What is Benzodiazepine Detox?
A benzodiazepine detox is a process by which the drug itself is removed from the body. Once the body is cleansed of any toxins, it can begin to heal and recover effectively. Through this process, a person is able to go through the benzodiazepine withdrawal safely while being medically supervised by experienced professionals. Once the body has been rid of the drug, further treatment can begin.
By undergoing the detoxification process with Pacific Sands Recovery, we ensure that all of your needs are met in a safe and tranquil environment that is conducive to healing. With a staff-to-client ratio of 2:1, we have ensured that each client will receive the care, attention, and commitment that they deserve in order to put them in the best position possible for safe and long-lasting recovery.
Symptoms of Benzodiazepine Withdrawal
Knowing how to recognize the symptoms of benzodiazepine withdrawal can help you to identify signs of addiction in either yourself or a loved one. By recognizing these signs, you can better determine the level of care needed, and make the decision to help yourself or your loved ones get the assistance they deserve. Benzo withdrawal begins between 10 hours and several days after the last use, depending upon both the type of benzo being taken, as well as an individual’s tolerance and volume of use.
While the symptoms of withdrawal may vary from person to person depending upon a host of individual factors, there are many common withdrawal symptoms that the majority of people will experience when coming off of benzodiazepine use. Symptoms may include:
- Anxiety
- Headaches
- Sweating
- Muscle pain
- Blurred vision
- Brain fog or confusion
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Seizures
