Treating Addiction to CNS Depressants
Press Release Oct. 2011
Patients addicted to barbiturates and benzodiazepines
should not attempt to stop taking them on their own. Withdrawal
symptoms from these drugs can be problematic, and in the
case of certain CNS depressants- potentially life-threatening.
Although no research regarding the treatment of barbiturate
and benzodiazepine addiction exists, addicted patients
must undergo medically supervised detoxification because
the treatment dose must be gradually tapered. Often barbiturate
and benzodiazepine abuse occurs in conjunction with the
abuse of another substance or drug, such as alcohol or
cocaine. In these cases of poly drug abuse, Cove’s
treatment approach addresses the multiple addictions.
Cove offers Inpatient/Residential and Outpatient counseling
services to help the individual during this process.
Cove offers cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses
on modifying the patient's thinking, expectations, and
behaviors, while at the same time increasing skills
for coping with various life stressors. All of our addiction
treatment programs provides recreational and sports
activities which has also been used successfully to
help individuals adapt to the discontinuation of benzodiazepines
and its discomforts. Our addiction treatment approach
helps people to leave their destructive life style and
immerse themselves in a new and different healing environment.
Cove is nationally known and respected for its unique
successful approach to real life recovery.
Interventions are necessary for individuals who are
unable or unwilling to recognize the need for help.
