Medications We Use For Benzodiazepine Withdrawal
Clonidine is a medication used to treat high blood pressure, but it is also used to manage anxiety, agitation, and other symptoms of benzodiazepine withdrawal. Benzodiazepine agonists such as diazepam and lorazepam can help manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce the risk of seizures during the withdrawal process. The experts at Emmaus Medical & Counseling administer the intake of these medications with all patients so there are no adverse effects.

How Emmaus Restricts Benzodiazepine Dosage
Sometimes, we may switch the individual to a longer-acting benzodiazepine such as diazepam to aid in tapering. The tapering process is slow and steady to avoid withdrawal symptoms. The goal is to reduce the dosage by no more than 25% every two to four weeks. The individual will be monitored closely for withdrawal symptoms throughout the tapering process. If symptoms become severe or unmanageable, we will adjust the tapering schedule or prescribe medication to manage the symptoms.
Benzodiazepine Evaluation at Emmaus
We might order lab tests to check for any medical complications or to monitor the individualβs liver function and electrolyte levels. Our experts will also assess the individualβs use of benzodiazepines, including the frequency, dosage, and duration. The individual will be considered for withdrawal symptoms, including anxiety, irritability, insomnia, tremors, seizures, and hallucinations. Benzodiazepine misuse can cause a lot of problems. Hence, it needs to be addressed as quickly as possible. Any co-occurring disorders, such as depression or anxiety, that may contribute to their substance abuse will also be checked at Emmaus Medical & Counseling.
Benzodiazepine Addiction Monitoring at Emmaus
We may order lab tests to monitor the individualβs liver function, electrolyte levels, and other medical indicators that may be affected by benzodiazepine use. Our doctors will conduct a psychological evaluation to assess the individualβs mental health and monitor potential changes or improvements. We will watch the individual for any signs of withdrawal symptoms or complications that may arise during the tapering process. Adjust the treatment plan as necessary if there are any co-occurring illnesses, such as depression or anxiety, which may be contributing to their substance misuse.

Is it easy to get rid of an addiction?
Addictions are treatable, but they are not easy to quit. Substance use disorders have significant impacts on the brain, including judgment, reasoning, and impulse control. However, you can overcome the condition over time with an addiction treatment plan that speaks directly to your needs.
What is the main cause of addiction?
Over time, continued drug and alcohol use will reduce how much dopamine the body produces naturally. As a result, the body will crave more of the drug to aid in the chemicalβs production.
Environmental, social, and psychological factors contribute to the development of addiction. However, the brain and body are primarily responsible for the condition. Drugs cause dopamine to flood the body. Dopamine is a chemical the brain releases to signal the body that itβs doing something good that it should repeat.Β
What are the psychological causes of addiction?
Psychological reasons people develop substance use disorders are stress, trauma, abuse, and mental illness. Most people voluntarily participate in drug and alcohol use and develop addictions to cope with issues or feel good.
