Benzo Addiction Treatment in Houston, TX

Benzodiazepine (benzo) addiction can have a profound impact on physical and mental well-being. At Harmony Grove Behavioral Health in Houston, TX, we provide compassionate, evidence-based treatment to help individuals overcome dependence on benzos and build a foundation for lasting recovery.

Understanding Benzodiazepine Addiction

Benzodiazepines, such as Xanax, Valium, Ativan, and Klonopin, are commonly prescribed for anxiety, insomnia, and seizures. While effective when used as directed, prolonged or excessive use can lead to physical dependence and addiction.

Signs of benzo addiction may include:

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

If you or someone you know is struggling with benzo addiction, professional support is essential.
