Benzodiazepine addiction is a very dangerous addiction with a withdrawal similar to alcohol detox and a potential to be life-threatening when stopping its use abruptly. The Benzodiazepines most likely abused are Xanax, Klonopin, or Valium. Most overdoses of Benzodiazepines occur when the drugs are mixed with other substances such as pain killers and or Alcohol. It is important to understand that Benzodiazepine addiction can not be treated by the addict themselves. In other words, it is absolutely necessary that the addict checks themselves into a medically supervised detox and then follow up with a long term inpatient benzodiazepine addiction treatment center. It takes a good two weeks to fully detox from drugs such as Xanax, Valium, or Klonopin. The detox from these drugs is the reverse of the high. Most people withdrawing from these are not only in serious medical danger but are also very uncomfortable. They are extremely stressed and agitated and they feel like they are walking on pins and needles.

Another important element to understand when addicted to Benzodiazepines is that an inpatient addiction treatment centers must be chosen in addition to the long medically supervised detox. It is also important to make sure that the drug treatment center that you choose detoxes the client properly and then gives them at least 60 – 90 days to stabilize and become themselves again. Many addiction treatment centers today make the mistake of diagnosing the addicted person to early in the treatment plan and end up prescribing them more medications for disorders they do not even have.
