In a recent article from Medicare Finance entitled, Health Matters: What is Drug Withdrawal?” further evidence of the dangers of benzodiazepine addiction are published. The healthcare agent network states:
“You may be hooked emotionally and psychologically. You may have a physical dependence, too. But if you’re addicted to a drug, whether the drug is legal or illegal, you have a craving for it. You want to use it again. When you stop taking the drug, you may have unpleasant physical reactions.
Drug addiction involves compulsively seeking to use a substance, regardless of the potentially negative social, psychological and physical consequences. Certain drugs, such as narcotics and cocaine, are more physically addicting than some other drugs.
The range of drugs to which you can become addicted is wide. They include:
Cannabis compounds. Contained in marijuana and hashish.
Central nervous system depressants. Barbiturates and benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines include tranquilizers such as diazepam (Valium), alprazolam (Xanax), oxazepam (Serax), lorazepam (Ativan), clonazepam (Klonopin) and chlordiazepoxide (Librium).”
The article further states, “Drug use or abuse crosses the line to drug addiction when you feel you have to have the drug, and you increase the amount of the drug you take.”
At this point an effective drug rehab becomes necessary.
