Benzo Rehab & Detox in Texas

Benzos, or benzodiazepines, are a class of sedative medications that slow down the nervous system and brain, causing the user to feel more relaxed. As such, these are prescribed to treat anxiety disorders, panic disorders, muscle spasms, and seizures. However, misuse is unfortunately common, and this can quickly lead to benzodiazepine addiction. The problem is especially prevalent in the United States, where 5.3 million adults reported benzo misuse in one year.

What’s even worse is that the withdrawal symptoms from coming off benzos make getting clean extremely difficult for most people. That’s where we come in. At Genesis Medical Detox, we offer comprehensive benzo addiction treatment programs that focus on a medically supervised detox, meaning our patients can get through the withdrawal process in a safe medical setting.

Genesis Medical Detox’s Approach

We do things a little differently here at Genesis. We always aim to provide a safe, individualized benzo addiction treatment plan that focuses on the patient first. Here’s what to expect from our benzo rehab care.

A Stand-Alone Detox

At Genesis, we operate in a hospital setting and offer a stand-alone detox. Unlike other benzo rehabs, ours doesn’t involve extremely long stays. Instead, we focus primarily on getting our patients through the difficult withdrawal period with a team of medical professionals there to help at any stage of the process.

Personalized Treatment Plans

No benzo addiction plan at Genesis Medical Detox is the same as any other. We understand that every person who walks into our treatment center is an individual who has their own unique needs and expectations when it comes to detoxing. Our expert team will craft a personal treatment program for you, considering any co-occurring disorders or special requests to give you the most comfortable and effective stay possible.

Medical Supervision

The withdrawal symptoms after a benzodiazepine addiction are particularly challenging to deal with and, in some cases, can be dangerous. That’s why our benzo addiction treatment program offers 24/7 medical supervision with a professional healthcare staff ready to guide you through the treatment process and assist you no matter what.

Therapeutic Support

The psychological aspects of benzo addiction can be just as difficult as the physical withdrawal symptoms, so our program offers therapeutic support for all patients during their stay. This includes both individual and group therapy.

Experienced Staff

We only hire the most qualified and experienced staff at our benzo addiction treatment centers. We have a team of incredible nurses, doctors, and therapists whose mission is to help you get through the detox safely and comfortably.

Fast Check In

When a person decides to treat their addiction, they should be able to start their recovery journey as soon as possible, and that’s what our treatment center offers. We provide ground transportation within a 2.5 hour radius of our Texas treatment center, and, once you get here, you can expect an easy and speedy check-in process.

Our Texas Treatment Center

Our benzo addiction treatment center is specifically located in Ennis. So, if you are looking for a rehab center in Dallas, Fort Worth, or any nearby city or town, you are in the right place. The facility has eight beds, all with their bathroom and TV for our patients’ comfort. The surroundings are especially beautiful, which can help anyone who stays with us envision a brighter future after the difficult detoxing process.

Understanding Benzo Addictions

Most people don’t associate drug addictions with prescription medications, but they are more common than you might think, and benzos are particularly addictive. A benzo addiction refers to the physical and mental dependence on benzodiazepines, a specific class of medications that are typically prescribed to treat anxiety disorders, insomnia, muscle spasms, and seizures.

Benzodiazepines work by calming the brain through the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid, also known as GABA. The result is that the user feels calmer, chilled out, and can sleep more easily. However, when used too much for too long, users can build a tolerance and experience benzo dependence. Then, when they try to stop, they go through unpleasant withdrawal symptoms that make them reach for the benzos again. It turns into a perpetual cycle, which is why benzo addiction treatment in a safe medical setting is so important.

The Signs of a Benzo Addiction in Yourself

Are you worried you may have become dependent on benzos? Here are some of the signs of a benzo addiction in yourself:

  • Increased Anxiety

  • Frequent Headaches

  • Depression

  • Impaired Memory

  • Insomnia

  • Restlessness

  • Taking More than Your Doctor Prescribed

  • Seeking Benzos Away from Your Usual Doctor

Some of these physical symptoms, such as insomnia and increased anxiety, indicate that you have built a tolerance to the drug. Taking more than your doctor prescribed or seeking the drugs away from your usual doctor shows an addiction, as it means you are trying to get hold of benzos without your proper prescription.

The Signs of a Benzo Addiction in Someone Else

It is hard to watch anyone go through a benzodiazepine addiction – it can be even harder if you do not know the exact signs to spot. Here are some indicators that someone you know has an addiction to benzos:

  • Confusion

  • Poor Judgment

  • Slurred Speech

  • Decreased Coordination

  • Seeking Benzos from Others

If you believe someone you know has a benzo addiction, feel free to get in touch with our expert team.

The Dangers of a Benzo Addiction

Individuals struggling with benzo addiction may experience both short-term and long-term impacts.

The two main short-term dangers include overdose or an allergic reaction. An overdose occurs when a person takes too much of the drug in one go (which is more likely if the user has built a tolerance), and some of the symptoms include shallow breathing, dilated pupils, and being unable to stay awake. The signs of an allergic reaction to benzos include breathing difficulties, swelling of the face and throat, and a skin rash. Both cases require immediate medical attention.

The long-term impact of benzo abuse is a little more complicated and may manifest in different ways depending on the person. Here are some of the symptoms a person may experience after using benzos for too long:

  • Anxiety

  • Insomnia

  • Weakness

  • Impaired Memory

  • Low Blood Pressure

  • Suicidal Thoughts

  • Seizures

  • Hallucinations

It can also increase a person’s chances of developing dementia.

Benzo Withdrawal Symptoms

Before undergoing benzo addiction treatment or trying to get yourself off, it helps to know the withdrawal symptoms to expect. These include:

  • Sweating

  • Insomnia

  • Anxiety

  • Heart Palpitations

  • Nausea

  • Depression

  • Panic Attacks

  • Psychosis

  • Seizures

Some of these are more common than others – for example, many people will not experience psychosis or seizures. However, the chance is always there, which is why seeking out a benzo addiction treatment program with 24/7 medical supervision is so essential.
