Xanax Detox Center in Georgia

Learn More About Xanax Detox

Xanax is a prescription medication that is typically prescribed to treat symptoms that are consistent with anxiety disorders. The active ingredient in Xanax is alprazolam, which is a benzodiazepine.

When someone consumes Xanax, he or she will experience feelings of sedation and relaxation. When used as prescribed and under the care of a certified prescribing professional, Xanax can be a safe and effective medication. Sadly, the pleasing effects of Xanax also make this substance very popular in those who are attempting to self-medicate, as well as those who are looking to achieve a recreational high.

Regardless of why an individual starts to abuse Xanax, doing so places him or her at greater risk for suffering a number of negative consequences, including addiction. When an individual becomes addicted to Xanax, he or she will start to lose the ability to control how frequently he or she abuses this drug and how much of the drug he or she takes. It is at this point that it is imperative to seek detox services at an addiction treatment center, such as Blue Ridge Mountain Recovery in Georgia.

Xanax addiction, which is clinically referred to as benzodiazepine use disorder, is characterized by a strong desire to use the drug and the development of tolerance, which means that an individual will need to consume greater doses in order to achieve the desired effects. Those who become addicted to Xanax will often place their use of the drug above all else, including meeting their responsibilities on an academic, personal, and professional level, which can cause severe consequence in nearly all areas of their lives.

Sadly, ending a pattern of Xanax abuse can be very challenging once an individual has become dependent on it.

What Happens During Xanax Withdrawal

When an individual has developed a Xanax addiction, his or her body will get used to the presence of this substance and will respond in an upsetting manner when he or she entirely stops or decreases his or her abuse of the substance. This is known as withdrawal.

Regardless of whether the absence of Xanax is due to one’s efforts to stop use, or because the individual has been unable to obtain more of it to use, he or she can experience withdrawal symptoms that include the following:

• Heightened heart rate
• Nausea and vomiting
• Excessive perspiration
• Anxiety and agitation
• Paranoia
• Seizure
• Intense cravings for Xanax
• Tremors and twitches

When someone is trying to end his or her Xanax abuse without the help of professional detox services, the severity of these symptoms can quickly stand in the way of the effort. When attempts at quitting fail, the feelings of shame and failure that come from it can cause an individual to go right back to his or her pattern of Xanax abuse. In addition to aggravating the Xanax abuse itself, this failure can also prevent an individual’s next efforts to end the cycle of addiction. Thankfully, a much better option of medically assisted detox treatment is available.
