Benzodiazepine Abuse, Detox and Treatment in NJ

Benzodiazepine is a type of prescription drug, classified as a tranquilizer. Doctors may prescribe benzodiazepine to help individuals with anxiety, insomnia, seizures, and more. However, benzodiazepine abuse occurs when this drug is taken for non-medicinal purposes or outside the scope of their doctor’s prescription. When taken without medical supervision, benzodiazepines can lead to drug dependence and cause slow or impaired functioning within an individual. It also not uncommon for those abusing benzodiazepines to abuse other prescription medications, such as opiates. When taken in combination with other drugs, serious illness, injury, and even death may occur. Professional detox and treatment are often necessary to break the cycle of benzodiazepine abuse.
