This was my first time ever coming to rehab and I can honestly say that this is the best experience and journey I’ve had in finding my self and getting sober. The staff at Live Oak actually pay attention to you and show you that they are here for you and your journey is sobriety and they have all the tools to help you if you truly want the help. As I was one that truly wanted the help and I can say I couldn’t have chosen a better place to start my journey in sobriety.

Live Oak and the phenomenal staff made my at first- scary journey into recovery into a life-changing experience. I am from Minnesota and took a flight within 2 hours of calling and instantly felt safe when I arrived. I learned healthy tools for recovery and coping skills I never thought of and the staff (especially Amanda!!!) were genuine and kind to everyone. This will be the best decision of your life.

My experience at Live Oak surpassed all of my expectations. The staff are caring and very knowledgeable. The classes provided me with a wealth of knowledge, that pertained to a wide range of substances and addictions. I left feeling confident and educated to maintain my sobriety. If anyone that is reading this needs help, give them a call NOW. You will not be disappointed. God bless you all.

Place saved my son’s life. Individualized care. He said everyone genuinely cared about him for the first time and he has unfortunately been to other treatment centers. He’s been sober 6 months now.

Amazing staff, makes you feel at home. Best working environment i’ve ever experienced all thanks to everyone involved. Beautiful facility, it’s smaller which is better because you get more one on one care. Love it 10/10

What Are Benzodiazepines?

Benzodiazepines are a type of prescription medication commonly prescribed to treat anxiety disorders, insomnia, seizures, and certain other medical conditions. They work by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, which helps to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. While benzodiazepines can be effective for short-term use under proper medical supervision, there is a potential risk for addiction and dependence if they are used improperly or for an extended period. Benzodiazepines have a high risk of abuse with greater chances of overdose and death when combined with other depressants. A treatment program can help individuals struggling with benzodiazepines abuse.

Signs of Benzodiazepine Addiction

Recognizing the signs of benzodiazepine addiction can be important in identifying and addressing the issue. It’s important to note that everyone’s experience with addiction can be different.

Common signs that may indicate a problem:

=

Taking Higher Doses or Using More Frequently

If an individual starts taking higher doses of benzodiazepines without medical supervision or begins using them more frequently than prescribed, it may be a sign of developing tolerance and dependence.
=

Loss of Control

A person with addiction may find it challenging to control their use of benzodiazepines. They may struggle to stick to prescribed dosages and may take the medication even when it is not medically necessary.
=

Cravings

Persistent and intense cravings for benzodiazepines, accompanied by a strong desire to use the medication, can indicate addiction. These cravings can be both physical and psychological.
=

Social and Occupational Impairment

Addiction to benzodiazepines can interfere with personal relationships, work or school performance, and social functioning. Persistent problems in these areas may be a warning sign.
=

Neglecting Responsibilities

Neglecting important personal or professional responsibilities and obligations due to benzodiazepine use can be an indicator of addiction. This may include failing to show up for work or school, neglecting household chores or bills, or avoiding social engagements.

If you or someone you know is struggling with benzodiazepine addiction or dependency, it’s crucial to seek help from a healthcare professional or addiction specialist. Live Oak Detox can provide appropriate guidance, support, and treatment options to help manage addiction and promote recovery. Call (877) 716-4464 today, to speak with our knowledgeable staff about our benzodiazepine addiction treatment in Florida.

Dangers of Injecting Benzos

Injecting benzodiazepines can pose serious risks and dangers to a person’s health and well-being. It is essential to emphasize that benzodiazepines are not meant to be administered intravenously, as they are primarily designed for oral use under medical supervision.

Here are some of the dangers associated with injecting benzodiazepines:

=
Collapsed Veins
=
Scaring at Injection Points
=
Risk of Infection From Hepatitis B and C, HIV, and Aids
=
Deep Vein Thrombosis (Blood Clots)

Long-term benzodiazepine abuse can cause serious physical and mental damage that can take several years to recover.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is benzodiazepine (benzo) addiction treatment at Live Oak Detox?

Benzo addiction treatment addresses dependency on prescription sedatives like Xanax, Valium or Klonopin. The program may include medically supervised detox, individual and group therapy, relapse-prevention planning, and integrated care for co-occurring mental health conditions. 

Why is medical supervision important for benzo withdrawal?
