Xanax Addiction and Treatment Program
Press Release Jan. 2011
Once intended to treat ailments and pain, the use
of legally prescribed medication has swiftly shifted
from a “pain killer” to what could be
categorized as a “legal hallucinatory”,
with dangerous and often deadly side effects for
its abusive users.
The well known anti-depressant Xanax was originally
manufactured in the 70’s and has since earned
a reputation as a habit forming drug that can
potentially “melt away everyday problems”
if used in higher doses, and of course on a everyday
basis.
During the past decade the abuse of a well-known
anti-anxiety medication Alprazolam or better known
as “Xanax” has become a national pandemic.
While legally prescribed doses of this medication
which usually average from 0.25 milligrams, three
or four times per day, can ease the affects of
depression and other mild panic disorders, higher
doses of this medication which are often used
with alcohol and other recreational drugs such
as cocaine and methadone to potentiate its relaxing
effects, can permanently damage the nervous system
and have deadly consequences for its users while
providing victim with a short term sense of “well-being”
which wears off and in most circumstances, leaves
user more and more dependent on the drug. So dependent
in fact, that some addicts report that they found
themselves incapable of carrying out everyday
tasks without the abuse of the medication.
Although this drug promises to alleviate symptoms
of depression and other panic disorders when taken
in its intended doses, its high dependency rate,
and its consumption with other drug to create
hallucinatory effects amongst adults, has given
researchers and various public health officials
have reason to believe that avoiding the drug
all together is a healthier option due its potentially
addicting side effects which in recent years have
proven to be devastating and life altering.
Nine years ago things were different. Prescription
Drug was not the major reason for a drug addict
to check in to a rehab facility. Nowadays, most
treatment centers across the country have added
this new specialty to their treatment programs.
There are special programs in place in many good
drug rehab facilities dealing specifically with
prescription drug abuse. Two such facilities are
Inspirations for Youth and Families, a teen rehab
center, catering to 12 to 18 year old and Cove
Center for Recovery, an adult rehab center for
individuals 18 year old and up.
If you or someone you know are addicted to Xanax
and can't stop using the drug, please find professional
help.
Because addiction is typically a chronic disease,
people cannot simply stop using the drug of their
choice for a few days and be cured. Most patients
addicted to prescription drugs require long-term
or repeated episodes of care to achieve the ultimate
goal of sustained abstinence of the drug and recovery
of their lives.
