Xanax Addiction Treatment

Break Free from Dependency and Reclaim Your Life with Professional Support

Xanax, known generically as alprazolam, is a benzodiazepine prescribed to manage anxiety and panic disorders. While effective for short-term use, it carries a risk of dependence and addiction, especially when used beyond the prescribed duration or in higher doses. At Agua Dulce Treatment Center, we specialize in helping individuals overcome Xanax addiction through personalized treatment plans and compassionate care.

Understanding Xanax What is Xanax?

Xanax is a central nervous system depressant that enhances the effects of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), leading to calming and sedative effects. It’s commonly prescribed for:

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Excessive and persistent worry.
Panic Disorder: Sudden and repeated episodes of intense fear.

However, prolonged use can lead to tolerance, meaning higher doses are needed to achieve the same effect, increasing the risk of dependence and addiction.

Signs and Symptoms of Xanax Addiction

Recognizing the signs of Xanax addiction is crucial for timely intervention. Symptoms may include:

Increased Usage: Taking higher doses than prescribed or using Xanax without a prescription.
Withdrawal Symptoms: Experiencing anxiety, insomnia, tremors, or seizures when not using the medication.
Loss of Control: Inability to reduce or stop Xanax use despite negative impacts on health and relationships.
Cognitive Impairment: Memory problems, confusion, or difficulty concentrating.
Doctor Shopping: Seeking multiple prescriptions from different healthcare providers.

If these signs are present, seeking professional help is essential to address the addiction and begin the recovery process.
