The alarming statistics highlighted in the study “Benzodiazepine Use and Misuse Among Adults in the United States” by Donovan T. Maust, Lewei A. Lin, and Frederic C. Blow underscore the urgent need for specialized treatment facilities like Rubicon Recovery Center. With over 30.6 million adults reporting benzodiazepine use in the past year and 5.3 million of those engaging in misuse, the research points to a widespread public health issue. Particularly concerning is the highest rate of misuse among adults aged 18-25, revealing a critical demographic in need of targeted intervention and support for addiction recovery.
Rubicon Recovery Center is poised to meet this need, offering comprehensive care for individuals struggling with Xanax addiction and other benzodiazepine misuse. Our treatment programs are specifically designed to tackle the unique challenges of benzodiazepine dependency, providing a blend of medical detoxification, psychological support, and behavioral interventions. By focusing on personalized recovery plans and evidence-based treatments, Rubicon Recovery Center aims to empower individuals to overcome addiction and foster long-term wellness, addressing the significant gap in care highlighted by recent research findings.
What Is Xanax Addiction?
Xanax addiction is when someone develops physical and psychological dependence on Xanax, a prescription medication also known as alprazolam. Like other benzodiazepine drugs, Xanax is commonly prescribed for anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and sometimes for insomnia. It works by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called GABA in the brain, which results in a calming or sedative effect.
Xanax is an addictive substance, though an addiction is more likely to develop after prolonged use. An addiction can develop even when the medication is prescribed by a doctor and taken as directed. However, the risk of addiction increases significantly with misuse, such as taking higher doses than prescribed, using the medication without a prescription, or using it in a way not intended, such as crushing and snorting the pills.
Individuals addicted to Xanax find it difficult to function normally without the drug and may prioritize its use over other aspects of their lives. They may continue using Xanax despite experiencing negative consequences to their health, relationships, and daily functioning. Some general signs of addiction include drug cravings, withdrawal symptoms upon cessation, and an inability to control or reduce use.
Overcoming Xanax addiction often requires professional treatment, including detoxification, therapy, and support groups, to address both the physical dependence and the psychological aspects of the addiction.
It’s helpful to understand more about how to treat a Xanax addiction and what challenges may come up on the road to recovery so that you can get yourself or a loved one the help they need to heal.
Who Needs Rehab For Xanax Addiction?
The outpatient addiction rehab at Rubicon Recovery Center is designed for any individual who finds themselves unable to stop using Xanax despite experiencing negative consequences such as significant harm to their health, relationships, and day to day well being. We welcome people from all backgrounds who are struggling with Xanax addiction, no matter their prior history of drug use, overdose, or previous attempts at recovery.
A Xanax addiction can look different for different people, but you may need to attend a rehab program if you are experiencing any of the following behaviors:
- Withdrawal Symptoms: The presence of withdrawal symptoms signifies that an individual has developed a physical dependence on a drug, which is a key component of addiction. Some Xanax withdrawal symptoms include tremors, dizziness, seizures, and headaches.
- Change in Social Circles: A subtle yet telling sign of drug addiction is a significant change in an individual’s social circles. Someone might withdraw from long-standing relationships and instead spend time with new friends who share and enable their drug use habits. Losing interest in social activities or hobbies that don’t involve drug use is also related to this sign.
- Neglecting Responsibilities: A hallmark sign of addiction is when an individual starts to neglect responsibilities at home, work, or school. Financial problems may also arise, often due to spending money on drugs rather than on bills, food, or other essentials.
- Decline in Wellbeing: Xanax addiction can lead to noticeable declines in physical health and appearance. Some telltale signs may include sudden weight loss or gain, poor skin condition, and neglect of personal hygiene. Sleep patterns may also be disrupted, leading to insomnia or excessive sleeping.
