Benzodiazepine Addiction Treatment in Houston, TX

Insurance and Coverage

Harmony Grove Behavioral Health is currently an out-of-network provider; however, we do accept private pay and private insurance. Calling to explore your treatment options and how we can help you address the effects of benzodiazepines in your life, as well as your coverage, ensures that you begin your healing journey with confidence. 

Comprehensive Treatment for Benzo Addiction

Harmony Grove Behavioral Health is a dedicated outpatient treatment facility, creating a treatment program that addresses substance abuse as well as the short-term and long-term side effects of benzos on your mental health. Our outpatient programs last 12 weeks, personalizing each step of your journey while connecting you to both medical professionals and a robust, dedicated community of peers in Houston so you receive the professional help and support you need to challenge long-term use. 

Each treatment plan is personalized based on your needs, focusing on both the effects of benzodiazepine abuse as well as underlying anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, and other needs to pursue goals beyond drug use and recovery. Our community-focused approach creates an entirely new approach to daily life, celebrating healing from benzodiazepines while building new drug-free routines and sober relationships.

Understanding Benzodiazepine Addiction

Benzodiazepines, such as Xanax, Valium, Ativan, lorazepam, clonazepam, alprazolam, diazepam, and Klonopin, are commonly prescribed for anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, and seizures. While use of benzodiazepines can be effective when used as directed, long-term use or using these drugs beyond the label can lead to benzodiazepine dependence and addiction.

These drugs have a sedative, calming effect, helping to calm the central nervous system to address feelings of anxiety and other mental health disorders. However, this can also lead to compromised motor skills, cognitive impairment, slurred speech, and drowsiness. Identifying these potential signs of drug abuse in a loved one is the first step in addressing benzodiazepine addiction and the potentially life-threatening consequences of addiction. 

Other signs of benzo addiction may include:

• Increased tolerance and needing higher doses to achieve the same effect
• Difficulty reducing, tapering off, or stopping use despite wanting to quit
• Withdrawal symptoms, such as anxiety, insomnia, or seizures, occur when not taking the drug
• Neglecting responsibilities or relationships due to benzo use

Recognizing these symptoms is the first step, and acting on these signs can help prevent benzodiazepine overdose and facilitate transformative change. If you or someone you know is struggling with benzo addiction, professional support is essential. Our outpatient treatment centers can work with you to explore healing from benzodiazepine addiction while building life skills and strategies to balance your goals with ongoing sobriety, professional responsibilities, and improve your daily quality of life.
