Xanax addiction

Demeevka works with this service confidentially and without judgement. First it is important to assess the person's condition, the risks and motivation and to choose the form of help that is appropriate right now.

Xanax (alprazolam) addiction treatment

Xanax (alprazolam) is a benzodiazepine that quickly causes dependence even at "therapeutic" doses. Withdrawal is dangerous: anxiety, insomnia, tremor and a seizure risk. So it cannot be stopped abruptly — the dose is lowered gradually and under a doctor's control.

Before starting, the doctor assesses doses, length of use, the state of the nervous system, and co-existing disorders.

When a hospital is needed

With high doses and a seizure risk, detox with monitoring is safer.

What comes next

Anxiety often lies behind the use, so psychotherapy and work on the anxiety disorder are needed.

The first contact does not oblige you to start treatment. You can briefly describe the situation, ask questions and get guidance on a safe next step.

If there are acute symptoms, loss of consciousness, seizures, chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe hallucinations or a suspected overdose, you need to contact emergency medical help.
