benzodiazepine detox
It is possible to become dependent on benzodiazepine even if the drug has only been used for a couple of months. People sometimes become dependent inadvertently. Even If the drug has been taken as prescribed by the GP’s instructions, there could still be some experience of significant withdrawal symptoms if the use of the drug is stopped abruptly.
One of the most worrying symptoms of long-term benzodiazepine use is depersonalization. It is common for a user to experience an episode of not feeling quite real, another description is that the users have described “my arms don't feel connected to my body," or "when I'm in a group of people I somehow feel outside of myself." All of these out of the ordinary descriptions suggest the user is experiencing depersonalization.
Sometimes withdrawal includes an increase in anxiety. Users may experience sensitivity to light and noise as well as involuntary muscle twitching, and trying to go “cold turkey” off of these drugs could cause severe symptoms, including seizures and convulsions. Therefore, a medically supervised gradual detoxification from benzodiazepine is essential.
Tailored Rehab refers individuals to detox centres where they will be closely monitored during the detox process. We assess every area of the user’s addiction and also personal requirements to help identify the correct centre for their recovery.
