Xanax Withdrawal and Detox
In this Special Report, Carl Arrogante, a family therapist and addiction specialist, discusses Xanax Withdrawal and Detox.
What is Xanax?
Xanax, alprazolam, belongs to a group of drugs known as benzodiazepines.
It works by slowing down the movement of chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced.
This results in the reduction of nervous tension, or otherwise known as anxiety.
What is Xanax withdrawal?
Depending on individual’s metabolism and DNA, physical dependence to benzodiazepines can occur at any dosage over a period of time, both short-term and long-term.
Large doses or therapeutic doses have all caused dependencies.
Xanax withdrawal is similar to alcohol withdrawal, but can often be worse in terms of discomfort, and detoxifying from benzodiazepines can take even longer than withdrawing from narcotics.
What are the withdrawal symptoms of Xanax?
Fever, hypothermia, palpitations, constipation, diarrhea, dry mouth, nausea, urinary retention, dehydration, agitation, anxiety, depression, hysteria, insomnia, and suicidal thoughts.
What is Xanax detox?
Withdrawal from benzodiazepines can be so severe that people trying to get off benzos frequently require hospitalization.
These dangerous withdrawal symptoms can be greatly reduced through a medical drug detox program that addresses a person’s specific metabolic needs and their state of health to avoid the worst of withdrawal symptoms.
A substance medical drug detox program provides nutritional support, monitors hydration, and applies other various therapeutics when needed to help ease the person from the worst of benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms.
