Were you prescribed benzos for insomnia, anxiety, or seizures? Has your short-term use become long-term abuse? Are you unsure about what to do next?  

In 2019, over 92 million benzodiazepine prescriptions were dispensed in the United States. Studies from a decade prior indicate an increase in benzo overdose in combination with other drugs and alcohol use. But, not until September 2020 did the FDA require benzodiazepines to include an addiction warning on the label. 

If you are struggling with benzodiazepine abuse and you are ready to go to benzo detox in Orange County, contact Indah Recovery today. Our comprehensive luxury benzo detox and treatment center provides state-of-the-art medical care and treatment. 

What Are Benzos?

Benzos are the street name for Benzodiazepines. Also known by brand names like Valium, Xanax, Halcion, Ativan, and Klonopin, benzos are addictive depressants. Benzodiazepines produce sedation, hypnosis, relieve anxiety and muscle spasms, and reduce seizures. 

They are a Schedule IV prescription drug that can be administered in tablets or syrup. Benzos can be taken by mouth, crushed and snorted, or injected. 

In the last 20 years, trends show an increase in prescribing benzos and opioids has developed. Studies have shown that this combination creates a ten times higher likelihood of overdose death. Taking into consideration the prevalence of benzodiazepines in overdose related deaths has caused doctors and prescribing physicians to monitor the prescription more closely.

Benzos should only be taken as advised by a doctor and doctors should be made aware of any and all medications individuals are currently taking to decrease accidental overdose.

Why Are Benzos Addictive?

Benzos are addictive because of the impact they have on the brain and the powerful high they can create. 

Benzos block the inhibitors for dopamine in the brain allowing the dopamine-producing neurons in the brain to run unchecked. This excessive release of dopamine creates a feel-good high triggering the reward centers in the brain. 

In simpler terms, you take a benzo, it creates an intense high making you feel relaxed and calm, and your body wants that again. This cycle of your body wanting more or craving the benzos creates addiction. 

What Are the Signs of Benzo Addiction?

Benzo abuse is characterized by the specific impact it has on the mind and body. Benzo abuse can cause amnesia, hostility, irritability, vivid or disturbing dreams, sleepiness, and/or relaxed mood. Signs of a benzo overdose include extreme drowsiness, impaired coordination, decreased reflexes, decreased respiration, coma, and death.

If you are wondering if inpatient rehab is for you, then you should consider the following questions:

Am I unable to stop using drugs and alcohol?

Do I feel like my life has become completely unmanageable?

Is my health deteriorating from drug and alcohol use?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, then the answer is – Yes, inpatient rehab might be for you. 

Indah Recovery is one such inpatient rehab that provides the sober community, structure, and treatment based on your specific needs. This inpatient rehab provides high-quality care in a luxury setting. 

What Is Inpatient Rehab?

Inpatient rehab is intensive residential treatment. While living at a treatment facility for 30-90 days, individuals will go through detoxification and a treatment program that is designed to alter the negative behaviors, like drinking or using drugs, and influence positive coping and self-management skills. This occurs through individual, group, and even sometimes family therapy sessions to ensure thorough rehabilitation is provided. 

Inpatient rehab provides clients with an opportunity to be removed from the environment in which they experienced substance abuse and allows them to recover with fewer temptations and develop a more structured approach to sober living. Through their time in inpatient rehab, clients are able to focus on mentally healing from the trauma that occurs with substance abuse and develop and practice social skills in a sober setting.

“Treatment is highly structured and can be confrontational at times, with activities designed to help residents examine damaging beliefs, self-concepts, and destructive patterns of behavior and adopt new, more harmonious and constructive ways to interact with others.”

Who Should Go to Residential Inpatient Rehab?

Residential inpatient rehab can support a variety of clients. Those who struggle with traditional 12-step programs, have difficulty removing themselves from temptations, and those who struggle with maintaining a consistent schedule may benefit from residential inpatient rehab. 

Inpatient treatment programs offer the traditional cognitive behavioral therapy that is the standard when it comes to addiction treatment, but they are also able to offer additional alternative and unique therapies that support more than just the client’s mental health. Inpatient rehabs focus on holistic healing through their treatment programs by combining things like yoga, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. 

Inpatient rehab also removes individuals from the temptations available in their home environment. With outpatient rehabilitation, individuals maintain their residence and pour all their focus into abstaining in situations where they are faced with substances at every turn. In a residential inpatient rehab, clients are able to focus on their mental, physical, and spiritual health in an environment that is substance free.

Additionally, residential inpatient rehab may be the way to go for individuals who struggle to maintain a schedule and may have difficulty consistently attending outpatient rehab. The primary reason for this is because consistency and support are key in rehabilitation. By remaining consistent and accessing support in residential inpatient rehab, clients are able to develop positive habits they can translate back to their home life.

Do you think that your loved one is using an illegal substance? Has their drinking started to impact their day-to-day life? Are you considering an intervention?

Loving someone who is struggling with addiction or who has a diagnosed substance use disorder, is challenging. Drug intervention is one way to let your loved one know the impact that drugs are having on their life and yours. 

If you have already attempted an intervention on behalf of your loved one and are looking for the best facility to meet their substance abuse needs, check out Indah Recovery. 

What Is a Drug Intervention?

An intervention is defined as “… a combination of program elements or strategies designed to produce behavior changes or improve health status among individuals or an entire population.” 

A drug intervention is when you make an individual who is abusing substances aware of the impact it’s having on them and you and offer educational materials and treatment options. 

What Does the Drug Intervention Process Look Like?

Now, unlike TV, drug and alcohol interventions don’t require a giant family sit down. Interventions can be as simple as a doctor offering a pamphlet at a check-up or a therapist recommending more specialized treatment. 

In the Surgeon General’s report, a screening and early intervention for alcohol is effective in a healthcare setting.  The full report indicates that individuals with a less-severe form of substance use disorder are much more amenable to the intervention, while individuals with mild alcoholism and drug use were less responsive to the intervention.

Mild substance use disorders are readily identified and “often respond to brief motivational interventions and/or supportive monitoring.” However, unlike less-severe forms of substance abuse, chronic users with severe substance abuse are unlikely to respond to base-level intervention.

One study found that individuals who spoke with their doctor for 3-4 minutes and participated in two 20-minute follow up calls showed a reduction in the number of days they used drugs.  

After the initial or early intervention process, should it not be successful, individuals may take part in a brief intervention. This process is more of a structured intervention from a therapist or counselor about risky behavior and decision making. Should necessary changes not be made, at this time a referral for treatment may be recommended.

How to Help My Loved One Go to Rehab

Should the early intervention and brief intervention not be successful, at that time a clinician may make a referral to seek specialized care. “The care provider makes a referral for a clinical assessment followed by a clinical treatment plan developed with the individual that is tailored to meet the person’s needs.” By including the individual in the process, it sometimes increases the likelihood that they will follow through with the referral for addiction treatment.

Remember that you cannot force your loved one to get clean. This is a challenging mental illness and it requires patience, understanding, and a willingness to change on their part. If you feel that they are ready for rehabilitation, we recommend Indah Recovery.
