Benzodiazepines or benzos can be very addictive. These drugs are often prescribed by doctors to treat a range of conditions, including treating anxiety disorders and sleep conditions. Some people use them illicitly without a prescription. It is possible to develop an addiction to them even if you are using them as your doctor prescribes. In all cases, our team at Viewpoint Dual Recovery Center can offer you the support you need to recover.

What Are Benzos?
Benzos are a type of drug often given to help people who are dealing with a variety of mental health disorders. They can be very effective and have been used for over 50 years. However, they also create addiction in many people. More so, it is not safe to simply stop using them. It would be best if you worked closely with a doctor to do so because of the risks of withdrawal.
Some examples of benzos include:
- Xanax
- Ambien
- Ativan
- Klonopin
- Valium
- Lunesta
- Halcion
Any of these drugs can put you at risk for the development of addiction. Our benzo addiction treatment program in Arizona can help you to break that addiction to start on the path forward.
