Louisiana.
The sauna program allows the body to sweat out the dangerous toxins that cause users to experience the withdrawal effects from benzo long after they have used the drugs. The result is that the person can finally break free from the negative physical effects of drugs. In addition the program also handles the mental and emotional components of substance abuse through life skills taught to the individual to raise their abilities. Narconon Louisiana’s intensive rehabilitation is the answer to benzo use. They have found a way to show addicts how to take back control of their lives.
