Xanax Addiction Treatment

If you are one of the many people in need of Xanax addiction treatment, help is available at Stepping Stone Center for Recovery.

Xanax is one of the most prescribed drugs by physicians and psychiatrists alike. It is listed as a tranquilizer which sedates the central nervous system. People who abuse Xanax enjoy the extremely relaxed feelings the drug produces and eventually become physically and emotionally dependent on it.

The Effects of Xanax Addiction

The effects of any addiction vary; people addicted to Xanax typically encounter some of the following:

  • Loss of memory
  • Inability to maintain concentration
  • Excessive sleep
  • Slowed heart rhythm
  • Slowed breathing
  • Feeling tired all the time

Xanax addiction in itself can be life threatening, but when the drug is mixed with other substances the odds of an overdose and potential death are increased ten-fold.

The Xanax withdrawal process is very uncomfortable and unless medically managed, can result in seizures or convulsions. For this reason do not attempt to abruptly discontinue using the drug unless you are under medical supervision like that provided at Stepping Stone Center for Recovery.

TESTIMONIALS

I know you will never believe it but it has been ten and a half months since I finished treatment and am still in recovery. I know you will say it may be more of a miracle that I finished rehab being that I was about as resistant a patient can be, but I am making it one day at a time. Special thanks to Robert.

This is to my therapist Bobby, who never gave up on me. I could never have made it through rehab without your patience. You taught me that I am worth it.

-- Bryan, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My life was a shambles, my husband wanted a divorce and my children wouldn't speak with me. I felt hopeless until we all got together for family treatment. While we all have some hills to climb, my recovery is solid. Who would have thought, 476 days sober. Love to all.

-- Patti P, Atlanta, Georgia

You guys were right when you told me to get right into meetings. They have kept me clean and sober and I have made a lot of good friends. Thanks for bringing meetings into rehab.
