A Look at Benzo Addiction
Benzos are prescription medications used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and other conditions. Common types of benzos include Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, and Ativan. These medications work by increasing the activity of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which helps to calm the brain and central nervous system. However, misuse and dependence on these sedative drugs can lead to addiction and adverse health effects. At NorthStar, we understand the challenges individuals face when grappling with benzo addiction and offer tailored treatment solutions to address their unique needs.
