BENZODIAZEPINE TREATMENT PROGRAMS

These drugs carry a significant risk of addiction, leading to dangerous dependency. At BIG SKY Treatment, we understand the complexities and challenges of benzo addiction and offer a compassionate, all-encompassing approach to support individuals in their journey toward lasting recovery.

Benzodiazepines, commonly known as benzos, are a class of medications prescribed for anxiety, seizures, and insomnia. Benzo drug abuse develops when the brain becomes reliant on the calming effects of them, making normal functioning without them increasingly difficult. Prolonged or inappropriate use of benzodiazepines disrupts the body’s natural chemical balance, leading to intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms when one attempts to quit.

Prolonged use of prescribed benzodiazepines significantly increases the risk of developing physical and psychological dependence, which can lead to potentially fatal overdoses, especially when combined with other substances such as alcohol. Common side effects include cognitive impairments, such as memory loss, confusion, and difficulty concentrating. Paradoxically, discontinuing benzos can lead to withdrawal symptoms, such as seizures and tremors, which can be severe and life-threatening.

BIG SKY’s treatment for benzodiazepine misuse encompasses a blend of intervention, mental health counseling, and both in-person and telehealth options for outpatient programs. Our approach, tailored to individual needs, includes Experiential Therapy Programs like equine therapy and outdoor activities alongside conventional therapies such as family, individual, and group sessions.

BIG SKY Treatment prioritizes psychological and behavioral treatment as a cornerstone of our approach to benzodiazepine addiction recovery. Our methods include many evidence-based therapies. Additionally, we offer group therapy sessions and individual counseling, providing a supportive space for patients to share experiences and learn effective coping strategies.

Our commitment to our patients extends beyond the initial substance abuse treatment program. BIG SKY provides continuous care through alumni support groups, offering a network for peer support and connection. We also offer individual relapse prevention therapy to develop personalized strategies for maintaining sobriety. Our case management services assist patients in accessing necessary resources and navigating healthcare systems.
